Whoot!

I am informed I have a third grand-nepoti.

Congratulations!

(I am assuming that this is related to 'grandchildren / great nephews/nieces' rather than 'nepotism'.)

Congrats.

Also, I misread that as 'neopet' and was a little bemused for a moment.

Congratulations! I continue to feel that you and my other friends with like good news are too young to be having it yet. But of course you aren't.

I think I still have a little time to go on that one - seven grand-nephews and one grand-niece, but the oldest was born in 2007 so hopefully won't be a parent for a year or two.

Same etymology, since nepotism means favouring your family members like your nephews/nieces.

Do you mean another grand-nephew/niece, the third one so far, or do you mean a great-great-grand-nephew/niece?

The term I would have used for the descendant of a sibling is "nibling".

It's probably a sign of having watched Gravity Falls recently (with niblings, even) that I find myself wondering if you, as a gr'uncle, will begin affecting a fez and eyepatch, or perhaps polydactyly.
