Can my cousins kids count as my nieces/nephews?

Question

well my cousin and i are real close and she's pregnant, and i was thinking, can i consider her baby girl my niece?

if not, then what are they considered?

Answer 1

No.

You can be a god-mother or something. Otherwise you're just a cousin to the newborn as well.  

Answer 2

if they r ur cousins kids then that makes them like ur 2nd cousins

Answer 3

they would be your 2nd cousin.but most important they are family.and that is the most important think in the world.i love my family.

Answer 4

The baby girl will actually be your 2nd cousin, but I don't see any harm in you being an unofficial aunt. I'm consider a couple of my cousins like siblings and can't help but think of them as being aunt and uncle whenever I have kids.

Answer 5

no they will be considered your 2nd cousins..

Answer 6

Yep, 2nd cousin. However, you don't have to be an aunt to be an aunt, if you get what i'm saying. You can be the equivalent without actually being one.

Answer 7

sure

2nd niece

lol im not sure

Answer 8

you can consider them anything you want.

but they are your cousins. 2nd i think.
