I didn't realize that "Aunt" and "Uncle" were used as honorific titles because southerners didn't want to call them "Mr. or Mrs.".

In that case ( this applies to people who have lived in Florida for generations, are from other Southern states, and those from Trinidad, Guyana, etc) I am called Miss Dpuck by adults and kids that I am not close to. If I’m close to the family, I’m called Aunt Dpuck.
It was odd being called Miss Dpuck by adult coworkers. Even those close to my age.
