    Makes me think of California Uber alles for some reason.

    Knock knock at your front door.
    It's the blue suede denim police.
    They have come for you uncool niece!

    I guess they'd be the Oakley thumb police though, and they'd be coming for your cool not-a niece (is the a non gendered term for niece/nephew?)

            I'm sorry but that's an awful word. It sounds like some moist creature living in the mold between unwashed toes

              I don't think it's very wildly used yet, so if you're gonna astroturf a competitor, now's the time.

                Well nephews first vowel is an e, and niece is an i, so it makes sense that the next word in the line would use the next vowel, which is an o.
                Nooble is obviously the correct answer.

                    Nah, they're far more advanced in the field of gender than binaries. They're multiclassing.

                    Well since niece and nephew are so far removed from sister and brother, I just didnt feel like sibling was relevant.
                    Perhaps an amalgamation of the words is better Niesphew? Sounds like a sneeze.
                    Alternatively it can make use of the vowel "a" and be first in line. Nabble and nabling are both acceptable.
                    I would however still argue against having it be like "sibling" since my sister is a sibling like how my nabble would be a nabbling
