Doesn't this definition imply some kind of odd incest? Also, I found a book with a different definition: "eventually a double aunt as she was her father's sister who married her mother's brother". Does not seem a common term anyhow. Equinox ◑ 01:54, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
- Ditto double uncle SemperBlotto (talk) 05:06, 26 June 2016 (UTC):::I wrote a new definition. We hardly need to list every possible way of being a double aunt. One example is enough. --Hekaheka (talk) 03:59, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
- Current definition seems overly watered down: anyone's aunt will be one parent's sister and the other's sister-in-law, as long as their parents are married. --Tropylium (talk) 23:10, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
- The usual sense is siblings marrying siblings. However, marital status does not confer aunt-ness; that is, the parents of the child need not be married but the sisters of both mother and father are still aunts. Marriage of the parents' sibs to otherwise-unrelated people can confer aunt-ness, so a marriage of an existing aunt to a parental sib would 'double' that connection. - Amgine/t·e 22:17, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

- I think there are definitions that have yet to be added. There are several ways to become a double aunt or uncle Leasnam (talk) 14:36, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
