I think it's a teaching kids respect thing. I was taught to never be that familiar with adults that I used their first name.
All adults were Mr and Mrs or their rank, but I was brought up to call any adult that was a close family friend Aunt or Uncle that has carried through to adulthood my good friends, even close friends of my siblings who have kids, all their kids call me auntie suzy, except for one neice she doesn't understand the whole auntie/uncle concept, but that's because her parents didn't want to be called mum and dad. She was taught to call them Mick and Kelli, so I'm Miss Suzy to her.
In Hawaii Auntie and Uncle is a respect thing, younger people I am familiar with but don't really 'know' me call me Auntie while I'm there. So while I don't think I've ever heard it in Canon it seems to be a reasonable expectation that Grace would call the other two members Auntie Kono and Uncle Chin.

Does that help?
