What do call your older cousins?

Tweet

I was just thinking about a few weeks ago when I was visiting two of my favorite cousins and their families. I call my first cousins by their first name regardless of how old they are even if they are old enough to be my parents. But my second cousins (parents cousins) I call them cousin and their first name first name (ex. cousin Jane). I thought about it because I don't actually remember every being told to do this. When I saw my cousins a few weeks ago their children (my second cousins) called me cousin my name. I hadn't seen them in several years and I remember when they were about three or four the last time I saw them they called me by my first name. I guess when their parents talked about me they said cousin my first name and maybe that's why they started calling me cousin first name.
