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.

Just call 'em noobs at that point.

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

Lol. You're ignoring its relationg to sibling tho. Noobling?

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
