Still reviewing ur case.

They are your cousins jor abi you want to call them step cousins

Call them your cousin step brother.

There is a reason why each relation we have has a specific name be it on the maternal side or the paternal side. We don't have words for step anything. They are either your brothers , sisters , cousins ,aunt , uncle grandmother and so forth step denotes an outsider it's not an inclusive way of looking at family the way we do in our society.

Did you realise with this long essay you still did not answer her question. What's she supposed to call them?

Hmmm... You guys aren't related by blood and aren't really family in the real sense.

I think the step thing stops at brother/sister/father/mother, although some like to call their uncle/aunt's step child their 'step cousins'. Both cases look similar to me.
