Found this phrase in 'Destinos', an educational Spanish soap opera;
Angela introduces her uncles and aunts to Raqquel.
- Raquel, éstos son mis tíos: Titi Olga,
- Mucho gusto.
- Tia Carmen,
- Mucho gusto.
et cetera.

ok...I wiki'd and found it for you ti ti (with a space between) is an affectionate way to say aunt or auntie. - 0095ca4c, Jul 19, 2013

I suppose it is the word "tía" or even "tío" (aunt or uncle). CYoung children many times double syllables : papá, mamá, tití etc.
Tití Olga would be Aunt Olga.
Many toddlers call their grandmothers "abu", a short form of "abuela".

Try the translator for words.
Tití (with an accent over the last i) is a marmoset.

I found that also, but it does not make sense. I guess it may be a misprint. - Zoltán, Jul 19, 2013
Margherite, what you are saying make sense. - Zoltán, Jul 19, 2013
