The website where I found this information was this:
picsou.fandom.com/fr/wiki/Autres_neveux_de_Mickey_Mouse
I have another question, and I was wondering if you could answer it for me.
The site also mentions other supposed nephews of Mickey:
Monty, Morrie, Marmaduke, Timmy, Billy, Freddy, Huey, Georgie, Dewey, Louie, Tommy, Ronnie and Lonnie.
So my doubt is:
• Officially, at some point were these names used to refer to Mickey's supposed nephews?
• But if it's just the names of the orphans, were the names actually ever officially used to refer to the orphans?

Morrie, Monty, Maisie (missing from your list), and Marmaduke are the names of more of the Orphans om GULLIVER MICKEY, according to either the presskit or a storybook adaptation (unsure which at the moment; the book _Mickey Mouse: His Life and Times_ may confirm, but I'm not physically near my copy).
There's a little bit of fuzziness insofar as inside the Disney animation department in the old days, the Orphans were interchangeably referred to as "nephews"; they call Mickey "uncle" in their earliest appearances; and while they were eventually distinguished from MF in books and other consumer products, there may have been some early presskits, etc. that confused them as well. So there could be documentation calling some of the above-listed characters Mickey's nephews. I don't think they're really biological relatives—it seems more like an "honorary uncle" type of relation. (In ORPHANS' PICNIC, the Orphans call Donald uncle, too... and it seems rather unlikely they're related to him!)
Thank you very much for the information
