In some parts of the English-speaking world the term for the children of your niece is great nephew and great niece. In other parts of the English-speaking world they say grand nephew and grand niece. Either form is "acceptable" somewhere. Use the form you feel comfortable with. If you find many people around you are using the other form, whichever that may be, and you want to "fit in" feel free to use the other form, or not, as you prefer.
