My niece lives now lives with me (10 years old) and doesn’t like me calling it “bedtime”… it’s “baby-ish”… but she doesn’t have an alternate suggestion. I’m open to ideas?

At my house we called it "Quit stalling and get your ass in bed".
Time for non-eternal rest
or time for temporary death
Eh, time to go to sleep or get ready for bed? I mean same concept, different words.
Perhaps just say "time to get ready for bed"?
"Looks like it's sleepin' time. Gotta sleep-sleep-sleep." Or just sleep time.
Well, her problem is probably just the idea that she has a bedtime rather than the terms used.
My solution would be to have some sort of loud speaker telling everyone something along the lines of "NOW IS THE TIME OF SLEEPING". If you have some kind of home assistant thing you can probably set that up. That could be paired with warning count downs and automatic dimming of lights.
I actually have a routine on Alexa that turns off lights and starts dimming others for me.
My wife and I (late 40's, with no kids) refer to it as sleepy time in our house, but that probably isn't any better than bedtime. 😆

I asked ChatGPT but I don't like its suggestions:
rest my child, for it is time for Dream Hour
Lay your physical self on the rest slab and lose consciousness my offspring, the current instant corresponds to the beginning of the inactivity period
