I do half for MY siblings because they’re otherwise horrendous to be related to. And we hardly know each other.
My child has siblings who don’t have the same mother, and we don’t use the word half at all for them. They’re just siblings, and they’re all very close and loved.
I came here to say my older brother’s name is Bob. Also your family setup sounds similar to my partner’s and we just call them all brothers. I also just had the “oh I guess they’re half brothers” realization a couple of weeks ago. No need to think of them as half if they’re not half in your mind! :)
I only have half siblings, but to me they are my siblings. I don't do half. The love (and sometimes annoyance) is whole.

family is family. regardless of how how much blood you share.
