to expect that not all grandfathers are known as grandad?!

One thing I noticed when living in the UK was it was difficult to buy a birthday card without it having ie 'Happy Birthday Grandma or Merry Christmas to my Brother and his Wife etc? A card with Happy Birthday and the purchaser fills it in how they like is preferable. Maybe it was where I shopped but I remember finding it a tad annoying not to be able to buy a Birthday card with no title on it.

Grandpa cards are definitely in Clintons! My husband is 'Grandpa' and he received 3 lovely cards from his granddaughters last week - all saying Grandpa!!

My grand daughter, now 17, calls me "Gramps" which I love!
My two older grandsons call me "Grandad. That's ok too!

There are definitely Grandpa cards in the shops. My children (now grown-up) have managed to buy cards every year for both birthday and christmas times.

I called my grandfather 'Bompa'. There's certainly no card to my knowledge with that name on it . Similarly one of my granddaughters calls me 'maman'. Perhaps there's a business opportunity here?

My children identified their grandparents as Nanny I* and Nanny E* and Grandad T* and Grandpa M***. otherwise calling them Nanny or Grandad and Grandpa. Neither grandmother wanted to be called "Granny."

Try Moon pig you can personalise cards to what name is appropriate.

That is www.moonpig.com/uk/ Googling moonpig will get you there. I hope it helps!

Try "Moonpig" they might be able to do you one to order.

My 19 month GS was shouting for his Dadgan yesterday

Hey, make your own! Easy peasy - if you want tips go look up card making. Essentially print any writing on your computer and run it off on a bit of card. Get some sticky back paper and cut some basic shapes out; balloons are easy and ink in some strings; or numbers for his/her birthday - if you want to be more adventurous get a clip of something from clip art, stick some fabric on double sided sticky paper, cut it out and voila bang it on the card. Elephants are nice.

I had two Nannas and from being very small I would call my paternal Nanna Nanna Pipe as my Grandad smoked a pipe, as I was the eldest my siblings they also called them Nanna and Grandad Pipe.

My two youngest GSs have two grannies, one step-granny, one great-granny and one step-grandma; one granda, one grandad, one step-granda. I think that's all. I (paternal granny) am Granny A; maternal granny is Granny E; step-granny is Granny M; and great granny is just Granny. I think the boys have now just about sussed it. Comes of having divorced grandparents and I'm the only one still single.

Mr P is known to his step grands as "Grampy Bill", partly because I always called my own grandfather "Grampy". He does worry thought that it sounds a bit like "Grumpy Bill", which he definitely isn't!

I am the grand-daughter, daughter and wife of Grandpas, but get round the problem by never using birthday cards with names on!

Ebay has a small selection of Grandpa cards.

My husband and my son's father in law are both called Paul. So to avoid problems, he is Grandad Paul and my husband is Grandad Bear (now, naturally, shortened to Bear). This makes me Nanny Bear. No chance of any cards there, then, so my son and daughter in law just buy ordinary grandad cards and write the "proper" names inside - our Littlies are too small to write yet. I think it is lovely to have a special name - the husband of one of my friends is known as "Gnome" - always thought that was great.

I think I'm grrrranny ikad!

Here is an uninspiring one from M&S.

They are very thin on the ground even online.

Go and look on www.folksy.com - individuals selling all kinds of handmade things, including cards which they will personalise as you wish. (Yes I suppose this is advertising, in a way, but it is advertising a lot of individual craftspeople, most of them amateurs....... a bit like saying "get it on ebay".....)

flick My DGC call my FIL their Grandad, used a lot in the North.

I would have said that 'Grandpa' was just as popular as 'Grandad'. I have rarely heard anyone call or refer to their grandfather as 'Grandad'.

Sadly my DGC only have one living grandfather as DDiL's father died when she was a toddler. He is called 'Grandpa'. The Grandm's are just that, with their first names appended to differentiate. DS was hoping that I would be called Grannima, which is what he called his paternal grandmother, but despite his best attempts 'Grandma' seems to be winning

I love being 'Gwanny'
