Nanny or Grandma

Lady Gaga sounds wonderful.

I was grandma until my 2nd GC started to talk and started to call me by a shortened version of my first name. Now all 3 of my GC do

I seem to be Nana to everyone in the family now. My ACs call me Nana and so does my S i L. I quite like it. My mum was always Grandma.

I'm Nanny L or if I tell them off naughty Nanny!

I'm Gran. Nannies are people employed to look after children.

Both sets of our grandparents were Grandma and Grandpa. When I was young, we knew Mum's parents as Grandma with the black hair and Grandpa with the white hair, and Dad's parents as Grandma with the white hair and Grandpa with the black hair. Eventually, Dad's parents took in a tiny calico kitten (probably only about a week old) that my cousin had found abandoned. (My cousin loves cats but couldn't have one where she was living, so she asked my grandparents to take the kitten.) They named the kitten Snoopy. My youngest brother then knew our grandparents as the Grandma (and Grandpa) with the Snoopy and the Grandma (and Grandpa) without the Snoopy

(As an aside, Snoopy was fantastic for my grandparents. She was spoiled rotten, lived to be 17 years old, and passed away peacefully in Grandma's arms. Dad, a licensed veterinarian, humanely euthanized her.)

I’m Granny and my Mum was Granny 😊

I’m a Grandma, MrJ is Grandad, same as my parents were, except my Dad ended up Pampa, I used to employ a nanny.

I’m Grandma. Wouldn’t have like nanny as that’s a paid help. However in Wales it’s Nain, therefore Nan for short. I would have liked Nain

You employed a goat?!

My name is Maya, my cousin Nonna and our grandmother was Nanna.. which I really didn't want...nor did my Mum who was called Grandma..

Both I and the other GM are Granny, with first name if needed. Could you not be e.g Nanny Ann and Nanny Sue?
It’s worked fine for us.

AIBU that as a new grandparents, who is refered to as Nanny by my kids and myself, my mother also wants to be called Nanny?
Well, I've read it three times and I'm still confused, sorry.

Yes, Nanny Sharr and Nanny Sue (or whatever your mother's name is). Although perhaps you should pick an alternative.

Anyway, she did have first dibs, being Nanny already!
I think.

The children will probably call you bing bong and noo noo or something.
That'll put paid to all the silliness.

GanGan.

What do the existing grandchildren/ great grandchildren call each of you?

My eldest, also the 1st grandchildren, couldn't manage 'Nana' but called my mum 'Anna'. Further grandchildren followed suit.

Similarly, our eldest grandchildren couldn't deal with Grandma and Grandpa so we are Ma and Pa to all 9 of them. I love it.

Who cares what the person is called? I couldn't care less what my grandchildren call me as long as they call me something and we love each other and have fun together.

There are no rules really - the grown-up GC call me Nan - the two little girls call me nanny , the two little boys call me Nan. I get confused 😂 Today I sent a video message to my little boys, referring to myself as Nanny, thanking them for the coasters they made for me at school. I answer to anything anyway ………….

Gran.

My daughter began referring to me as Granny when they got a kitten that I would visit & worship often. As I came in the door, she would call out "Granny's here Daisy!"
Daisy is now 17 and the title stuck.

I don't think it matters Monica, some posters are just interested.

My Dh is called Gaga by the 8 grandchildren.
I’m a Nanna.

I am Gran, the other grandparents are Nanny and Grandma. Sometimes my little grandson calls me GrannyIvy and I like this too. Hence my name on here GrannyIvy 😂

To my daughter's child I am nana and her dad's mum is grandma.
To my son's children I am Nanny and their mum's mum is nana .
I had 2 granny's . It doesn't matter as long as the children are happy
Before g/d could talk properly my husband was do-do [laugh]

I’m Nanna and OH is Grandad. The other grandad died many years ago and the other grandmother, who died six years ago was Grandma. I loved it when my granddaughter first called out ‘nanna’.
