No doubt this has been discussed before, so please forgive me. I'm new here.

My first GC is due next May (sadly in Oz), and I've been given free reign as to what I can be called.

I'm single, so there's not male equivalent to consider, and my first name's Susan.

I'd really love something original, as I'm definately not 'normal'.

But then, are any of us? Ha.....

Oooh, ideas please, ladies!

As I always used to sing the Bob the Builder song,( well not strictly Bob),but 'Hi ho,hi ho,and off to work we go......', my wife and I are Nanny and Grandad Hi Ho, and the other grandparents are Nanny and Grandad Airport, as Den was a British Airways engineer at Heathrow.

Although the children are six and four, the names are still used without fail!
