Nanny or Nannie

Nanny to me means as you say a paid person to look after children. Nan or nannie seems fine although I am called gran

I am called 'ma', not may ways for that to go wrong!

I'm Grandma to some and Nanny to others I haven't ever seen it spelt Nannie before.

I do wish for an 'edit' button...

I think people can usually differentiate between a paid usually youngish nanny and a real Nanny/Grandparent.

Why not just Gran? No spelling worries there.

I'm Nanna sounds a bit softer than Nanny and it was what I called my Grandmother.

I'm Granny but I also like Nan. It sounds more like a nickname and less like an employee.

I'm Nan, whch I like best of all.

I am nanny, with a 'y' it seems because that's the way GS has alway spelled it since he could hold a pencil. I suggested to him recently that now he's nearly ten he could call me nan. He said "but you aren't nan, you're nanny!"

Me too jordana or maybe a goat

Like you Teetime I'm nanna because that's what I called my grandmas. I don't like either nanny or nan, but each to their own. I quite like grandma, but I'm not old enough to be one, well not yet! If I'm still here in say 20 years, I'm going to definitely insist on being called grandma, by which time I expect to have the right sort of warbly voice to go with such a grand title.

I am Grannie.

And is it Granny or Grannie? My Scottish grandmother was Grannie, which is what I favour.

Whatever you want is what it should be! I had a Nana and a Gaga, and my children have a Ganny and a Gragry, so I dont think there is a particular protocol for such things!

Nanny for me too, I have never seen it spelled with ' ie '. Not that important in the scheme of things though just glad they don't call me anything worse ! !

I am 'Grandma' and so is the other Grandma. Differentiated by our First names when we are all together.

When D asked me my preference whilst pregnant with GC1 I said nanna. Which I remained until he was about 2 when he started calling me nannie which disappointed me and gets confusing as other GP is nannie too.
I agree nannie is a relatively nanny is paid help.

Flipping predictive...relative

I'm Granny to my three girlies and my 13 year old grandson has always called me daftgrannie ,usually at the top of his voice from the other side of a shop.I never liked Nanny or Nanna ,I'm their granny so why would they call me anything else?

3 of the 4 call my husband Papa and the 4th calls him Grandpa ,thir own choice

I'm Granny, mostly because my mum has always and still is Nanna. Now shouted by 2 year old loudly as "Gwanny" when he wants me!

I am Grannie to two and Bro to the third , been so since she was seven , she is now 17

I am Granny spelt with a y but no reason at all why it can't be ie. Whatever suits you best

Nanny or nan....my mum was little nanny...because she had shrunk
