Nanny or Nannie

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!

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

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?

Flipping predictive...relative

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.

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

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 ! !

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!

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

I am Grannie.

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.

Me too jordana or maybe a goat

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!"

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

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

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

Why not just Gran? No spelling worries there.

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

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

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

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

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