What do your grandchildren call you?

Some lovely posts.
I’m Oma and DH is Opa to our darling grandchildren who live in Germany. Their German GP’s are Omi and Opi.
My other lovely grandchildren call us Pops and Popsie. We love it ?

Following on the steps of my mother, I chose a name with letters from my first name as identity for my two grandsons and young cousins. I am French though living in England for the last 45 years!). I also asked my husband to choose an equivalent. We are Nina and Teddy and it works splendidly. I am one of this person who tends to avoid the word 'old' as I prefer 'less young' and I truly believe that there is a lot of meaning in one's name for own self and the others. It fits.

I have always wanted grandchildren and I am very proud to be called Granny. My husband chose to be called Grandfather and they all managed to get their tongues around it when small and it just is natural to them as they get older.
the grandfather for two of my grandchildren is known as Grandpa. The grandfather for the other two was known as Grampy and sometimes as Grumpy, but he was a lovely man.

Unsurprisingly I'm Gramma & DH is Graffa. I don't know where that came from, it was his idea but we like it & so do the grandsons, although with them it was " Waffa" when they were learning to talk!

I’m Nanma, the fist grandchilds attempt when he started speaking 11 years ago now,so as the next eight have arrived, Nanma it is! Husband is Grandad.

I hated the idea of being called Gran, Nan or any variants. Probably because I had no relationship at all with my Gran and a distant one with my Nanna. I felt a little self conscious but did some research into names for grandparents in other countries and chose Amma, which all my grandchildren call me. I'm glad I chose something I feel comfortable with rather than just conforming to tradition. Though there's nothing wrong with that if it works for you.

Definitely Granny ( like the Queen)!

Nanna or nanny and grandpa ?

I have one grandchild, and she calls me Nanna. OH is Granddad. Her other grandmother, who died last year, was Grandma. Her other grandfather died before she was born.

We’ve had Lally, Grandma, Grandpa, Grandad, Granny, GGs and Baba in our family. All deeply loved and the names seemed to fit the people concerned.

To my Granddaughters I’m Granny, my Mum is Great Grandma, dil’s mum is Nanny and my ex husbands wife is Grandma, ex husband doesn’t get any kind of Granddad title tho as not really on the scene but his wife and kids are part of our family.

When my DD announced she was pregnant her MIL said she wanted to be Grandma (FIL wanted to be Grandad). My DD asked if I minded and I told her the truth, I wasn't bothered at all. I preferred to be called Nanny - now usually shortened to Nan or Nanna. When I had my children my lovely MIL already had five grandchildren and they all called her Granma (no d) - my Mum said she wanted to be called Gran and we ended up Gran Mary (my Mum) and Gran Eileen (MIL). Sadly my DH died some years before our GC arrived but he had a preference for Pops, which his GF was called.

I don't think Grandma is remotely f/d. That's what my Mum chose and a less f/d person I cannot possibly imagine.

I am Nanny and my DH is Pa. Nanny becomes Nan as they get older. Nanny/nan was what I called my grandmothers and I loved them to bits so happy to take that name. I'm definitely not a Grandma.

Aged 5-7 and living abroad, I used to write letters to my Grandma addressing her as: "Dear Grumphy". I honestly thought that was her correct title and no-one corrected me. It was only on my return that I realised that it was grandad's nickname for her - she was a formidable woman - and she was 'Grandma' from the on. I am 'Grandma' in her honour. Interestingly, Grandad was always 'Gaga' and my granddaughter spontaneously called DH 'Gaga' too....

I am called Aggie and my husband is called Gabba. These names were created by our eldest grandson - now a teenager- who when starting to form words got some letters the wrong way round. Hence instead of g r a n n y - the a came first Followed by the g g - these are now our names used by the rest of the grandchildren.

We are called Mam-mor and Bandan which is what our granddaughter called us when younger and she couldn’t say grandma & grandad.
We are childminders and the names have now stuck with us as we currently care for our grandson (her brother) and the other children have caught onto the names.

I'm called Gran . My husband is Grandpa to our eldest grandson, though our granddaughter and youngest grandson call him Gramps, because our granddaughter couldn't say grandpa! He's happy with either.

My husband and are are Tadcu and Mamgu, welsh. I'm immensely feeling honoured to be called it as I'm English, but hunky is Welsh. Children love it as for them its different.

We are Granny and Papa. I just love it when my grandson calls me Granny. Like some others we thought we would never be grandparents won't is a complete joy to us.

I am called Bubba which is the Yiddish name for grandma. It’s common in Jewish families to call both grandmas Bubba along with their first name.
My children spent a lot of time with my parents and always heard my father referred to by his first name by my mother so they followed suit. He loved it!

My ex mother in law who died three weeks after my grand daughter was born was Nonna as she was Italian . So I thought I’d be nana and started as that. But I now have morphed into Nonna and I love it as it keeps me feeling close to my lovely ex MIL and keeps a little Italian going through the family.

I’m Nannie.

I am Nan to 4 of my grandchildren - all in their 20s, but my other granddaughter also 20 still calls me Nanny and I love it.

Grandmothers in the Philippines are called Lola, sounds so glamorous! Not so for all the girls called Lola everywhere else!
