What name.do you go by

I am Nonna,my children were born in Italy and I love being Nonna.

I’m Granny (first name), the other GM is Granny (first name) too.
I never liked any of the other grandmother names, but funnily enough when a very tiny Gdd would call me Nanny, because she couldn’t yet say the G-word, I found I liked it after all.

I’m grandma, but I have noticed the elder one sometimes refers to me as “gee ma” lately, presumably the letter g is what she means. I’m ignoring it in the hope it is just a phase ?.

Blimey, the thread’s been running over 2 hours and as yet nobody’s come out with the usual unoriginal guff about Nanna being a goat or the paid help. That’s a first!

Just add your name, as others have said, if Nana’s the term you prefer? Even though my opposite numbers are all known as Grandma, I’m Nanna Maggie and love it.

And congratulations, OP - it’s the best job in the world!

Congratulations! I had a Granny & a Mamgu - Welsh. I'm Gran & the other one is Granny. Don't know what the other is (2DDs)

DGD solved the Grand-dads problem by calling one Grandy - which he thinks is just grand. ?

See my username. Found by my DIL on Mumsnet just as she was going into labour, just a little different. Now used by all three DGC

Nana or nanny with my name attached.

Nana or nanny Lynn and Grandy.

Granny.

Grandma.

Our eldest daughter was the first to have a baby and, because she loved her grandpa so much, she deemed that we should be grandpa and grandma! DGS1 had other ideas and called us Ma and Pa. I love it as I didn't really want to be a grandma, granny or any variety of Nana.

I think a GP should be called exactly what they choose. My S&P were gracious enough to ask me just that. I gave the matter a great deal of thought and, bingo, we're all decidedly happy.

When my treasure calls me Nana it’s the sweetest sound in the world to me.

My children called my mum GanGan, shortened to Gan as they got older. Their Maltese grandmother was Nanna like every other grandmother in Malta.?

Nana & Grandad.
18 yr old DGS now calls me Nan.
Perfectly happy with both.

Nana, then as older teens Nan ... suits me

Grandma like my own grandmothers were called.
Grandma Jane if it’s necessary to distinguish me from my opposite number.

I'm Granny to our four and DH is Grandad.

Our two DC called us by our first names for some years until last summer, when DH was so ill ,and DS started referring to him as "Dad" and me as "Mum" and I really liked that and it has continued. DD still refers to us by our first names though unless speaking to her DC when it's Granny and Grandad.

As my name on here, I am Nanny Jan. When they were babies and toddlers it was Nanny Janny

Maggiemaybe, why is it it ‘unoriginal guff’ to say that nanny is the word for a paid nursemaid/help? It’s a fact. I never heard it used to mean grandmother until I was well grown up, and it still seems an odd usage to me.

I love being called Nan by all my grandchildren. Sometimes I get called Nannykins for fun, - even though they are all grown up now.

Granny name.

I`m Grandma and the g/children call their moms mom nan.
My step children call me nanny .

We are Granny and Grandpa.

My grandson with childhood apraxia of speech calls me Dandy, he can't get his tongue around the gr sound. He's having intensive speech therapy, and I will be a little sad when Dandy becomes Granny.

We are Grandma and Granda, we only have two GC and they are sisters so they both call us that.
Other GPs are Granny and an unusual name, so unique I can't write it as it would identify him.

I don't see why you find the usage of Nanny odd Grandma70s there are many variations on here and that is just one of them. I have always been Nanny and still am even though my grandchildren are in their twenties and thirties now.
