I'm Mamar to one family (as my gran was to me), but Grandma to another as they call their mum Mama and it's too similar.

When my Mum was still alive, she was Grandma so I became Grandmum. After her death, I became Grandma.

I'm Gran. Latest in a long line of Grans.

If you would like to be Nana, then just add Belle to it.

In my large extended family they’re all Nanna A, Nanna B or grandma. Even the grandfathers get called grandma by some of the little ones ?

I suggested I would be happy to be called Nana
