Grandmother names?

Personally, I was proud to become a Granny.

I was so happy to be Gran.

I'd have loved to have been called grandma, gran, granny, or nanna. If you have a nik name, you could choose that.

Granny Becky sounds fine congratulations. I imagine it is quite lovely being a young Gran

I am Nana to my six. Love hearing them say 'nana'.

I was a Nana now they are all older I m a Nan
Happy with that title what ever age I am

My mother’s name was Pauline but she asked to be called “Bobbine” by her grandchildren…. My DH is called “Das” by DGS, his own invention, the other grandfather is “Harrydas”! Your choice.

I'm Granny which is more common in Scotland, but now they are all older, they generally call me 'Gran'. My opposite number, in N Ireland, is Granny E and I am Granny A.

I just wanted to be known by my First name... My Dad was always known to the Grandchildren by his, even me and my sister called him by that, more than Dad.
But my kids weren't having any of it so I'm a Nanny to my daughters son and Nana to my sons girls.

Regardless of a given name/title they are all a beautiful gift.
Enjoy your new baby.

I decided to be Nini as I’m Welsh. DH is Grampy but youngest grandson calls him Gampy which has stuck as it’s so cute ☺️

Our first dgc christened us Ma and Pa. We love it.

I didn't start my parenting journey till mid 20s so hoping the same again but I would like to be nanny

I’m granny and I love it. Go with a pet name if you have one.

I used to love picking my GC up from school and people thinking I was their mum, you will have a lovely relationship being so young. They will probably come up with some strange alternatives when they start speaking so go along with what they choose.

Mine called me Nanny when they were young then the older ones call me Grandma but now the little Grt Grands call me Gaga. I don’t mind what they call me. Choose your favourite.

I thought I was going to be granny, but my DGS had different ideas. Gaga it is. He's not wrong!

When I first became a grandmother, my own mother was still alive and was known as Grandma so for the rest of her life I was known as Grandmum.

What about ‘Nan Bex’ ?
Short and sweet. Congratulations by the way, and being a young Nan you will (hopefully) have bags of energy for your new grandchild.

It's really nothing to do with age methinks but do think long and hard about whatever you wish to be called as it's really a blank canvas out there. Mine is a little unusual but it warms my heart just to hear my GC say it.

The other grandmother asked me if I wanted to be Granny or Grandma, and I chose Grandma because I preferred my own Grandma to my Granny. I was not 40 like the OP, however. At 40 I still had primary school age children, and being a grandma was very far from my thoughts. I don’t know what name I would have chosen, perhaps something based on my first name?

I don’t like nanny and nana. A nanny is a nursemaid. I wasn’t aware of it meaning grandmother until I was grown up.

I’m grandma, my own choice. My mum was nanny so I wanted to be something different.

G-ma!

I’m grandma by choice too although I did wait to see what the other Gran wanted to be called. As she is quite traditional I thought she’d want Grandma but went for Nanna so it was grandma for me.
My Ds grans were called grandma followed by there Christian name.

Nobody asked me - but they all call me Nanny Hetty (as they have other nannys).
