What should Great Grandparents be called?

We're Nana and Papa, grandson's other grandparents are Granny and Granddad, husband's dad is called Granda, the name he was called by our children, he's been called it for best part of 40 years so it seems normal to continue it. I think we can be too formal cos of how it was in the old days, provided everyone has different name, one that we as individuals like, so children don't get confused I think that's all that matters.

I am Nanny and my mother is Nanny Dot or Nanny by the sea. (She lives in Hemsby).

My grandson knows my parents as Grandma and Grandpa

I am known as Grandma (first name) and my mum is also Grandma (first name). That keeps it simple for everyone.

My 4yr old grandson has always referred to my mum as Great Big Nanny, pronounced properly now, but used to be “ Greybinanny” When we were all together ( oh, those wonderful days! ) he would differentiate by calling me ‘ Tiny Nanny’ although I was just Nanny if on my own. As I’m 5’9” and hovering aroun 12 stone God I loved him for that!!!

I'm nana to my DGCs and to my GGCs my lovely husband was always called Pops by my ACs and grandchildren alike.

My grandchildren called my mother Nana Elizabeth and me just Nana. Although now grown up most if not all call me Nan. Now I have 8 greatgrandchildren I am Nana Daisy to them. Just decide what you want to be called and don't worry about anyone else.

My friends Great grandchildren call her G Gran
In the country where we live its simple the paternal grandmother is simply Farmor ie, Fathers Mother
On the maternal side it is Mormor ie. Mothers Mother nothing complicated

I am gran to my older Grandchildren. My daughter fosters and the foster children have always called me Grannie Annie, and this has continued with the great grandchildren and youngest grandchild. My husband is just Grandad Johnnie to everyone lol

You should be called what ever you want to be known as Millie58 what would you like to be called

What’s the relationship like between your child (the parents) and the Great Grandparents of the baby?

My grandkids call me little nanny if we are with my parents if not it's just nanny my partner is big willbob and my ex husband is grandad ,they call my parents big nanny and grandad grrr .

We are nanny and granddad to our grandchildren. My mum and dad are their nana and grandpa. When my children were young they had nanny and granddad and then there was great-nan and great-granddad.

Im called Granny, my mum is called Grandma, my son in laws mum is called Nana.

Prince George calls the Queen Gangan.

My late mother was called Grandnan by her Great grandchildren

My short answer would be "Very Old" but I expect I've been cooped up too long only one of my grandsons got to know his great grandmother and he just called her Great Granny.

My DC's great grandmother was called little nana because she was little.

I am Ama to my grandchildren and my Mum is called Grams, she is 93. My children call me Marge, my name is Jo. Names should evolve within families.

Doesn't one or more of the nordic languages have this fairly sussed? You are farmor or farfar (if you are the paternal grandparents) or mormor or morfar if the maternal. Then they tag on aeldre for the next generation or stor for the front. So, Swedish speakers, how do you distinguish at that level between potentially eight people?

Quite frankly I'd prefer to be called by my first name.

Great Granma/ Great Granpa is so uncontroversial and everyone should be happy

I only had one set of living great-grandparents when I was a child. We called them Opa and Oma (German for Grandpa and Grandma; they were of German abstraction), which is the same as what Mum and her siblings and cousins called them. Both sets of our grandparents were Grandma and Grandpa.

Until recently, my kid had a great-great-grandmother. (Seriously. This was my kid's maternal grandfather's maternal grandmother. She lived to be 103.) My kid just knew her as Granny.

My granddaughter only has one great grandparent (husband's mother) and she calls her Gran-nan

The relationship is more important than the names.
I concentrate on my relationship with my grandkids and let them choose what they want to call me.

Three of our grandchildren call their great-grandmother Nana Gran which I think is rather nice.
