What do your grandkids call you?

Gran to eldest 32, Granny to middle 27, Bro to youngest 24,
Been Bro since she was 4

I’m still quite puzzled by the terms Nanny and Nana, because to me a nanny is a nurse.

Granny and Grampa

I thought my grandma's name was 'Grumphy' for years and wrote letters to her and darling 'Gaga' accordingly. She became 'Grandma' when we came back from Malta and I discovered 'Grumphy' was Gaga's nickname for her. We are Grandma and Grandad....although I suspect Grandad calls me 'Grumphy' behind my back....

i'm panny pat. my oldest grandaughter, now 21 couldn't say granny pat which was what i chose.
so i've been panny pat ever since to oldest, next, now 18, both my daughter's daughters.
and my son's two daughters, 10 and 8 (or it might be 11 and 9) both know me as panny pat too.

I’m Nanny to my two granddaughters, I have no contact with my three grandsons so have yet to be named by them. ( I live in hope!) My DS (45)and DD(47) called my mother GranGran and she is now Great GranGran to their children. I am known as TanTan by my nieces and nephews and their children. One of the older ones ( now 25) couldn’t say Aunt Anne so TanTan I became, the others just adopted it!

Where/ how do posters find these old posts 🤷‍♀️

Both sides of the family are Grandma and Granddad.

I loved the story about the little girl who was asked what her dad was called ( meaning his name ) and she just said it was dad . When asked what her mummy called him she replied that mummy did not call him anything because she liked him.

I’ve never understood the grandparents who claim to be “too young “ to be called grandma/grandpa . You are one aren’t you? 😂. Seems to be that you’re not too young then. My own mil tried that argument ages ago and her son just laughed and suggested she get used to it 😝

As for us the younger grands call me Grammy and the older two Grams quite a bit. But formally I’m just grandma. My husband is grandpa or papa interchangeably it seems, except our dear two year old granddaughter who persists in pronouncing it uppa! And it’s quite darling

My grandkids call me Nanoi. My oldest grandson changed my name from Nonnie to Nanoi. Did any of your grandkids call you that. I tried looking it up, but I couldn’t find any information. I just call it my special name.

I’m nanna my ex hubby is Grandad D and inlaw is gran and her husband is gets his name John and her ex hubby gets grandad c lol. Her husband did say he won’t mind if grandkids call him grandpa or something but her ex hubby said not blood no chance.

I’m in my 40s and refuse to be called Nan or Grandma. My first name is Jo so I’m Joma.
Partner is Greek so he is Papu. .

Nana and Grandad, often Nana Dog and Grandad Dog, because we often looked after/cared for/walked our daughter’s beautiful lab on many occasions. The last time we had her for six months before she flew out to join her family in New Zealand. I quite miss her.

Guess my user name says it all

Baggs

They call me by my first name just as everyone else does.

It used to be Branny, then GrannyFirstName, but we're a first name family. All my daughters call me by my first name too. And the grandkids call their parents by first names.

It doesn't make a scrap of difference to the relationships ?

Well said Baggs.
We all know who we are related to but all use first names too.
Why is this so often frowned on I wonder?

We are Nana and Papa. Little gd doesn’t say a lot of words yet but the lovely feeling I get when she says Nana cannot be measured.

I'm called Nanny by my 9yr old twin grandsons and their older brother, my step grandson, calls me by my first name.
My 1yr old granddaughter is at the babbling stage and just starting to say the odd recognisable word.

My husband died suddenly 3 months ago whilst my daughter and her baby were staying with us on an extended visit.
In an attempt to keep granddad's memory alive I would chat to the baby and point out granddad's chair, table etc.
Eventually, she could say her version of grandad which is "Nandad."

I dislike being referred to as a widow so I told baby I was granddad's wife.
Her version came out as "Nandad's Fuff."
I rather like being called Fuff but suspect I shall be called Nanny eventually.

Grandma. Both grandmothers are Grandma because when we were asked what we’d like to be called, that’s what we chose.

I'm Nanny Pee Pee....oh I hope this is no reference to incontinence pads......
.......and he is Gaga. We love it!

I'm a fairly standard NannyB. However DGD, who is half Korean and lives over there couldn't pronounce Halapeoji, the Korean for grandfather and called DH 'Edgy'. The name stuck and 8 years on he's still Edgy (though not all the time )

Nonna to mine?
