Reading the article on here about grandparents names I wonder if anyone else has odd names given by the child that stuck! My GD spoke early, it was intended I’d be Grandma and her other GM Nanny. But GD decided to call me Munka. I have no idea why or how she came to it! But Munka I am! I like it because it’s her name choice! She knows I’m GM My other half, not biologically related to her has surname Rabbett and she chose to call him Grampy Rabbit (Peppa Pig to blame there!) he likes that too! The other GPs are Nanny and Gan Gan!
In our family grandparents are always called by their first name. Don’t ask me why. Everyone seems to like it, it’s just our norm. If I’m ever a grandmother I’ll be called by my first name too so long as the child is happy otherwise they can call me with they want.
Nannie unless I am with their other nannie and grandad. Then we become nannie followed by our name . They only have one grandad but even thought my husband died 21 years ago they know about him as my daughter tells them about her daddy . And I talk about him. My daughters eldest even knows the name of my parents and my grandparents. The younger one when he is older. Both love funny stories about their grandad .
