Heirofthedog Welcome to GN.
I assume you mean the grandmotherly title. DDs MiL was already "Grandma" so I chose to be Nanan.

Hello, this is my first time on forums.
So please let me know if I'm doing anything wrong! I'm already a granny but my nickname for on here is stripeyface because my youngest grandson calls my wrinkles 'stripes'. He's 4.

Welcome Heirofthedog and stripeyface. I love your names! Wish I had thought of something more original.

I've been NanJan to all my grandchildren and think it's great.

Hello stripeyface, welcome to GN. The combination of your name and heirofthedog has made me think of a little stray dog we befriended in Majorca which some idiot had painted white stripes on. We called him Stripey and fed him every day smile

My daughter always called my grandmother Greatie and she loved it as a new title!

Nobody takes notice of me either! Shoe shop this week, chose a shoe I would like to try, hung about looking for help, manager ignored me, meanwhile DH was looking at mens shoes. Still trying to catch eye of assistant, no luck. Joined by husband (6ft tall), and suddenly got attention! Anyone else found that we become invisible after a certain age?

Just joined and looking forward to joining in some lively chat, by the way I am Grandma because my mum was Granny at the time. My daughter asked me what I wanted to be called.
