What do your grandkids call you?

Nini and Grampy

I’m Granny and the other GM is GrannyName. My daughter once told her son (aged about 6 at the time) that Granny was coming to visit and he asked her if it was GrannyName or Granny With the Rules. ??

His response on being told it was the latter (me) was to punch the air and say “Yessss”! ?

Oma as we were living in Germany at the time and everyone congratulating us said we were now Oma and Opa..so it stuck!

Nanna or Nanny depending on which child is speaking to me! DH ranges from Grampy to Grumpy to Paw! GGS calls us Nanna/Grampy and then first names. FIL is Opa to two and just first name to the rest.

Nan, or another version of it, just for silliness' sake.

As we were still living in France when our two DGDs were born, the obvious choice was Grandmère and Grandpère.

Nanny and Nandad

Gransey! My DDIL saw it on Mumsnet and chose it as she went into labour with my first grandchild. Almost 6 years and 2 further grandchildren later I’m still happy with it, just a bit different.

I’m Granny. When they were small they couldn’t say it and I was Raggy ( still have a mug with this on!) Now they can pronounce better I am Granny but used to rather like Raggy

My daughters MIL was much older than me. When the children were small they didn’t see her often so they called her “ other one Granny” as I was the one they saw the most. ( her choice she wasn’t very interested in them)

I am Nanny; DH was Grandad. I said to my GS, now 15, a couple of years ago “Do you think you’d like to shorten it to Nan now you’re getting a bit older?” “Ooh no”, says he “you’ll always be Nanny!”

No prizes for guessing that before my first name could be pronounced I was Nanna Garra. (Both GMs are nannas; when a distinction has to be made our first names are tacked on.)
OH is Granddad; the other nanna is married to Grandpa.

Some of my GC have lived abroad so they call DH grandpaw and me grandmaw we sound like the Waltons when we are out. They use their other grandparent's Christian names after grandpaw so I presume they use ours. I have heard the odd Old bat and teacher, teacher when making my GS be good. Our English GD calls us granddad and grandma.
Where DH lived grandparents were mud and fad .Thank goodness we missed that one.

The French use Mamie but I felt uncomfortable with that so ended up with Nannie. There are 2 Mamies on the other side anyhow

Grandma, but DH is called “Das” by GS and “granddad” by GDs (different family).
My parents on the other hand were George and Bobbine (a corruption of Pauline) but called simply “Bob” by my children.

My DGSs other grandparents are called Gogo and Obie. A sort of Afrikaans/African nomenclature.

Nana and Granddad to our six grandchildren, but NanaPat to the children at the local village primary school where I volunteered.

Normally my 2 and half year old grandson
calls me " nana look or nana can I have"

Granma and Grampa

To the youngest pair I'm granny (surname) because their other DGM and I share a first name.
To the older ones I'm granny first name.
My DS1 has started to call me by my first name. Maybe he thinks we are too old for mummy. I answer to most things.

I used to be Gangar, but it’s progressed to Grandma now. One of the Pre-school staff was Eastern European and told DGS1 that (I) his Granny was here for him. I was then Granny in a ridiculous ‘Russian’ accent for a week!

Gami. DGD’s choice.

Nanny P

I am Gran to two, Grandma my other granson.
Gan when they were learning to talk
Other grandmother lives in London and is called Nanny followed by her first name.

I am Gran through choice, given the option by my daughter.
I come from a long. line of Scottish Grans, so to me it would be strange to be called anything other than Gran

However both myself and my 'local to me 'grandsons, have had to get used to others, such as teachers and friends referring to me me Nan or Nanny, which are both common to this area.

We're a Mamar and Grandad too HowVeryDareYou (though I spell it with just the one m in the middle). It's what I called my mum's mum and I wanted to pass the tradition down. However, my NZ grandchildren call their mum "Mama" which sounds very similar in their accents, so over there I'm Grandma.
