what do you call your parent's mother ?

[BrizzleMint]

I was doing that dialect quiz and selected Granny which apparently is nearly unique to Scotland and (mainly Northern) Ireland.

I'm from the south west.

What do you call your parent's mother and roughly where are you from?

I had 2 grannies. Both were Scottish, but I grew up in London. Nritht of them lived I. Scotland though.

DH has 2 grandmas - one in Cheshire, on in Yorkshire.

My Yorkshire born and bred children have a granny (my mum) and a grandma (dh’s mum).

Mums mum Nanny
Dads mum Granny
My mum by dds Nanny
Northern Ireland with Dads side of the family Scottish

Grandma, South West.

I had a granny and a nanny and am from North Wales. A friend's children have a granny and are from South West England.

Granny - I’m from the midlands but have Irish parents.

Nan - midlands but parents from S. London. I'd have thought of Granny as posh.

I had a Nain, North Wales. My children have a Granny, that’s South East England.

When we were little (in London) both were called Nanny Surname (!) and then Nan as we got older. My kids say Nanny First Name when talking about them but just Nanny/Nan when talking to them.

Nana and grandad - Dublin

I'm Grandma, dgd's other grandma is Babcia. My Dad is Great-Grandad. Dgd's grandfathers are deceased, they were Grandad Joe and Grandad Reg. Her stepgrandfather is either Bill or Grandad Bill.
My daughter called her grandmas Grandma Anne and Grandma Linda. She called her great grandmother Grandma Smith, and referred to her great grandparents as 'Smiths'. Which amused me.
My Grandma was Grandma officially but Gran or Granny quite often (north west UK). 'Nana' or 'Nanny' were frowned upon.
Grandads were just grandad. Names have, of course, been changed.

Granny. I'm from Scotland but my parents aren't.

Nanny but heard plenty of ‘granny’s

I guns it very difficult to believe that Granny is mostly found in Scotland. It's everywhere as far as I can tell from scattered relations and friends etc. It's a class title too. Posher people go with Granny, others for Nan or Nanny.

ourkid I’m far from posh and used Granny. Same for lots of not-posh children I’ve taught over the years. I agree it’s not just Scotland and Northern Ireland though.

She was Danish!

Grandma. (Actually GranDma, not pronounced Granma).

Dunno where to say I am from, actually, Forces family and have moved around a lot... mostly south west England, though...

Dad's mum - Grandma, Mum's mum - Granny. Midlands.

I don't think granny is Scottish at all. It is used all over the UK, but I more closely associate it with Home Counties.

Gran or Granny. West of Scotland

Nanna followed by their surname, North Lncolnshire.

My dad’s mum was Granny and she was from Northern Ireland. My mums mum is Grandma & she is from Yorkshire.

Granny - as did lots of others in our area. From south east Kent

Gran.

It drives me nuts because all the big supermarkets almost exclusively sell 'Nan' cards and that's really not a Scottish thing.

I tweeted them about it before and they said they respond to buyers. Yes, but we only buy them because there's no choice!

Had 2 Nana’s - one London and the other Indian but called Nana/Nan by eldest grandchildren in India too.
