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 think what I meant is that when it's used outside of NI and Scotland, then it's generally seen as a posh title. But it's not a hard and fast rule.

Mum's mum is grandma. Dad's mum is nanny. I'm from Berkshire.

I had two granny’s and my mammy is called granny by my nieces and nephews. We are all Irish

One was Grandma, the other was Nana.

Grandma here. My mother’s worst nightmare or insult would be to be a Nan.

My dad is very much Grandpa and never ever a Grandad.

All my friends parents are grandma and grandpa too apart from one or 2 Nanna and Papas

Grandma. We grew up in the Midlands.

I now live in West Midlands. My DC have Grandma (my mum) and Nanny (DH's mum)

Both grandmothers were Grandma Surname,one was originally from Newcastle and the other London.My paternal grandmother (London) lived with us and,if we weren't trying to distinguish one from the other outside the family,we called her Gran.
One grandfather was Grandpa,and the other was Grandad - my Dad chose to be Grandad but both mine and DHs mothers were also Grandmas.Which now makes intergenerational conversations a bit confusing.....

NW England. My mum's mum was grandma and dads mum was gran/granny. Think I am unusual as most other people where I'm from say Nan.

I had a granny and a nanny. I'm SE England/Home Counties. My posher friends had grannies, my less posh ones generally had nanas.

Nan - West Midlands.

When I was a child, Nana/Nanny were seen as names used by very young children who couldn't yet manage to say Grandma/Granny. A school aged child would have considered it babyish to say Nana or Nanny. In my experience.

In my family we said Grandma. I never knew my grandfather, but my older cousins who did know him said Granddad. Other grandparents not in the picture.

London/SE.

Mine were my nain.

Home counties and Granny, but family is from Northern Ireland and husband's family from Scotland.

Granny, Scotland. If I'd ever called her Nanny she would have buried me.

I had two Grandmas. London area but with one parent from the North. My DM chose to be Grandma and DH's DM chose to be Nanny - she had grown up in the London area.

I am Scottish with Scottish parents and grandparents all living/lived in Scotland.
Gran and Granny for us.
Granny was most definitely not a posh choice here.

My gran was the younger of the two by quite some years so 'granny' always felt like 'wee old granny' as my granny was wee and very old fashioned. My gran in comparison, was much younger and modern.

But I quite like the idea of being a granny though and reclaiming it as the cool young granny I will obviously be

Dads parents were Nanna and Ganga,mums parents were Yia yia and Bapoo. My kids have Yia yia 2 x Bapoo and a Pop Pop

Nan - North East was Nanny when I was little

Nanny/Nan - from London

Paternal grandmother is “Nan” or “Nana” (East of England)
Maternal grandmother is “Babcia” (Polish)

Nan/nanny. East London.

My nan is still alive so the dc call them nanny firstname to differentiate

For me it was:
Mum's mum - Granny
Dad's mum - Grandma

Dd uses:
My mum - Granny
Husband's mum - Nanny

(South West)

my grandparents are all dead but called them Granny and Grandad both sets(west Midlands) my DD calls my parents Grandma and Grandpa we live in Scotland, her other grandparents are dead but she called Dh's mum Granny

I only had one, she was Grandma. We lived in Shropshire but both my parents' families were originally from elsewhere.

I had Nanna Dad's-Surname and Nanna Mum's-Maiden-Name (northwest).

Future DCs will have Nanna (my mother) and Savta (DP's mother - Hebrew) or maybe Bubby, depending on what she prefers!
