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?

Granny. My mum is from NI. Dh's mum is nanny and I always find I have to clarify she is nanny nit the nanny when I'm talking about her.

Granny - live in Cornwall but family from Kent.

DH calls her Grandma - they were from Yorkshire.

Grandma Firstname and Grandma Firstname
South England

Mum's Mum was Nan and her Dad was Grandad (Both London)
Dad's Mum was Granny and his Dad was Grandad (N Irish Granny & Irish Grandad)

My Mum was Nana to my DD and my stepdad Grandad. Since my mum died and stepdad remarried, his wife is Nana and stepdad is now Grandad . My Dad is Granda, DH's Mum is Granny and his stepdad is Grandpa, his dad is Grandad.

I forgot to say I'm a Londoner, So Gran, Granny and Grandma are quiite normal here. When I was tiny I said, "Gandan" and "Gan Gan". I've also heard "Ganna" which I think is sweet from tiny kids.

Forgot to say we moved from London to Cheshire area hence why my mum wanted to be called Nana. Stepdad's wife is from NW where most are called Nana.

DH's parents are originally midlands but his mum decided on Granny because his stepdad (Lancastrian), wanted to be called Grandpa and she thought nothing else sounded right with it.

I called both of my grandmothers Nanny and my great grandmother was known as Nana. To my grandchildren, I am known as Granny.

Nanny - from greater London. My great grandmother was granny.

Gran/ny, Nanny, Nana all in use here in Kent. All family are from Kent or North London.

All parties are dead, but Dad's mum was Grandma Surname (she married several times). Mums mum was Nanna.

My mums mum is nana, my dads mum was gran and my dads gran was Granny. I'm in central Scotland.

Nanny/Nan & Grandad - I am actually surprised how uncommon this seems as I've always just assumed that's what most people call their grandparents!

I called my mother's mother 'granny' or 'grandma'. DD called my mother and MIL granny. My mothers family is lancs, MIL was Somerset originally, then Gloucester.

I grew up in Essex, my friends mostly had Nans. I think DH had a 'nanny' who came from London.
