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?

Gran/granny
Although one of them was English and insisted on me using Nana for the Scottish one, but I never gave in lol

Both were grandma then their name. So grandma Sophie for example. North East.

Me - granny - south east
DH - gran - north west

Nana and grandad - Irish Father's side
Granny and granfad- Liverpool mother's side

My mum and dp's mum are both nana first name (to avoid confusion) and my dad is grandad to my dc. (dp's estranged father died before dc was born)

My granny was half Welsh though so that might have some bearing. Most people in Liverpool seem to have a nan or a nanny

Gran and Grandma. I'm Scottish and I'd never heard of Nan, Nanny or Nana being used as a name for granmother until I moved down to England as an adult.

Nanny I'm from Northern Ireland

My grandparents are granny and granda, I’m English with NI parents.
My mum and MIL both go by grandma.
My dc still have all 4 great grandmothers alive and they are known as granny, granny B, grandma and gran respectively.

Nanny and Grandad - West Midlands

Me: Grandma - only had a maternal grandma - South East
DH: Grandma - again only had a maternal grandma - North East

The DC: Grandma Jocasta (mine), Grandma Jill (DH's). DH's father was Grandad; mine Opa (obvs names changed)

Mamgu - she was Welsh.

We call DH's mum Granny. My mum died before I had DCs so don't know what she would have been - definitely not Nanny or Nanna, I've never been a fan! Mine were Grandma and Gran. We have Grandad and Grandad as well! 😁 I live in SE England.

Scottish upbringing.

Grandma from early childhood. Moved to Gran (paternal grandmother who was from Dorset) and Granny (Edinburgh born one).

Any variant of the Nana/Nan/Nanny names was forbidden by my stays conscious Mother.

Grandpa on both sides. Maternal died young. Paternal only died last year. By the time I was a young teen he had transformed into Gramps and kept that for 30 odd years. Even his wife (Gran not Granny!) would sign cards from Gran & Gramps.

Nan and Nanny, I grew up in the South West.

But my son uses Nana and Nanny for his grandmothers

East London family- both were Nanny

A bitch.
North west.

In our family we have had:
Nannan, Nana, Gran & Grandma
DH's family Nanny/Nan
Nottinghamshire

Grandma and grandad. South Wales.

Mine were both Granny, one Scottish, one Welsh.

Nanny . Home Counties

Scottish one was Granny and Welsh one was Nain. I grew up in Scotland.

Grandma
I’m originally from the South West, spent half of my childhood and the bulk of my adulthood in South East, now in East Mids.

My Grandparents on both sides were Grandma and Grandad. My mum in particular thinks anything else is common .

Granny. Central Scotland.

I didn't know mum's mum, dad's Mum was grandma (south east England), stepdad's Mum was Nana (Yorkshire), stepmum's Mum Nan (south east). No idea how these things were decided, I think all cousins called them all the same thing? My mum is Nana (London) to my son.
