What do you call your grandmother?

[JoanThursday1972]

I'm using the 'correct' term there, which I don't use, but the reason for asking this is I have heard of her being called "mamar" (not sure of spelling) and I've never heard it. Is it a regional thing?

Nanny/Nana/Nan

Grandma.
My kids call theirs Nanny .Nanny chose that

Haven't had one since I was 9, but they were Gran and Nana.

My mum was grandma.

My dd has a nanna.

My ILs will be Nana and Nani.

Grandma

Grandma

(My SIL is pregnant).

I think nanny is a more northern thing. It sounds like the job to my ears. My children call my mum Grandma but recently due to text speak it's devolved to Gma (gee ma).

I no longer have either of my lovely GMs but it was always Granny ❤️

Oma (Dutch)
Gamma or Grandma, depending on how schmoozy I was feeling. Gamma later became her name for her great-grandchildren to call her.

They've been gone 36 and 24 years but they were Nainie and Grandma.

Grandma.

My mother told me using the term Nan or Nanny was common.

A nanny is someone you employ to look after your children.

Grandma

Dead, mercifully.

I'll leave it to your imagination regards what the spiteful old hag was called while she was still alive.

Grandma. She's been dead 25 years now.

Nan, when she was alive.

East Anglia are we counting that as 'Northern' now? I'm never sure.

I am mid 50s, both my late Grandmother's were known as Granny, or Gran. My DD called my DM and DMil Grandma. I always hated the term Nan, but in later years if I was talking to someone about my Gran I would say my Nan, as other people used to think Gran was weird. For added info my parents and grandparents were from the Caribbean, so it may all be cultural.

Nain for my Welsh one and Mimi for my Irish one

Both passed away, they'd be a hundred and odd now.

I'm GrandMumsie and himself is Grandpopsie we are a very blended family so quite a few grandparents for little Zach in our family so we let what ever happened happen when it came to names

I only ever knew one of mine, I called her Gran, she was a wonderful woman, died in 1996.

Nanny when a child, nan now.

Sadly both are long gone, but they were Grandma (first name).

Nanny and I’m 31 it seems wrong to say Nan and she insisted that Grandma made her feel old

Mine was Granny. My mum was Granny. I’m Granny too.

My mum is dead but she had a loathing of ‘nan or nanny’ as she thought that belonged only on a goat. So she was grandma. Mil is also grandma.

I called both of mine granny.
