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?

Mine were both grandma when I was younger.

My mum is grandma and MIL is granny.

Dead

My MIL is 'mammar' to the grandchildren. It's a northern thing.

I’m northern and I never once heard it until I moved down south . Very common here (notts)

Nan , nanny , Gn ( fir great nan )

Mamma here - we are east Midlands!

Nanny. Midlands with all family from Essex

I hear Nannar a lot in Nottingham

I called mine "Your Grace"

Cow 🐄

I'm Grandma, wish I was Granny

Babcia for the Polish one, Granny for the Northern Irish one. Both now dead, both lived to great ages (102 and 98
respectively) and both, in their different ways, formidable personalities. In fact, when I was very small, I didn’t have a general concept of family relationships and didn’t realise that Babcia and Dziadzius, and Granny and Granda, were all my grandparents. 😂

My mum is Grandma to my kids, my MIL is Nannie.

Yes makes sense the person I know is from Nottingham.

I'm loving all the replies. My friend's mum lives in Cornwall and her son calls her mum Granny Seaside.

Gran and nanna.
My mother was a total snob and would only be called grandma, no variations.
Ds1 calls his nanna, I refused nanny on the principle that she wasn't a female goat. Although everyone else does use nanny

My mother always said 'Nanny' was for goats. So Granny it is.

Mine are both dead but I called them both Nanny.

We have Granny on both sides. Scottish heritage…

We called both ours Nan but nanny (surname)
my kids called my mums mum. Na-na
my dd couldn’t say grandad and so calls FIL rat rat and he calls her mouse mouse, she’s 10 now and they still say it 😍

Mine was nana my mum gets called Nannie , I’ve always called my grandad pops or grandy pops which no one else has ever heard of this haha x

South east... mine was Nan.

My beloved grandmother died on Wednesday. She was my absolute world and I called her ‘Dee’, as when I was a toddler I would imitate my grandad saying her name and that’s what came out. Love you so much Dee. Thank you for everything xxx

I had two Grandmas, also surprised at how many Granny's there are. My mum was a Granny and I could never find a card with that on for birthday/ Mother's Day. I was thinking of being a Nanny/ Nanna as I thought it would be more common but maybe I'll go with Granny despite the lack of cards for family tradition.

Didn't know one, but the other was Nana.

I called mine Grannie. My children have a Grandma and a Nana.

Nan

But my children call theirs Granny and Grandma

One of mine was Grandma. The other was a name made up my older sister when she was a toddler.

My children's grandmothers both wanted to be known as Granny so one was Granny-in-London and the other was Granny-in-Leeds (places changed).

They called my stepmother Granny Susan (name changed).
