Alternative grandmother names

[luckyladygal]

Due to become a grandmother in a few months and not sure what name I would like to be known as ? Tell me what your grandkids call you ?

My kids call my mum granny and MIL is grandma

Is granny/grandma just out?

We have a Nannan and a Granny here.

We have a nanna here

Mine were Gran and Granny.
when i asked my parents what they wanted to be they opted for Grandma and Grandpa. When i asked my inlaws (called, for example Clive and Maria) they looked confused and said “Clive and Maria”. So they are 😁

We had a GanGan in my family and an Oma (which is German or Dutch I think)

Mine are Granny Joan and Granny Doris

(Not their really names)

Grandma
Gran
Nainie/Nain
Nana

Mine have a nannan and a grandma
Nanny is quite a common one these days as well

I can not tell you what I called my Grandmother because it's one of a kind just like her and will out me without a doubt. However our children call my mother and my lovely MIL Nanny initial of first name.

Just not sure which name I prefer and looking for something a little different maybe ?

We just have a form of our names like
" Kazzer " ( not real name ) . Think that gran and grandad and similar are so out of date now .

I'm a Nonna, it's Italian for grandmother

I have a friend who's parents are Pops & Poppy.

His dad wanted to be Pops as that was traditional in his family, but his mum absolutely didn't want to be Granny.

Nanny - my mum
Nana - MIL
Grandad - my dad
Abuela (Spanish for grandmother) - dad’s wife (they live in Spain)

Mam Gu (south Wales - although my children threaten that I will be Mongoose or Mango) and Popsicle.

Nonna is Italian for grandmother
Yia Yia is Greek. Pronounced ya ya I think.

Oma, MiMi, and Tutu are all ones I've recently heard. In the US it's popular to call your grandma what "grandma" is the language of their original heritage so you hear all sorts of grandma names.

We've got a mash-up of 'gran' and their actual name e.g. if their name was Bob, they'd be called Granbob.

I am nanny it’s what I called my grandmother and what my children called theirs.

My Dgd (17 years old) has always called me Nana.

Mimi is very popular here in the American south.

Are you particularly glamorous because I’ve heard Glam-ma used!
I called my grandmothers Gran and Nana
My mum is Granny
My MIL was Nana
My aunt goes by Nanny for her granddaughter and grandad is Pops.
I’ve also heard Lolly and Pop used - lollipop! I like that.

Babcia (husbands mum)
Oma (Fil's mum)
