Mim??

[Linzi01]

Hi I was just wanting others opinions really... I am 15 weeks pregnant and my mother in law has already decided she wants the baby to call her mim! I have never heard of this n feel it sounds too much like mum! She is quite inteferring anyway tbh so i wouldn't b surprised if she had said mum lol! She has firmly dismissed all traditional names. I am thinking of tellin her i feel really uncomfortable with it but aibu??

Mim made me think of quim

FIL was convinced all the grandchildren would call him Bardie (shortened version of part of his name). They all call him Grampsie as started by GC1 10 years ago and Bardie has never surfaced.

They all do what they want regardless.

My dsis has a really pretentious mil - insists on Yaya - apparently she has a Spanish 3rd cousin twice removed so thinks that makes her Spanish!
silly moo

Mim is a bit shite, it isnt even short for anything is it?

let her have a shite name if she wants, jsut prefix it with nanny or granny when you refer to her

My DGD has 3 sets of Grand Parents, all the GFs are called Grandad (I think) but the GMs are known as Nannar, Grandma and Granny. We all chose what we would like to be called (I am Granny, as this is what I called my GM). I have no doubt we will all be called whatever my DGD wants to call us.

I would start off by calling her GrandMim... which almost certainly will end up shortened to something like "Grim"

My grandad was always called by the name my dsis, his first dgc said. All the dgc from her down to my youngest one, 22 years younger than her did.

My dc have a great grandmother who when we asked what she wanted to be called said "Great " It's since been abreviated to "G'" and we all love it. Our dc's youngest aunt didn't want to be called Great Aunt, so she abreviates it to "Gah"-short for "Great Aunt Hazel", like the Fossil children in Ballet shoes.

So if your mil doesn't want a "granny" name, then I'm sure you can find something that isn't too close to Mummy.
