My eldest cousin (her oldest grandchild) called her that when he was little and it stuck.<br /><br />Her unusual name meant that she's never received mugs or any other 'world's greatest grandmother/nan' paraphernalia, but I think she's ok with that.Emmahttp://knit.pransell.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6590689044094137272.post-7801871159311299292011-06-17T18:33:19.339+10:002011-06-17T18:33:19.339+10:00My paternal grandmother was Nana, but I didn't...My paternal grandmother was Nana, but I didn't see much of her growing up as she was in England.<br /><br />I was the youngest grandchild and I dubbed my maternal grandparents "Grandgirl" and "Grandboy", much to their delight apparently.

Marc's mum is inevitably Nonna - the only choice with her being Italian I guess - and my maternal grandmother was Marnie, because that's how the first of the cousins said grandma and the rest of us just followed suit. [ never knew my other grandmother,Grandma Batt but that is how she was always referred to ]<br />My poor maternal grandfather got a different name from each set of Grandkids, so he was Grampie to us, and variously Pop, Poppie, Gramps to the others.catsmumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01953101594940806384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6590689044094137272.post-27800924077318092162011-06-15T19:53:41.774+10:002011-06-15T19:53:41.774+10:00I'm thinking along the lines of grumpy/ sleep...I'm thinking along the lines of grumpy/ sleepy, but prob will settle for yes maam!Mrs Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03109885833512528798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6590689044094137272.post-68056242467085663112011-06-15T15:38:22.741+10:002011-06-15T15:38:22.741+10:00My mum is Nana, as was her mum.

My Dad's mum was Dabby, for reasons unknown to me (I think the first grandchild coined it) although to some of her grandchildren she was known as Ma, which is also what her own children called her. My MIL is Grandma, Ga or Gargy, depending in who you ask!<br /><br />I really like Oma, I sort of wish I had german background so I could use it if the time ever comes!Rose Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08510204661811765499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6590689044094137272.post-91874429597621808182011-06-15T15:18:41.431+10:002011-06-15T15:18:41.431+10:00I didn't know either of mine.

I didn't like nanna as it reminded me of hired help, not family.<br /><br />My own mother who started out as a grandma, morphed into Moo, courtesy of my niece and was finally widely known as Moo and given cow jugs and cards etc. She didn't mind, but my Dad refused anything except grandfather in full. Was most offended when one of my sons, then very small, called him Grandduffer.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04324917828815299886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6590689044094137272.post-7337827100880001442011-06-15T09:21:55.507+10:002011-06-15T09:21:55.507+10:00I called both of my grandmothers Grandma and most ...I called both of my grandmothers Grandma and most of the time my two grandchildren call me Grandma but when they are feeling very affectionate, they call "Granny!" and I like that, too!Delighted Handshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01289187765260532813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6590689044094137272.post-38707021849645082332011-06-15T08:51:15.619+10:002011-06-15T08:51:15.619+10:00Not a coincidence!!!!
