What's in a name?

What name does your Grandchildren call you?

For those of you without Grandchildren, what names did you call your own grandparents?

Re: What's in a name?

Both of my grandmothers had passed away before I was born but my grandfather lived with us until his death, he was granddad.

I don't have grandchildren but my daughter called my mother nanny.

Re: What's in a name?

Vaguely remember my Dad's parents, didn't see them very often-learnt later on in life that when we did go to visit we were never allowed to speak-a case of 'a child should be seen and never heard'!

Remember my mum's parents well and they were Grandma and Grandad....

Re: What's in a name?

Only knew my maternal Grandma and Grandpa, paternal Grandfather had passed before I was born, and I never visited my paternal Grandma till I was in my teens. Mom didn't get along with that side of the family.

Re: What's in a name?

I never knew my Grand parents as they had died before I was born.
Our grand daughter calls us Grandma and granddad when she is not in her 'Teenage' mood, I dont know what she calls us then.
