My ILs were already Nana and Grandad and I asked my parents what they wanted to be called. My sisters and Dad and his partner decided that he would also be Grandad, and his partner is refered to as "Auntie .........." (she's not that much older than me. Mum didn't make up her mind for a long time wanting Blair to choose, but I wanted a name to refer to her as. A neighbours children used to call her "Nanny Lyn" and so I adopted that for a bit thinking maybe when B was older it would be shortened to Nan. When we stayed recently he ended up calling out "Naan" (like the bread) and so Naan it has become.

My Nana has become Gran-Nan, and Dad's parents are Gran and Grandad to me, but I'm going to try and encourage B and bubs to call him Raro as it was my pet name for him when I was older.

Both of my sisters have decided that they don't want the "auntie" title, so Blair has some honorary aunts with the title]]> Thu, 19 Feb 2009 16:18:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24275&PID=618394&title=grandparents#618394 <![CDATA[Grandparents : My parents are nana and grandad DF&#039;s...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24275&PID=618243&title=grandparents#618243 Author: Shezamumof3

My parents are Nana and Grandad

Inlaws are Gran and Opa (he is dutch), my SIL and BIL call her Granny to pee her off. And my MIl didn't want to be Oma as she is not dutch and her children had an Oma and she didn't want to be reminded of her.

My nana is Great Nana or Little Nana as Andrew sometimes calls her, and her partner is Barrie as he is to all of us.

DH's grandma's name was Margaret, so they called her Grandmarg... so sort of a hybrid name but not too different sounding.

Thanks for everyone's thoughts. I was initially reluctant to let them choose as my mum wanted to create a new grandmother name altogether by combining part of her name +ma. I told her no and she basically backed out of any further discussion! Happily, my brother (whose partner is also expecting) backed me up and refused to consider the hybrid name too!

I thought I would get everyone's opinions and then present them all with some options.

So my parents have chosen Nan and Poppa and the in-laws will be Grandma and Grandpa.

Now, if my baby would just arrive...! We are 10 days overdue and getting very impatient to meet our little bundle of joy! ]]> Sun, 08 Feb 2009 12:59:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24275&PID=608674&title=grandparents#608674 <![CDATA[Grandparents : We asked them to choose what they&#039;d...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24275&PID=606871&title=grandparents#606871 Author: AzzaNZ

We let ours choose, ILs were already Nan and Grandad to SILs kids anyway.

My Dad will be Grandad as well. Double-ups don't bother me as I had 2 Grandad's growing up and never any confusion! Dad's wife will be called by her first name.

Mum is STILL undecided. She arrives here in 10 days though so she'd better decide soon. My stepbrother's wee boy couldn't say Lynnette so calls her Ninny Think it might stick! And Mum's partner will be Poppy coz thats what his grandkids call him.

Great Grandparents are Nana and Grandma on my side and Grandad and Grandma & Grandpa on DHs.]]> Wed, 04 Feb 2009 20:53:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24275&PID=606168&title=grandparents#606168 <![CDATA[Grandparents : We let the grandparents &#034;choose&#034;...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24275&PID=606124&title=grandparents#606124 Author: LittleBug

My mum is one of those parents who said they were too young to be a Nanna and Nanny reminded her of a goat lol... so she is Nan by her own choosing... Dad has been dead since I was 3, and mum never remarried so no issues with a step-grandparent in that regard..

his Dads parents are Nana Jill (she refused to be Nana T..... as thats her MIL LOL!) and Grandad...

DP's parents were Nana Griff and Poppy Griff (FIL is known as Griff at speedway as that is part of his last name, its even his personalised plate on the car hehe) but MIL passed away last month, so its just Poppy Griff now...

My best mate's (his godmother) parents are Nana and poppa with first names after their 'title'

this one will only have my mother, and DPs dad to call whatever, so I guess she will just call them the same as DS]]> Wed, 04 Feb 2009 19:52:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24275&PID=606058&title=grandparents#606058 <![CDATA[Grandparents : I call my grandad GD, that could...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24275&PID=605995&title=grandparents#605995 Author: Lanata

My Grandmother is Nana to everyone, that's how she introduces herself to people. I don't think anyone has called her by her name for decades.

My Mum was Nana dog as my mum breeds lot of dogs

My Dad is Poppa

Not sure what my Dad's new wife will be called, she's not really Nana but as my mum is dead, our kids wont know any different, anyone in this situation what did you do? My nieces call her by her name Viv, but I don't necessarily agree with kids calling adults by their names.

I had:

Ma and Pa (Dad's parents), and Mamar and Grand-dad (couldn't say Grandma...)

My sister's DD calls our parents (her material grandparents) by their nicknames for each other - Nulla and Bodgie - these are names they have had for each other for ever (before us kids were born) and they didn't want to be called 'old' names. It really suits them too. My sister's DH's parents are Nana and Pops.

and my DH's parents will be Sitti (Lebanese for grandma, probably not spelt like that!) and Grandad, which is what their other grandchildren call them too.

My parents have said that they want to be called Grandma and Grandpa which is fine by me.

Of my 3 MIL's (yes i'm lucky and have 3!!! haha) 2 want to be called Grandma too, I'm not sure about the 3rd though. I have a feeling it may be a little confusing for a while!!!! We may have to call them Grandma Jo etc

The great grandparents are Gran & Grandad and Nana & Whiskey.

ETA: My cousins Kid's call her dad Grumps which is quite cool too.

My mum is Nona (Italian for nana) because she didn't feel like a nana or a grandma.]]> Wed, 04 Feb 2009 07:06:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24275&PID=605221&title=grandparents#605221 <![CDATA[Grandparents : Nana (surname) Pop (surname) That...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24275&PID=605173&title=grandparents#605173 Author: ellen

Nana (surname)
Pop (surname)
That differentiates them from each side of the family.
My brother's kids called my mum Nana Pinecone for a long time which was so cute as she'd gone pinecone hunting with them when they were little and it stuck.
My mum is called Gran Gran by her great-grandchildren which I love the sound of.]]> Tue, 03 Feb 2009 21:58:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24275&PID=605173&title=grandparents#605173 <![CDATA[Grandparents : My Girls have 13 Grandparents...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24275&PID=605151&title=grandparents#605151 Author: Daizy

My Girls have 13 Grandparents (Great and GreatGreat in there as well)

I think there is only 1 double up.

We have

Poppa & Granna (my mum who felt to young to be a nana or grandma)

Nana & Grandpa (the InLaws)

Gran (Grandy) and Pop

Grandma & Grandad

Oma & Opa

and Nana & Warren (ok that last one doesnt really count)

Theres lots out there. Do the grandparents have their own preferences? ]]> Tue, 03 Feb 2009 21:41:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24275&PID=605151&title=grandparents#605151 <![CDATA[Grandparents : Hi, our baby is due any day now...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24275&PID=605136&title=grandparents#605136 Author: Marlow

Hi, our baby is due any day now and will have four grandparents and four great-grandparents. This is the first grandchild on both sides and I guess will set the precendent for our siblings' children.

I'm having some trouble coming up with names for all of them. Just wondering, what do your children call their grandparents?

All I can think of is Grandma/Grandpa and Nanna/Poppa. What are some other options?

thanks!
