Naming the Grandparents

At the moment we've (Mum and I) been having an ongoing discussion about what our baby will call her grandparents when she arrives. She's due in April. Hubby's mum wants to be called Nana, which is fine and Im not sure about his dad, but my parents are at a loss as to what they want to be called, especially my mum. She definitely doesn't want to be nanny and isn't keen on Grandma or Gran, but other than that doesn't have a clue.

What do your kids call their grandparents? Do you have any ideas for grandparent names that are a little different? Our baby won't see much my parents much because they live in a different island to us, so we want to have something that she can associate them with from a young age.

My parents are Nana and Grandad, DH's parents are Gran and Poppa, and DH's Grandma is Grandma....

We have - Nana and Grandad M, Nan-nan and Grandad, Grandpa and Grandma, and Cambridge Grandma.

My Mum was so unprepared to be a "Grandmother" and was really unsure about what to be called. As soon as that baby came out (she happened to be there) she was an extremely proud Grandma, she named herself at the right time.

Your Mum will probably be the same.

My mum is known by her name, my Dad is Poppy. DH's parents are Nonna & Nonno, his grandmother is Bisnonna (to DD) or just Nonna to DH and I.

My mums old hairdresser was known as 'Bubbles' cause she loved her bubbly Always thought that was cute

My parents are Grandma and Grandy although Jack pronounces them MaaMaa and Da-dad. DH's parents are Nana and Poppa.

My DH's parents are Gran and Grandad, my parents are Grandma and Grandy (although my Mum really wanted to be called Grand-mamah )

When we had this discussion with my mum she was adament she was not going to be called grandma or nana as she said they reminded her of old people. Since DD was born the grandma title has been thrust upon her with no argument from her since. She loves her granddaughter to bits and sees her everyday and DD knows shes grandma.

We have grandma and granddad(my parents) and oma and opa (husbands parents) and my grandma is GG(great grandma)

Funny thing was PIL's wanted to be grandma and grandad but we ended up naming them oma and opa anyway. She hardly sees them even though they live 10mins away so to me it didnt matter what they were called. It wouldn't have been fair to have them called the same as DD wouldnt have recognised them as grandparents anyway

My parents are nana and grandad and DH's dad is Koro.
My niece calls her other grandmother by her first name (as does her mother) and that seems perfectly fine to me.

I call my grandparents mum and dad because my mum called them that so it's kinda stuck... Guess my bubs probably will too... Even though dp thinks it's 'wrong'

Dps grandma will be Grandma Nita (Nita being her first name) and his nana and poppa will probably remain nana and poppa

My mum has requested Grandma Page, because thats what she called her grandparents

My dad hasn't requested anything

Dp's parents want to be Nana Ana and Poppa Pete
