Hi all,
So, due to a few second marriages we have a couple of extra grandparents to name. What are the names everyone is using for grandparents? Anything other than: Grandma Grandpa Nana Poppa Gran / Granny. ??? Bx |

Heh, my dad requested "sir". Somehow, it hasn't stuck 
We have Nanny and Grandad (I loathe Nanny, but her choice, sigh), and Grandma and Grandpa. Not too original. I had friends growing up who had Nana Mary and Nana Jane etc to distinguish between their nanas if that could work? ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

We have a split up grandparents, but they are just Grandad & Susan*, Nana & Peter*. We aren't that close to the extras, obviously.
*names changed The other grandparents are Nan & Granda. I also know of a grandad called Chiefy, which I think is cute, and also a Nanma & Pappy. -------------
