when my kids were born we called the 2 sets ... nanny dog and noisy grandad (they had a dog and he is very loud!) and nanny cat and wheely grandad (cat and wheelchair!) nowadays they are nanny (sometimes nanny-no-dog) and grandad, and my mum is still nanny cat even though her cat is gone. their great grandad is grandad wiggle cos his party piece is ear-wiggling!

I always thought we would be called Nana and Grandad but I didn't want to be Nana Cowell and other Nana wanted to be Nana so i said I would like Grandma little Joe when he started to talk called OH Grangles. We don't know where it came from but it has stuck. Germaine x

All mine, including the 18 year old call me Nana. Ann Glos

Just remembered that my brothers' kids call my dad Pops. I find that very strange as my children and grandchildren call him granddad. Don't know where that came from! Aileen xxx

Mine call myself and my O.H Nanna and Pops....and SIL parents Grandma and Grandpa (their choice)...They are more posh than us lol Linda

My grandchildren call me Grandma and the young ones call my husband Poppy and the older ones call him Grandad. Sylvia XX

Im called Nanny Jax and the OH is grumpy, his choice lol some of her g grandparents are still alive and all of the women are nannies so we are nanny and our first name. Jackie:o)

Nannals as both grandparents first names are Carol one is Nanny Carol and I am Nannals.

We're nanny and granddad tortoise and the other grandparents are nanny and granddad fish. Hysterical. You can have fish as a surname but tortoise. Causes a laugh when it gets yelled at you across a crowded shop! They call their great grandparents nanny and grandad followed by their surname. Aileen xxx

O.H. and I are Grandad and Granmum to our grandson. My in laws are known as More Gran and More Grandad. Gwyn

When I was little I had two sets of grandaparents and two great grandmothers Paternal grandparents known as Nanny Jin and Grandad Greg. Maternal grandprtents known as Nan and Grandad Cowley. Paternal gr. grandmother - Nanny Dickinson. Maternal gr. grandmother Grandma Irons. I was widowed and remarried. My sons call my mum Nanny Greg and their Dads Mum Nanny Lil. My daughter (2nd husband's child) calls my mum the same, my sons mum the same but calls her dads parents Nain and Taid because she was brought up in Wales. Complicated lot aren't we !! Libby xx

Because I have been a Nanny to other peoples children, I wanted to be called Granny. My Mother i(Letty) is Gran to my children & Granny Lettuce to my Grandchildren. ( My Eldest Grandson thought this was her name, & it just stuck!)

Congratulations! We are called Mimi and Bigpop. On a recent visit to the UK (we are in the US) our soon-to be-3-year-old grandaughter insisted on saying 'Pigbop' which might just stick, as everyone (including Pigbop himself) thinks it's so cute to hear her little girl voice saying it. Not to be recommended for everyone though! :-)
