when daughter was little she started callin dad gang, it stuck she now says hi gang, and her fella has started callin him it too now,

My grandaughter in Norway calls me Nanny, but if I was living there I would be called Famor (fathers mother) once when I was over there and introduced to her teacher, she thought I was a nanny who looked after children. Momar (mothers mother) Mofar (mothers father) and Fafar (fathers father) Jennifer X

Well my parents are Nannie & Poppa and great grandmothers are Great Nan no stairs ( lives in a bungalow, lol) & Great Nan Cuckoo ( as in her cuckoo clock, not because she is, lol)

My niece calls my parents Granda and Gran and my mum's parents 'Baldy Granda and Baldy Gran' -- only Baldy Granda was bald though.

I'm way too young to be a grandparent, however, I would like to be known as Grandma when the time comes!! My mums parents to me were granny and grumpa and dad's parents were gran and grandad..... My kids call my parents grandma and papa (occasionally grandpa) and they call their dads parents granny and grandad....

My daughters call their Grandma's Nanny Peggy and Nanny Mags lol they are both Margarets. FIL is known as Papa as was my grandad, my nan was Lassie no idea why her name was Grace Ken xx

I get my 2 kids calling my in-laws, Nanna & grandpa, then to call my mum Nanny. [my son used to call my dad grandad, unfortunately, my dad died before my daughter was born!] Pete

When I was growing up I had a Granny and Granda and a Nana. My kids only have the one Grandparent, my Dad , their Granda. Christine

When my eldest was tiny I asked my parents what they wanted to be called. My mother said 'Gran' and my father said 'tell her grandfather and we'll see what a childish mess she makes of it.' Well, she said grandfather without batting an eyelid. Then when she was a little older she said one day, 'If he's grandfather, she must be grandmother' and the two, grandmother and grandfather, stuck. Grandmother died many years ago but all my children still call my father 'grandfather'. As a great-grandparent he's Gramps. I didn't want to be called Gran - felt I was far too young :-) - and got the grandchildren to cal me Mimi (french I think?). Now my adult step-daughter calles me Mimi too. When I remarried and my new husband was asked what he would like my grandchildren to call him he suggested Bigpop and that is what his grandchildren call him now as well.

My Three Grandchildren call me Grandma and Hubby Grandad, But on occasions my six year old Grandaughter calls me Supergran. Especially when I go swimming with them or jumping on their trampline, Keesha says here comes Supergran lol. Regards Jackie
