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

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.

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

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

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

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 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

I have a Grandma. My step-grandmother is Kyria Maria (Greek for sweet Maria - her name, I think). My step-grandad on the other side is just Ray :0)

Real Nan, and he call's his other Nan Nannie and her name, i think he followed suit of his cousin's who call his other Nan by by name, but we have never been able to establish why he call's me real LOL

I'm Nana to my sons children & Nana Viv to my daughters. Mother of my sons first wife is Grandma to her two & mother of now wife is Nanoo to all four. My first husband,[real grandad] has been Grandad in NZ but I guess from next week he'll just be Grandad. Eldest grandson is the only one who knew my lovely man & he called him Poppa. Vivienne

I am not a grandmother ... yet. My son calls my mum grannie. He is very amused that my grannie is my mum's mum, so that mummy's grannie is the same as grannie's mummy! He invented names for my in-laws, which were his way of saying Grandma and Grandpa, and although they are now sadly no longer with us, we call them Marna and Parder. nell

My son David calls me Papa Shango no idea why lol! Davex

I am Ganma and Grandad is called Dads by my little Grandson Sean Moon Hare ..

My mum is 4 feet 11 inches and my mother in law is 5 feet 10 inches so they are little nana and big nana! My dad is grandad and F-I-L is grandpa (or grumpa, because he looks very stern (is isn't of course)! Claire xx

Three of mine call me grancha the other one it is grandfather most of the time xxxxx
