Hello What do your grandchildren call you if it is not Grandmother, granny, or nanny. Thanks Shirley

Im not a grandmother, but I called my maternal grandmother Nain. (welsh for grandmother) and my children called their grandmothers, nana and nan.

Grandma and Granny were mine....

Mama or Mamma....and I know one little girl who calls her grandmother Moomin!

I'm a long way off being a grandmother but I can say:- I had a Nanny and a Nanna My great-grandmother was Gran or Granny My great-great-grandmother was Little Gran (cos she was so short) Dad had a Nan and a Nain My Aunt is Nanny to her baby grandson as Grandma makes her feel old (She's only in her 40's) another aunt is called Nanna 'Name' the same was used for her mother by the child

Hi I`m Nana to my five grandchildren they all call their other grandmothers Grandma so that there is no confusion. Nana!!

My mum's mum i call Gran or Granny My Dad's mum i used to call Next Granny :) I was small! My grt gran was Nana Mhairi

Hia Shirley. My 5 grandchildren call me gran ,but me and my sisters used to call our grans ,granny and then their surnames to follow so as to know which gran we were talking about.My eldest granddaughter finds it hard as her other (gran) she calls nana.many a slip up. Avril

My 7 grandchildren call me Nanny Gerri now but when my Mum was alive,she was little nan and I was big nan. Mum was 4' nothing and I'm 5'4' lol Gerri.

I am 'Granny', but my mother in law was 'christened' by one of our grandchildren as Great White Nan......because of her shock of white hair... Gail.

I was Nanny until the children became teenagers, then it became, Nan. My great grandson calls me Nanny Kay, so as to diferentiate from his dad/mums, mum, if you understand my drift. Kathlyn

My childrens Nanny's both wanted to be Nanny, so they didn't get confused which was which, one has a dog called Lucy and is called Nanny Lucy and the other has frogs in her pond - Nanny frog!

Hi, my son call his 2 Grandmothers Nanny, but when we talk about them when they are not there they are called Nanny Next Door (she lives in the Annexe) and Nanny Devon (she lives in Devon!). Nanny Devon has lots of step grandchildren and they all call her Nanny Janet, but she didn't want to be called that by her first 'real grandkid' not that she treats them any differently but she would prefer to be called Nanny by them all.

I am called Nana by all five of my grandchildren aged from 4 to 18. Ann Glos

Hi My great gran was mum , because thats what the whole family called her. My son calls my mum little nanny , and my husbands mum big nanny because of the age difference, my nan he calls grandma. And my dad is grumpy grandad! lorraine
