I came up with ours for our granddaughter and after nearly a year of going by these names, my daughter informs me she doesn't want our granddaughter to refer to DH by the name we picked. What a mess that has been! Anyway, by all means it's definitely a good idea to get things ironed out long,long before the grand baby arrives. If I had to do this over then I'd do it differently for sure. <br /><br /><a href="https://curiousasacathy.com/nasty-canasta/" rel="nofollow">Nasty Canasta Looney Tunes A-Z Art Sketch</a><br />Cathy Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01738079671642137018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-52062609756293596442021-04-25T13:35:11.465-04:002021-04-25T13:35:11.465-04:00Such a sweet post.

Mark wanted to be Gramps like his favorite grandfather. However James has decided to call him papa. My dad's great grandchildren called him GG. He never got to meet James in person but he did meet his great great grandson.

They were both Grandma & Papaw but when referring to them we added the last names to keep it all straight. We were fortunate that they all got along and were frequently all together for holidays. It was kinda nice have three sets of grandparents growing up (more presents!). I do remember my great-grandma on my dad's side but she passed when I was around six.

They range in age from fifteen to almost three. Our first grandson call us Drampa and Dramma because he couldn't say the hard G sound. I really hoped it would stick but it didn't and we eventually became Gramma and Grampa. We spell it that way because that's the say it sounds when they say it. Their other grandparents chose different names too so there is never any confusion about who we are referring to. One set is Nana and Pip, one is NeNe and Poppy and the last is Nana and Grampy John.

She is 20 months and she says, "Bop" and "Man" . . .I assume she will eventually say Pop and Gran but for now . . .it is pretty cute!!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00181034688965864601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-66504050018348146172021-04-16T09:15:26.547-04:002021-04-16T09:15:26.547-04:00We had the problem where all 4 sets of our parents...We had the problem where all 4 sets of our parents wanted to be called gramdma/grammy and grandpa/grampy. But my kids did end up coming up with their own nicknames for them all so we could tell them apart and occasionally as a new niece or nephew made the way into the family the nickname changed (and then again as my kids got older). Many years later my mother confided that she wished she had been memere but at the time her mother was still alive that I called memere and she felt too young to be a memere but being older she wishes she had that link to her French heritage.

My Mum was Nanny to my kids and my Dad if he'd still been alive would most likely have been Granddad. Hubby's parents were always Grandma and Grandpa.

Sometimes we called grandpap, "Happy Pappy" as he was quite the jokester. <br />I am called "Nina" by my grandchildren. It is how the first one pronounced Grandma. I think it suits me well.<br /><br />I live reading your posts.

I have been thinking about just that question of how I'd like to be called and am yet undecided. My own grandma was Nagyi and Grandpa was Nagypapi in Hungarian, which non of my children speak, and my mum was Savta which is grandmother in Hebrew. Again my children don't speak that language either. I still have a few months to settle on a name or it will be decided for me. �� Andrea Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08731026313052498864noreply@blogger.com
