Like you know how some people call their grandmother nana... or nan, or nanny, or grandmother even...

Everyone has different names for their grandparents, it would be interesting to see what people have for them... nicknames and such.

See, my grandmother being chinese... I use the chinese word for my mothers mother... which... I don't know how to spell.. it's like Popo or something... pronounced paw paw I think. And my uncles children would call her Gong gong I think... ços it's their fathers mother.


:) And if I had ever met my fathers mother, I'd have called her Grandmother Jane :p because that's how my dad refers to her when he talks about her to me :)




So ^^^ question in the title :D

    When I was younger I used to call then Nan and Pop :wub: Now I just refer to them as Gran, Grannie, Grandma, or one some occasions Nan (Maybe on something like her birthday). I dont have anymore Grandfathers so I don't have any nicknames for them :p
