My only grandchild is only 8 months old and not talking yet but wanted to share my sister's "grandma name."

Her 2 grandchildren call her 'Nana' and her husband is 'PopPop'. My parents, their great-grandparents are 'Nana Old' and 'PopPop Old'. Cute, but my mom doesn't like it, would prefer to just be 'Grandma' like she is with the rest of the grandkids.

I have one grandbeauty, Lea (and another one on the way) and I'm teaching her to call me Big Mamma. Whatever she lands on is fine by me... as long as it isn't BM.

We put Mother's Christmas tree up today and while I was busy handing ornaments on the bottom layers and sitting in the floor, I felt something on my shoulder and turned and Lea had walked over to me and just laid her head on my shoulder. Does it get any better than that?

We are Nanny (or Nan) and Dad-Dad (baby talk for Granddad). The boys all have several grands, and great grands with various names but what surprises me is the way the 3 1/2 year olds already know how each one is related to them! What a joy!

My oldest grandchild started it! He called my Grandma Zona, short for Grandma in Arizona, and the other grandkids picked it up. And yes, whatever they call you sounds so cute coming out of their mouths!

dramma, and Grandma Zona...how precious! I think our grandchildren are more creative than we are, eh? Those names are darling. I have a friend who's name is Nancy, and her grandchildren would get "grandmaw" and "Nancy" mixed up, so it came out Grancy. I love that! Now everybody calls her Grancy.

Lola is what the grandchildren call me. Short for the Spanish form "abuelita". But in my grandson's school the children always address me as "Rhys' grandmother". So, the sentence would always be:
"Good morning, Rhys' grandmother"
"Thank you, Rhys' grandmother" etc etc etc.

Does not bother me because they address my daughter as "Rhys'Mom".
