#83778 - 07/28/06 12:54 AM My "name"
Di Member Registered: 11/15/05 Posts: 2798 Loc: NM, transplant from NJ	I decided that my step-granddaughter, Grace,will call me Nunna. I never did like the "grandma" title, since I'm technically not of blood relation. And we, as kids, called both of our grandmother's Nunna. So, since I'm the only Nunna, I won't need to be "Grandma Di"...I'm just plain Nunna! (I think this term of endearment was from my Yugoslavian descendants) _________________________ Southwest Body Gear here ~ NEWLY updated website with many new products!

Them majority of boomers don't like the typical gran, nana, etc. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

Di Member Registered: 11/15/05 Posts: 2798 Loc: NM, transplant from NJ	Yeah, I think it's because we don't "feel or look" like the grandma's we have stereotypically envisioned...with hair buns,long dresses and canes!! _________________________ Southwest Body Gear here ~ NEWLY updated website with many new products!

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	And thank God for that! Twice this week I heard of two boomer grandmothers being called Gigi, or GG. The one told me it's for great grandmother. Not as in great-grandmother, but the fact that's she's great at being a grandmother. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	I have a friend who's name is Nancy. Her grandchildren combined the two "Grandmother with Nancy" and came up with Grancy. I love it! Trust me on this one, THEY will call you whatever they can pronounce. As I said, mine knows who we're talking about when we say, "Go give it to Big Mamma" for instance, but she calls me GAN-MAW. And get this, I call her Beed-A-Botter. Don't ask me, it just came to me one day. She loves it.

Di Member Registered: 11/15/05 Posts: 2798 Loc: NM, transplant from NJ	BTW, Nunna rhymes with "Bubba". My DH thought it was "noona' so I needed to clarify! _________________________ Southwest Body Gear here ~ NEWLY updated website with many new products!
