Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	I read where boomer grandmothers no longer want to go with the traditional grandmother names. Here's a list I came across online. Most seem traditional to me. What do you think? They get a little different when you get near the end. Grandmother, Grandma, Nana, Mimi Oma, Nanny, Grammy, Mommom, Grammie, Grandmom Grandmomma, Grandmother, Grandnan, YaYa, VoVo, Grandmere Gigia, Nonna, Elisi, NaiNai Bube, Babcia, Abuela _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

Bluebird Member Registered: 09/20/05 Posts: 2560 Loc: Pagosa Springs, Colorado	I wish I was Spanish, because I love " Abuela". It sounds so pretty, doesn't it? I wanted an Italian version of Grandma so my daughter and I settled on Nonnie. _________________________ Jackie In My Father's house are many mansions...John 14:2 http://www.myspace.com/westernbluebird

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	I was thrilled to become a Grandmother and happy to be called Gram, gramma and gran. No matter what they call me I am so proud to have the title and all the hugs and love that goes along with it.

Jane_Carroll member Registered: 07/06/06 Posts: 1521 Loc: Alabama	I'm new at this Grandma game and still not settled. I think it is going to be Grammy, although it doesn't really float my boat. I'm hoping Bailey will come up with some cute name on her own. We'll see! _________________________ Jane Carroll
