Grandparents names


Both mine and my OH mum refuse to be called nan, they both insist on being called Grandma!

My Mum never wanted to be Granny. She chose Grandma when the first of the 9 in the next generation arrived so I guess we'll be sticking with that! Dunno about MIL, I can't imagine her wanting any of them, but I think she particularly dislikes Nanna. I also have a step-MIL, dunno what we'll call her either!

My mum is only 44 (had me when she was 23) and my OH's mum is older, she is 54. So my mum wants to be called nana as she thinks granny and grandma too old lol. My Dad wants to be called grandad as he think grandpa too old as he only 48.

As for my OH parents. His mum is married again so it will just be granny and dave(as my OH dont call him dad and feels weird at the time being his baba callin him grandad) but maybe later in life baba might call him grandad.
His dad wants to be called gramps lol and his wife will just be suzanna.

Bit confusing on my OH side. lol

My mum wants to be called " Nana " ...She's said it hundred's of times, for when I was going to have a baby I do agree with her though, Grandma does sound old. She's only 40. And obviously my dad will be called Grandad.

My OH's mum wants to be called " Grandma " And he doesn't see his dad so it won't have a Grandad on his side. Poor thing. x

I forgot about all the guys! My dad will stay as Granddad, my step-FIL will be by name I think. He was a real knob not long ago so not sure he deserves a special name! And my FIL will be given whatever name mocks him most, e.g. Old-Man Fisher (his surname) or similar! lol
