What do your grandchildren call you?
#171
My first grandson started by calling me Nana. When he was about 5yrs old he changed it to Nena( don't know why) but now everyone calls me that even my ex-husbands daughter. Oh by the way they are all in their 20's now and even their boyfriends and girlfriends call me Nena

I didn't want to be called "grandma" as I thought I was just too young to be called that. lol So, since I had the first grandchild for my mom and dad and I had the pleasure to pick what the grandchildren would call them, which was nay-nay and papa. My oldest one who was giving us our first grandchild had the same opportunity and she chose pap-pa and me-ma.

Sometimes I think it's regional. I've heard maw maw, or mee maw in the south. I think Ya Ya is the cutest and my daughter's children call their Greeek grandmother that. Nonni is cute, sounds Italian to me. I like Grammy for myself. Granny sounds older than I want to be recognized for .... and then there is plain old "Grams" which my sister in law's children called their grandmother. Boils down to what you like to hear I suppose. To me, it's all music out of the mouths of those precious babes. My sister's grandchildren call her Nana and her husband Pepe which is an old French custom I believe.
