My parents are nana and grandad since thats what my nephews call them.

DHs parents are nanny and poppa (at MILs request, DD is first grandchild) which is fine but I secretly hope DD calls her nana as I cant stand nanny (no offence to anyone out there that thinks otherwise, its just not for me as it sounds like, well, a nanny instead of a grandparent)

Not really sure what grandparents will be as yet. I have one set of grandparents (nana and grandad) and DH has a nana, a granny and a grandad.
All others are deceased.

My grandparents are called gran and grandad.

Hubbys mum is called nana, and her mum is called great grandma, it does get a bit confusing with jacob so great grandma gets called grandma foster sorta makes it easier for jacob.

My parents are Nanny and Grandad (although for a long time it was Frandad which was shortened to Fran lol the kids have just figured out how to pronounce Gr)
Ex MIL is Grandma and her partner Grandad Ian
EX FIL is Grandpop I think, we don't like his partner so I think she is just referred to as her name. I think she tried to get them to call her something else but it failed.
Ex FIL's mother is great grandma
Ex MIL's mother is nothing as she has no time for my kids.

oh and my grandparents will be called what i call them... so...


Nana Lila and Pop Wally (dads mum n step dad)
Poppa Dick and Nana Marjorie (dads dad and step mum)
Gramma Maree and Grahnie (mums mum and step dad)
Great Grandad and Berry (mums dad and his 'missus'.... not married. but been together for over 30 years)

(which i find quite interesting.... both mum and dad are the youngest of 3 kids.... and out of 6 marriages, 5 are still going strong in the grow-old-together kind of way.)

Great Grandad John (DPs grandad) and thats all ive met. i think the other ones are all deceased ]]> Sun, 31 Oct 2010 08:18:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36462&PID=1188678&title=what-do-your-kids-call-their-grandparents#1188678 <![CDATA[What do your kids call their grandparents : My parents are Nanny and Grandad...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36462&PID=1188664&title=what-do-your-kids-call-their-grandparents#1188664 Author: zoeymil

woah, quite the selection.

My mom will be 50 when bubs is born - she doesnt want to sound old! She was going for jaja (or yaya) which apparently is greek - not that we're greek, i think she just liked the name.

Though to be fair, i think she will be called by her name, i call both my parents by name, they've never been Mom or Dad. My mom said its cuz i was such a pain as a baby they didnt sweetly say "Go to mummy" they were more saying "Jill, take this damn baby away NOW!"

anakk - if she only sees them once or twice a year, can't they both have the same name? It shouldnt be too confusing if she hardly sees the other set. And when she's a bit older she will learn to diferentiate on her own...?

This is an issue for me - as both sets of grandparents want to be nana and grandad, as they already have lots of grandchildren that know them by that title (and both our mothers think grandma sounds old) but I think it is really confusing for Clara!

I try to get her to call them "Grandad ... (Christian name)" but it is hard to get that to stick - she'll confuse the two names, or just use Grandad.

Has anyone had this problem and is it really a problem?

My parents are Nana and Grandad (or Gandad), and their other grandparents are Gran and Poppa. They also have a Grandma (their dad's grandmother) and another Nana (my grandmother).]]> Sat, 30 Oct 2010 10:23:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36462&PID=1188252&title=what-do-your-kids-call-their-grandparents#1188252 <![CDATA[What do your kids call their grandparents : before the kids were born i asked...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36462&PID=1188251&title=what-do-your-kids-call-their-grandparents#1188251 Author: Kimnthekids

before the kids were born i asked both sets of out parents what they actually wanted to be called, so now we have a Nana and Grandad, and a Grandma and Grandad.

Course when DS was little they got all sorts until he learnt how to pronounce words properly :)]]> Sat, 30 Oct 2010 10:20:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36462&PID=1188251&title=what-do-your-kids-call-their-grandparents#1188251 <![CDATA[What do your kids call their grandparents : Mum is &#039;Nana&#039;, love...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36462&PID=1188243&title=what-do-your-kids-call-their-grandparents#1188243 Author: Flutterby

Mum is 'Nana', love it when DS sees her coming home and shouts out Nana.

Dad is Granddad,
Step mum wants to be Gran, though DS hasn't got that one down yet.

My Nana, is Nanna.

Exs dad is Granddad but not sure what DS calls his mum.]]> Sat, 30 Oct 2010 10:04:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36462&PID=1188243&title=what-do-your-kids-call-their-grandparents#1188243 <![CDATA[What do your kids call their grandparents : Grandpa - my dad Gran and Grandad...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36462&PID=1188232&title=what-do-your-kids-call-their-grandparents#1188232 Author: fire_engine

We will be having Grandma and Grandad, Nanna and Poppa. It's been awkward cos both sets wanted to be called Nanna and Poppa and one set has just kind of bagsed it and said that's them. Lol.

We have Grandma and Grandad and Nanna and Poppa. I was pleased when DH's parents wanted to be Nanna and Poppa, because Mum and Dad wouldn't want anything other than Grandma and Grandad, and it was less confusing that way!]]> Sat, 30 Oct 2010 08:28:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36462&PID=1188159&title=what-do-your-kids-call-their-grandparents#1188159 <![CDATA[What do your kids call their grandparents : We have Grandma and Grandad, Grampa...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36462&PID=1188152&title=what-do-your-kids-call-their-grandparents#1188152 Author: BugTeeny

My girl calls my parents Grandma and Grandad and her dad's parents Dead Nana and Dead Poppa (for obvious reasons!). She calls my grandparents Great Grandma and Great Grandad.

My girls call their father's parents -
   Grandma & Poppa

And they call my parents -
    Nana & Gabba

They used to try and call my Dad "Grandad" but found it hard so came up with Gabba one day and it has just stuck!
