HelpRe: Nana
in reply to a message by queenv
My grandchildren call me Nana. That's what their parents called my mother, and that's what I called my paternal grandmother. I like it.

My mother liked Nana. My siblings and I called our maternal grandmother Grammy, so I assumed that's what my mom would want to be called, but she said she hated Grammy. My grandchildren call me Grammy.

My mom is Mimi because Grandma sounded too old, she was 50 when she became a grandmother for the first time. My grandparents were Grandma / Grandpa but my parents are Mimi & Papa. It's from my sister's-in-law family.
I wonder what Alexander and I will use. X's parents are Grandma & Grandpa.

Old sounding...I was 45 when my first grand-child was born, in fact, the day after my 45th birthday.
I called my parental grandmother Nana, and my maternal grandparents Grandma Becky and Grandpa Jim. This had been well established by other grandchildren, I was one of the younger ones.
I don't mention my paternal grandfather, I never knew him, he died quite young. So I think of him rather formally, as Grandfather Lastname.
