Grandparents - what do you call 'em?

"Dead" and "mad".

Well, you did ask!

?

Always nan and granddad, my kids both say nanny the either my mom or oh moms name.........ad its granddad with them too. Heard people say nanna rather than nanny.

Mum's parents were Grandma and Grandad, Dad's parents were Nanny and Grandpa (Nanny was meant to be Nana originally but my sister just kept saying Nanny!)

I could combine the two for my mum and just call her Dead-mad.

Nonno ?

My only living grandparent is my dad's dad, and he speaks very little English!

I call both Nana.

ETA and before my Grandad passed away it was always Grandad.

Nanny and Grandad when I was young (followed by their surnames so Nanny Connolly etc)

Nana and Grandad as I got older.

All sadly gone now

I had Nanny and Rod and Nana and Grandad. Unfortunately they are dead now. my dads dad is grandad too.

H's kids call his mum n dad, Nan/Nanny A and Farve, but their mums parents are nanny C and grandad

I dont like granny or nana.

"Nanny" and "Grandad", for both sets. For maternal grandparents, I followed with their first names, while for paternal grandparents, I used their (my) surname. None of them are around anymore.

It's very normal for us, because it's a very common term in Irish families. If I hear someone use the word Nanny, I tend to think they have Irish in them somewhere.

Boy calls his Nanny "Nannan", and his Mum is "Nannan" to his niece. I'm not keen on this term, not sure why. His Grandad was "Grandad".

Nanny and Pop on my mums side, although he died years before i was born.

Nanny and Grampy on my Dad's side. Grampy was sometimes known as grumpy Grampy. (well we were a PITA as kids and used their spare bed as a trampoline.)

Sadly I haven't got any and sometimes feel very envious of people who have grandparents.

My nieces and nephews call their grandparents (my mum and dad) nannie and bampie.

Was Nana on my mum's side (My mum's dad died when I was a baby so never knew him) and Gran and Grandad on my dad's side. Only my Grandad left now sadly.

Granny and Grandpa on my mum's side who I was very close to. My Granny died when I was 26 and I still called her that, wouldn't change just because I'd grown up! I don't like Nanny etc.

The other day when I parked and let the dog out the car my mum opened the back door and said "There's Granny's wee girl" ?. She gives me the no grandchildren guilt A LOT!

Nanan (sadly passed now) and grandad - only know maternal ones

Haven't had any for 40 years!

I am Granny S.... to my granddaughter.

"Nanny" to me is the hired help (Mary Poppins) or a goat!

Always grandma and grandad.

I've only got my grandma on my dads side left now. Grew up with both grandads on both sides, but never knew my grandma on mums side - she died when I was just under 5 months old.

I call my Dad "pops"

I called my Dad's parents "Gran" and "Granddad Axxxx". My mum's parents were "Nan" and "Granddad Raff".

All sadly gone now.

I only had one of each but I called them Nannan and Granddad. Not quite sure how or why my Grandma became Nannan, but I quite like it.

My Dad called my Mum's Dad "Pop" (as did all the other males of that generation).

My Mum's Mum lived with us so she was Nanna as it was less formaly than Gran/Granny in her mind. Her husband who died when I was a baby was known as Pop. On my Dad's side it was Grandad and Grandma although I never knew Grandma. All have died now. Although OH still has one set left and I call them Grandma and Grandad they're 94 and 92 so don't always know who is who in the large family. It made sense to call them what they're used to. Although in exchange Grandma calls me Geraldine usually. It's not my name but her daughters name. I don't know whether to take offense or not. Geraldine is lovely but about 65 and lives in Australia whereas I'm 28 and live in Suffolk. Bless her.

I had a Nanny Mo (Maureen) and Grandad.

I still have a Nanny Wing (she used to live by the swing but I couldn't quite say Nanny Swing!) and Poppa. Not sure where the name Poppa came from (H thinks it's hilarious), but he is my step-grandad as my Nan lost her first husband (my real Grandad) to lung cancer at 48, then married Poppa lots of years later.

And me.

Mum's parents are Grandma and Grandpa. My dad's parents are Ba and Dada.

H has got a Grandma and Grandpa (mum's side) and a Grandma and Grandad (dad's side). I call them the same.

A 'calls' both grandmothers Grandma, and my dad is Dada and H's dad is Grandad. He may well choose other names when he can actually speak, but that's how we refer to our parents in front of him IYSWIM.

Mine have passed away but they were always 'nanny and grandad first-name'. Same for Ollie I suppose but we just say nanny and grandad ATM.

Nan and Grandad. This is what my boys call my parents.

My Mum refuses to be Grandma, "because old people are called Grandma". I made her a Nan when she was about 40, so I can understand her not wanting to be Grandma.

Saying that, my friend is 42, and hates "Nan", she wants to be Grandma when her kids have kids.

Mine were Grandma J and Grandma E, Granda P and Granda M (Christian names). Only Grandma J left now. ☹️

My dad's parents were Grandma and Grandpa. Mum's died before I was born so never got "grandparent names." H still has his maternal grandparents, who he calls Gran and Grandpa; I just use their first names.

Dead!

I have grans and grandads. Although both grans are called something I'm not allowed to say on hitched when I'm in private. They are not nice people and give me some amount of grief.

H has grans and a nana and grandads.

I only have one set and they have always been called Nanny & Henry. Don't know anyone who refers to my Granddad as anything other than Henry!
