Re: What do you call your Grandmother?She's now dead, but when she was alive I called her Nana, but often when I am talking about her to other people I say Gran.
Why on earth is this in the religion section btw?Last edited by WelshBluebird; 23-06-2012 at 20:32. -

Re: What do you call your Grandmother?Maternal - Granny
Paternal - Nana. Though this was highly objected to by my mother when I was first born (she wrote thankyou notes etc to 'Granny and Grandad', but they always wrote 'Nana and Grandy' and insisted that that was what they were going to be called) so it stuck. Though I quite like the fact that I don't know anybody else who calls their grandad 'Grandy'. -

Re: What do you call your Grandmother?Nan or nanny.
My other grandmother was Grandma *surname* for some reason. I never really saw her, I have only vague recollections of her and I didn't go to her funeral (my parents deemed me too young). -

Re: What do you call your Grandmother?Well I only ever knew one of my grandmothers because the other died even before my dad met my mum. I used to call the one I knew 'Nonna' (meaning 'Granny' in Italian) because she thought it sounded less old than 'Granny'
We don't have any Italian roots, it's just that she preferred being called that

Re: What do you call your Grandmother?my grandparents are all dead. When they were alive though, I called my maternal grandmother "babcia" and my paternal grandmother "memere".
My kids call my mother "granny", my step-mother "grandma June", and my mother-in-law "nana". -

Re: What do you call your Grandmother?and what are you thoughts on 1971 war?(Original post by Iqbal007)
I'm not that crazy, my grandparents know I love them.
Plus grandparents love their grandchildren very very much even more than people realise.
