    Gran and Nan, both still alive.


    And no real reason, just because I always have.


    Actually it's because I was the second born cousin on one side and the first born on the other.

    My older cousin called our common Grandmother "Gran" so I just copied that, and the other was "Nan" for distinction.

    My paternal grandmother is Nanny, my maternal grandmother is Mama - when I was little, I called her Yaya which is the Greek word for grandma, but then I learned to copy what my mum called her without knowing what it meant...it's a bit late to change now though!

    I used to call her Nanny because she thought being called Grandma made her sound old

    Mamma. I couldn't say grandma when I was little so it came out like that. It kinda stuck and I think she prefers that as the rest of the grandkids call her that I made a mark on the family.
