Anyone have any unique "Grandma" nicknames to share?

Jonah's_Mommy · March 2009

My mom and I are struggling with what her should be, since this will be her first grandbaby. Also, because she still feels young herself! We are ruling out the traditional "Grandma", "Granny", "Nana", etc. Anyone have any fun ones that they don't mind sharing? TIA! Big Smile

JamieNIan · March 2009

My mom wants to be called Nana.

thenewmrsrussell · March 2009

Not THAT unique but here goes

MIL is Grammie

Mom is Nana

Step-mom is Meme (Mimi)

My Mom's mom is Nina

My Dad's mom is Memere (french)

My grandmother is Nonnie... My mom wants to be Neenee... (not sure if I'm a fan of that..) I'm afraid if she's Neenee, my dad will automatically be called Peepee. lol.

laurmarie7 · March 2009

My mom will be called Grammie, and MIL will be Nene (although, I am NOT a fan of that one... sorry)

Noelle2375 · March 2009

My nieces and nephews call my mom "mom-mom" so that is what my LO will call her.

gobigblue · March 2009

we're big on abbreviations. GC for Grandma Catherine. or GG for Grandma Gretchen. etc...

My MIL is going to be lokuama.

manda_mullins · March 2009

I have a friend who calls her's Mamu (like ma'am and ew) and her grandpa is Big Daddy.?

AlliVe · March 2009

babyformeg · March 2009

Would that be pronounced Neenee? Yeah, my mom wants to be called that too.. see my PP on my thoughts..

Jonah's_Mommy · March 2009

Linz, that's too funny with the Neenee and Peepee.

Thanks girls for sharing. My mom did mention that she might like to be called "Moo" but I really don't want her to be associated with the noise that a cow makes. lol.

loquita1 · March 2009

we are mexican so we have Abuelita and the kids call her ita for short...but what ever you call your parent they will mimic you lol my two year old niece calls my mom "mom" "mama" 'mama ita" lol good luck!

My inlaws will also be abuelita and abuelito, they are puertorican.

Ludenbelle · March 2009

Nothing really fun. My mom is the traditional 'Nana' while my grandmothers were traditional for us 'Nanny' and 'Abuela'. But my MIL will be Bubbe.

One of my best friends calls hers Memaw. I've also heard Mimi, Mamaw & Gigi.

psuash7 · March 2009

That made me laugh out loud Big Smile

DDK513 · March 2009

Ultimately the baby will decide what to call her... but my mom will be "Nonna" (Italian for grandma) and DH's mom will be "Heartless ***"...oh wait..i mean... "grandma" i guess...

jl_nc · March 2009

MIL is Grandmama (it was already established with my SIL's kids)

My mom is Nonnie (she is not a nana or a grammie...) her mom is Nana and lives near us, so it works..

Lol, it would be funnier one day when my dad and DS are out in public and he's yelling "Peepee, I need my Peepee!!"

meli_221 · March 2009

I've heard Grandee before.

I also have a friend whose mom is now "Honey" to her nieces and nephews. They always heard her husband call her Honey and they thought that was her name, so it stuck. They now call her Honey, which is cute:-)

Mine is Nana (Italian) and MIL is G.G.

cdschadenfroh · March 2009

My mom is Oma - German for grandma.

Lol thats great.. haha.. I asked my dad what he wants to be called and he said whatever he wants to call him. So yeah... he'll prob be Peepee. Oh well.

Steffsjet · March 2009

My mom will probably be Grammie since my nephew calls her that.

My dad...hopefully grandpa but since my nephew calls him Bob I have some fear!

My MIL - Nana My FIL - Pop They were so excited to ask us if they could be called that. I really didn't have a preference but I will have to work on those names since both my grandparents were Grandma and Grandpa.

M0mmy2b · March 2009

My mom is MEME & Boyfriend's mom will be MiMZi

laurenshay · March 2009

My dad is Pops and my mom is Grammy. My ILs are Nana and Papaw.

My dad's cousin's grandkids call her "Toots". Thats what she wanted! When one of the boys was younger, he couldn't say "Toots".....it came out "Tits". She had to live with that until they taught him the correct way to say it! LOL!

TimsMayBride · March 2009

My parents wanted my niece to call them Grammy and Grampy.

My niece changed Grammy to Mimi (which my mom loved), and she had a hard time pronouncing Grampy so it would often come out "Greepy". Sometimes it sounded like she was calling him "Creepy"!

My MIL's name is Camilla (rhymes with vanilla), and my SIL suggested our baby call her "Gramilla". MIL hated that idea!

Thanks girls for sharing. My mom did mention that she might like to be called "Moo" but I really don't want her to be associated with the noise that a cow makes. lol.

I normally only pop over here to lurk (currently 35w), but I had to add to this due to the Moo. My DD is 19 months and was calling my Mom Meemow, but she decided to call her Meemoo instead. Shortly after she changed my Dad's from Papaw to Papoo.

christina-marie · March 2009

A former co-worker (pretty young grandma in her late 40's-beautiful-hip-young) decided that she and her DH would be called "Hunny and Pops"

I thought that was cute.

Elisa312 · March 2009

We have very close older friends who are like parents to me and DH and will be like grandparents to our baby.

They will be called Poppy (him) and Honey (her). I love the names!

tnmaybride04 · March 2009

My Mom is Mims. It was from some old movie but I'm not sure which one. My Mom is still young and fun and would rather die than be called granny or anything even close to that. I think Gigi is really cute too and is probably what I would have chosen for her if it was up to me.
