What do you call your grandmother?

(1/8) > >>

HDAngel:
My granddaughter is starting to try to communicate. It will be no time at all before she starts talking. So, I need to decide what I want her to call me. I called my moms mother grandma, but refused except that I could have two grandma's so I called my dads mother Nana. Being the mutt I am... English, Irish, Scottish, Russian, Polish, German, Cherokee and Choctaw Indian that I have many languages to choose from. I'm soooo confused. What do you call your grandma?

Skadi:
If I was you, I'd use a Native American term. Mostly because I adore that culture. I'm like you..totally mixed background melting pot. Mostly English, Scottish and Irish.

I don't know. The Native American thing just seems cool to me. And it seems most closely tied to the oldest US roots. So I still say go with that.

There's noting wrong with Grandma or Grammy either. It might be that she settles into her own ideas, and calls you what she wants to.

feelingindifferent:
I call my grandmother 阿婆 (my mum's mum)
but my dad's mum I　ｃａｌｌ　ｈｅｒ　麻麻
 :D sorry, not much help, they're both canto phrases.

dweez:
+5 for awesomeness
-5 for apologizing

JackFrost:
I call mine Grammy...  :)
