[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She probably has a friend or two with grand kids who call them that and now she wants to be called that too. New grandmas can be like little girls, wanting what their friends have, buying what their friends but grandchildren, comparing who does what, etc. [/quote]

This is so true - my MIL wants to be called "nana" which is not a family name and both I and DH think sounds really dumb -- because her two best friends are nanas.  Of course my poor mom, who is not a native English speaker, keeps asking DD if she had a good time when her "nanny" visited! :)[/quote]
Too funny. None of the grandparents in our family go by family names, except my dad, who goes by Pop-Pop.

I had a Grandma Lo, a Grandma Flo (Lois and Florence), and a Pop-Pop. We called my grandfather who passed before I was born Grandpa Joe when we talked about them. DH has a Bama (he couldn't pronounce Grandma and everyone else followed suit, even the older cousins), and had a Papa, Nana, and Grandpa.

My parents are Pop-Pop and Mom-Mom (yes, this WAS inspired by a friend of hers, and NO, there hasn't ever been any confusion). ILs are Granny and Coach, which started out as a joke before we all decided we liked it. [/quote]
