[quote=Anonymous]I acquired a step-grandmother when I was 12. I already had a Nana, a Grandma and a great grandma we called Mimi. I called this new lady by her first name, Claire, and the grandchildren that came along after that called her Grandma Claire. If a traditional grandmother nickname seems hard now, then I too suggest a nickname or her first name. Saying "Papa and Mrs. Jones" sounds horribly stilted. "Papa and Bonnie" or "Grandpa and Shirley" is at least warmer and sounds as if you have attempted to welcome her. "Mrs. Jones" sounds like a name reserved for a teacher. I would not use a name already in use for another grandparent though. [/quote]
