Another name for Grandma?

Well, I see you chose the name I was going to suggest!! :mrgreen:
I am about to become a step-grandparent in October, but I refer to it as a BONUS grandparent, and I have chosen Gigi as my name, because it isn't Grandma and stays off of people's toes, because I am "FAR" too young to be a Grammy, and because my last name is Green, so, Grandma Green, GG, ---Gigi :thumbup:

When DD was growing up, my DM had passed away before she was born and MIL passed away when she was 12. She called her Granni. When she was pregnant, she asked is the baby could refer to me as Granni, not that I was old but because it made her think of my MIL. (her words. LOL)She now has two boys and they call her MIL Mimi and I am Mimi with the Papa. Kids will call you what they want and I LOVE anything they call me.

Growing up, my maternal grandparents were Big Grandma and Little Grandma (great-grandma). My paternal grandmother was referred to by our last name. Some dear friends of the family were also Grandpa & Grandma (last name). As an adult, I discovered many of my aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents didn't share a drop of blood-only love and acceptance. Some of these people were so dear, they truly treated me as well as their own family. To me, it's all about who loves you, not whose DNA you share. I think it's wonderful you're accepting the baby as your own.

My neighbors growing up all had grandkids close to my age. The ones next door were Gram and Diddy, across the street were Memaw and Pop, others were Gramma and Deeda, Gammy and Pawpaw.
I'm Grammy or Ms Patty (what the church kids have called me for years)
