That's what my Grandmothers were to me, don't know where it started. I've been Nana from the start with DGS. I do know that children will sometimes decide for themselves. We had a pretty big surprise when DGS came up with his name for grandpa. We had a schnauzer that was his watchdog and buddy from the beginning. His name was Puder Tute(my version of Powder Horn in German..right or wrong!). We could not get DGS to say grandpa at first, but DD called one day to say he was trying to tell them about grandpa and he finally came out with "Poopa"! All we can figure out is that he took the sounds of Puder and grandpa and combined them! Sorry for the long tale.
