I like granny. It might sound old but you can keep that name till you are great great grandma. My kids chose what the grand children call me. It ranges from oma, bubu to grandma. It is all good as long as they call me.

Congratulations on your new adventure in life. And it will be great.
We did not live close to the grand parents, (military family) so we had grandma and grandpa Kansas and grandma and grandpa P( our last name initial) Our grand children called us grapes and grames because the parents would say "we are going to grampas and grandmas) The younger ones would pick it up from the older ones.

I am due to have my first grandson in about 16 day (give or take a day or so).
My name is going to be Yaya (at least for now, might just go to nana).

My mom was known as "Gram" to the grandchildren. I have a friend who is called "Honey" by her grandchildren, and her mother is "G.G." for "great grandma".

I'm Nana and that's what I wanted. I wouldn't dream of letting my daughter's tell me what to be called by my grandchildren just as I wouldn't dream of telling them they should be called momma, mommy, mom - whatever.
