My daughters invented "Muggy" for me and "Dad" for their father. My granddaughter kept "Muggy" for me and all her friends and their families call me that. I've even allowed a very dear friend, who told me I felt to her like the grandmother she never had, to call me "Muggy". My husband refused to come up with a name, and for as long as he lived, he was "FraPa" to his granddaughter. These names will always be special to me.

I wanted to be called "grandma",like I called my Grandmother. I must have said "grandma 10,000 times getting the first grandson to say it. All for nothing. One day from the back seat I heard "Grammy", and I realized I had a knew name! They will call you what they want.😍.

I'm Mimi to my DGS, now my oldest son is having his first & he says I'll be MiMi to DGD (!), his MIL is also Mimi - so we'll see what granddaughter decides. My Mom was Grammie to grands & great grands. Their other grandmothers are Grandma and Grandmother.
