OMA is a great german word for grandma.

My granddaughter calls me Grammy and her other grandma Nana.

How 'bout Grand Nan? My friends called their Gramma, Nan, then it was Great Nan, now it's Great Grand Nan. Kinda neat huh?

This is a good suggestion, too, maybe something you can suggest when you ask what they want. Some of my friends' kids call me Mama J and I love it.

I apologize I haven't read through all the posts, but my GK's often call us Gramp and Gram, which is great. But the 2 year old has been calling DH Damp and you know what that makes me...Dam :roll: :roll: :roll:

Nana, Nonie, Meema, ...
And what's wrong with Grandma Lori, or Granny Lori? This child is lucky to have several Grandmas!

This is too darn funny!!! My DH and I both got the best laugh. Thank You!

I'm sorry I don't have time to read all the answers you've received, but I would ask him what he thinks the child should call you. My sister is "Gigi" and I think that's a very sweet name. I hope that all works out, try to trust that it's not about you, but just that when one has 2 parents already, it complicates things.

My ex-huband's wife wants our grandson to call her Aunt Lori. Our daughter said he can call her anything he wants but NOT aunt. She told her it would be too confusing for the little guy. He calls my husband PaPa but calls me mama. I want to be called gammy.

I had a step-grandfather as I was growing up & my mother would not allow us to call him Grandpa, so he was always Charlie, but when MY kids came along they called him Grandpa Charlie, he loved it and so did I.
