My children called my mum, nanny and fathers mother Granny. My grandchildren call me nanny. My grandaughter in Norway, has Farmor for fathers mother (me) Farfar, fathers father Marmor ,mothers mother,Marfor,mothers father, sounds complicated, but it works.

My paternal grandmother likes to be called Nanny (that's what my dad called his grandparents) but I call her Granny. My mum's mother I call Grandma. My grandfather died a while ago and I've never met my dad's father (my grandparents divorced). Lucia :-)

My Nana was always...well...Nana! And I had my Grandad till I was about 3. My daughter, however, has a whole heap of names 'cos she has so many grandparents... Granny and Grampa (my parents) Daddy-Grampa and Nana Chris (her dad's dad & his wife) Nanny and Grampa Brian (her dad's mum and her husband) then Great Grandma Turner, who is sadly the only one of her G-grandparents still living. She was lucky enough to know 3 great grandparents before they passed on. My favourite is 'daddy-grampa' - she just came up with that one day and it stuck.
