I called my Dad's parents Grandma and Pop. I can't recall what I called my mother's parents her Mum died when I was two and her Dad died when I was about five but I think I called him granddad. My Mum's grandmother I remember calling Granny.

I had Grans and Granda's for Grandparents and most Great Grandparents except one.... My Granny's dad....he was my Grandpa!! I now call Granny, Gran and when my kids were little they called her Granny but now its just Gran, the youngest even calls her Gran because he hears all the others say it. My mum is Nannie to all of mine and my dad is Grandad. Mother in law is Nanna and father in law is Pop. My step dad is Papa but he has always been in their lives. Step mum only married Dad 5 year ago so doesnt get a title. I want to be Gran when its my turn... everyone says it sounds old but I like it... mum wanted Nannie coz she said she wasnt old enough to be a gran!! Shaz xx

Why are men just given the one title?? Granda Fred Granda Charile and Granda Billy?? Karen

I'm Gran. My daughter's mother in law is Grandma and my mother in law (great grandmother) is Nanna. Grandad's with first names. Magsx

That is bewildering Bry!! But a lovely term of endearment for the other kids to follow suit! Karen

i was brought up by my grandparents,and i called them mam jones,and dad jones...it caught on,cos the whole village started calling them the same. bryan.

My mum was Nan to my daug, hubbys mum is Nana! And she had 3 granda's Karen Unfortuately all my grandparent died before i was born so have no experience of what they would have been called.

What title do you use??? Also includes Gramps or Granddad?? Karen
