    My daughter calls my step-mom and MIL "Mamaw" - I'm not a huge fan of the name, but the older grandkids (on both sides) had already started using it, so it stuck. Her first babysitter, who is like an adopted grandmother, is also Mamaw.

    My mom is "Grandma" - my daughter is her only grandkid, so we got to pick the name :bigsmile:

    I am a grandmother to five (#6 on the way)........

    @ the beginning, I went by the generic "GRANDma"

    but as my relationship with all of them grew, each set of grandkids

    started their own a term of endearment

    One set calls me "Grandma Loves Me"
    and the other calls me "Gummie"


    THOSE names are the most special= when they're ones *they* pick, not me.

    We are generations of "Nana"s - no grandmas in my family. When my daughter had kids I became Nana and I tried to get my mom to take on Grandma or even G-Nana. She would have no part of it, so she is "the other Nana" if my grandkids are with me and I am "the other Nana" if they are with her! When we are all together we are both just Nana..........

    Nana ( My Mom picked this because she felt it was a "younger" sounding grandma name - she was a grandma at a very young age ) And, it fits her.

    Grandma - is my MIL.

    Mom-Maw - is my grandma that lives in the country.
