I'm called Gangi. My mom (the great grandmom) is called Mummut.
Gangi is from the best TV show ever...Arrested Development. The Grandmother (Gangi) was a boozey lady who was self-absorbed, plastic surgery addicted...and just awful. That's me!0 -
We are a very diverse family.
Anishinaabe: Kookum
Cree: Nookum
English: Grandma
Icelandic: Amma
My neice also has a great grandmother that she calls Nana.
My father is her Mooshom. My step-father is her Afi.
She actually doesn't have any that she calls Grandpa. Weird that I just realized that?0 -
My daughter calls my mother "Grammie," and she calls her father's mother and her stepmother's mother "Grammie [first name]." She calls my bf's mother "Bammy," because that's what her other grandchildren have always called her.
I called both of my grandmothers "Grandma" and my great-grandmother was referred to as "Nana." My great-grandmother was from Italy and didn't speak much English, so that's why she got the Italian version. We weren't very creative.0 -
I always called all of my grandparents grandma or grandpa.
However to my daughter:
My mom is Nana
Her dad's mom is Grammy
My dad's mom is Grandma
My mom's mom is Mom Mom (this is what she started calling her on her own as a toddler, we now all call her this)
Her Step-grandma is Nana
Her dad's grandma is Mamaw
Her half-sister calls her grandma (Yaya)0 -
Ours are just Grandma and then their first name to differentiate as my mom and step mom have the same last name, but my nephew calls my mom G-momma as she's pretty young for a Grandma.0

My paternal grandmother was Granny, my maternal grandmother was Noni. My mother is Noni, my mother-in-law is mam-mam.
Not that you asked but my Paternal Grandfather was Papa, my Dad is Pappa Al and my father-in-law is Pappy.
My paternal grandfather passed before my Mother or Aunt had children.0 -

When i was born my grandma didnt want to go by grandma so she tried teaching me her name. Lila, I ended up calling her Lili (lie-lie) and when i was seven i started calling her grammie.0

My mom's mom was called Gammy, because it's close enough to Granny and Grandma without actually being either word.0
-
My kids call my Mom "Gwamma", because they couldn't say their R's for a while and it just stuck. My half-brother's grandma was called Granna. But my favorite is actually what my kids call my Dad... "Papa Cowboy" or "PC" for short, because my parents live on a ranch, have horses and cows, and ride horses. My daughter called him that and it stuck. Its so funny.0
-
Mine was Gamie. I really miss her! I couldn't pronounce R's well at the time...0
