Hopefully, In a few months, I will find out that I'm going to be a grandma........and we were talking at work, what we all called our grandmas...mine was Naunie, my mom is grandma, and her sister is MiMi to her grandchildren and greatgrands as well.
What did you all call your grandmothers?

I called my grandma-grandma and as for my daughter she is trying to say grandma, but the only words that come out of her mouth is ma :) .
 
I called my grandmother OMA, since Indonesia was a dutch colony at one time and that's the dutch word for grandma. My mother is now oma to my sons, my mom-in-law is grandma.
 
we called our grandma Smith, or Grandma Jones etc. to distinguish from each other
 

one was a nana .....and the other side was the memere.......I am a gramma......I love it......I dont want the D in it....just gramma .....the kids started it and that is it.....
 
my mom's parents- Nanny & Pop
Dad's parents died before I was born

My DD's call....

My mom mimi
my dad was grampy

DMIL is Grammy
DFIL is Papa

Brandy
 
One is grandma and the other is Nanna Mae. My DH's are Abuelita (and then their first names)
 
I had a Nana and a Grammy. My DS has a Nana and a Grammy. DH's grandmother was called Ma, by all of her children, and all 150+ of her grands, greats, and great-greats.
 
One was grandma, and the other is yiayia (which is Greek for grandmother)
 
my Italian grandmother I called Nona and my Irish grandmother I called Nannie.
 
Both of mine were Grandma, but one of my Great Grandma's was Grammy. My mom wanted my kids to call her Grammy, but they would never do it.

On the other hand my Grandpa calles my kids "The Great Ones"
 
It was nothing good that I would call her.

I'll leave it at that :mad:

My grandmas "Maw Maw"
My great-grandma was "granny"

For DS:
My mom is "MeMe"
My MIL is "Granny"
 
Grandmom.

DH and his siblings called their Grandmom the same thing.
 
I called one grandma and one nana. My kids have a grandma (mil) and a nanny (my mom)
 
Mine were Gram and Nana. My DH calls my Dad, "Pa" because she never could say grandpa when she was a baby. She is now 8 but still calls him "Pa".
