What do you think? Who decided on grandparents' names in your family?
And what are you called?

My daughter-in-law asked me what I would like to be called. I chose "nanny" as that is what my children used to call my mother when she was alive. I was very pleased that I was asked as to me, it gave me a chance to keep the memory of my mum alaive within the family. The last thing I wanted to be called was "grandmother" or "grandma" simply because these names did not bring happy memories.
Talk to your son / daughter and if a particular "name" has happy memories for you, ask that you be addressed by that name and give the reasons why. The baby will grow up knowing, when they hear that name, that it means you.
