Just had an interesting conversation with someone about the many different names people call their grandmothers.
I always called my grandmother "nana"
What about you ?

Va-Vo Portuguese for Grandmother. She was the coolest person and the greatest cook. My Dad's mom died 3 months after I was born so that side never materialized. I'm the oldest of all the grandkids so I was the only one she ever got to see from her 6 kids. Lost both of them to cancer.Last edited by megocrazy; May 14, '09, 9:13 AM.It's not a doll it's an action figure. -
Father's side it was Grandma & Grandpa. Mother's side it was CoCo & PawPaw.
My kids call theirs (mine) Grandmama & Grandpa and (wifes) Nana & Granddad.Last edited by ScottA; May 14, '09, 10:48 AM.sigpic WANTED: Boxed, Carded and Kresge Carded WGSHComment

When they were alive Mom's side = Granny Dad's side = Grandma
My kids call my Mom Granny (carry on the tradition) and my wife's mom is Grandma.

Owa because we could not pronounce Lola for my dad's side.
Wawasit for my mom's side, because we could not pronounce Lolasit.
My kids call my mom Nanay (which means Mom in Tagalog)
and Gogo for their dad's mom (which means grandmother in Kalenjin).Those who look outside dream. Those who look within awake.

I didn't know my father's mother she passed away before I was born, so I only had one grandmother and I called her Mamaw. Both grandfathers I called Papaw.
My son picked this up and refers to his grandparents as such, but my daughter is calling her grandmother "Me-me".
