OMG Just call me granny Jane

My daughter is pregnant and that makes me a grandma to be. How awesome is that!!Me and Tommy is just smiling these days. So the big question is what to be called. That is what I am being hit with. My two choices is Gran or Nanny. Any other suggestions? We thought about Pop for Tommy. I am not in favor of mamaw or granny because I am only 39. Whatever. I will be proud of whatever I am sure. I know I don't want Mimi nana granny meemaw mawmaw grandmother I even thouht about just Nan. I also thought about Janie. My name is Jane and that would be like a nickname for my grandkids. Just excited---can youtell?? Love ya Jane

I like Nanny or Nanna and I'd go with Poppy for Tommy. The little folks next door call their Daddy Poppy and I do too cause I think it's so cute. Congratulations! I am so excited for you! I LOVE babies!!! smoochies Arlies PS you are already Janie to me!

Congratulations Jane. I am happy for you an Tommy! I like MIA - Pronounced ME-UH like SEEYA I like OMA (long O) and Papa I like Bomma (Sounds like Momma with a B)... You are not a granny or meemaw or mawmaw and grandmother is too stiff sounding...

There is nothing more precious than those grandbabies. They are so much fun! The best part is being able to spoil them then send them home to their parents. Our granddaughter calls me Nonnie and my husband is pa. She is 18 months and can't say grandpa yet so she just calls him pa.

Know you said you don't prefer Nana but I think thats pretty. My DH's mom is Nana to our kids. Mamaw is my mom & they call both grandfathers "papaw". I wanted my dad to be called Papa cuz thats what we called the only grandfather I knew, but my DH had a problem with it saying "it means father"....so what!!! Not sure if this is "old timey thing" but my mom called her mother "mother" her father "daddy" & her paternal grandparents were Mama Jo & Papa Charlie (their first names). My aunt goes by Gammy cuz the first grandchild couldn't say grandma. HTH!

Thats great news. I was 32 when I became a grandparent. All my three grandchildren call me Nana. Wanda Weimer

Jane!!! WOOHOO!!! CONGRATS!!! I was just telling my friend the other day to assure me that grandchildren are worth having to raise these kids somedays! LOL I can tell from your excitement that they are! My friend was a young grandmother and her grandkids always called her GG, GiGi, not sure how she spelled it, I just remember thinking it was cute and I would remember that for my grandparenting days.

Oh congrats Jane! I can only imagine how thrilled you are....As far as the names, looks like you have all of them covered. My kids call my husband's mom Grammy but that may be a little "old" sounding for such a young chick like you! Of course you could do like Claire Huxtilbe on The Cosby Show and want to be called "Mother, The Sequel...hahaha...Seriously though, I am so excited for you and you will be a wonderful grandmother...Congrats again!
