very special to all of us...i simply do not want to use any of those names....(no i'm not one of those yet...but i'm sure it's not far off) what i was thinking was...i would love to hear some foriegn names of the granparent...i remember hearing some in my youth and thinking how pretty they sounded, i just can't recall them....please go for it and let me know what yours are, and, of course any creative names would be appreciated. (not TOO creative...lets be respectful ;)

It's nice to think that you can actually choose what the kid will call you, but no matter what you tell them to call you, as a toddler, they will get out whatever they can and continue to call you that forever

I used to think like this before I had any, When the first was born wanted a different name or even special nick name but 12 years on I don't mind at all being called Nan

I searched and selected "Noni" short and sweet. My Husband is Papa.
My Mom had been dubbed "Grannie" (we live in the south)
by my Sister in Laws, and she was never very fond of it.
So I chose mine the minute my Daughter was Pregnant.
Good Luck with your choice.

In Germany, they use "Omi" or "Oma"
I have some Irish friends who use "Poppa" for Grandad - bit like mine was Grandpop
