If you are looking for a name for grandchildren to call you, you may find that they choose one themselves! My oldest grandchild tired of calling me Granny 'Roni' and abbreviated it to "Groni"!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I always called my grandmother, Mi-Lou!. Her name was Louise, and she felt too young to be called grandmother so she was always, Mi-Lou!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
