When my daughter was born, my mom had the same issue!. She thought "granny" sounded so old!. So she decided she wanted to be Nana!. However, when my daughter started talking, "Nana" came out sounding like "Nina" (pronounced neena)!. It stuck!. Now 14 years later, my daughter still calls my mom Nina!. My mom loves it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It doesn't really matter since the kids will call you their version of what you come up with that you want to be called!. My daughter the first grandchild took her grandmothers name of choice "Meema' and called her 'Moome"!. It stuck and all the grand kids call her Moome!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

My grandson calls me Grammy!. I just waited and let him figure out what he wanted to call me on his own and he decided when he was about 18 months old that it was Grammy!. He could have called me anything he wanted and I wouldn't have cared!.!.!.!.!.!.grandmothers are like that!. lol

I don't see much wrong with grandma!. My nieces and nephews call me Uncle, and my hair is still curly and my eyes are still blue!. The wife doesn't love me like she used to do, but that's due to my drinking and carrying on with women in their 40's who have cute names!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
