I'm going to be a grandma in September and I'm feeling a lil young for the name grandma(in my late 30's) and I'm undecided what to be called...any suggestions?
I always like to see what the kids come up with. My daughter calls my mom mo-mo. - TedW

My mom felt she was too young to be called grandma and she always told my son to call her princess. By the time he was two she was really upset that he wouldn't call her some variation of grandma. She learned her lesson and all the other kidletts call her noni. My son is now 12 and just to get her goat he will call her princess now and again. - PopcornYeti

I never liked nana because it reminds me of the dog in the Darling's bedroom in peter pan. Just go with grandma and make us actual old folks jealous. - Plumiegirl

I'd go with Grandma. Who cares about how old you are being a grandparent isn't about your age. - angryduck

My mom didn't want to be called Grandma either, so they call her Grammie. - DesperateMousewife

Quick story, my step mother is 20 yrs younger than my pops, when my son was little anytime the 3 of us were together people would always think her and I were a couple and my kid was her son. Got really confusing at times. She didnt like my son calling her grandma at first but it grew on her. Lol - donnievegas

When my oldest grandson started talking he would call me Mom because that's what my girls and son-in-law would call me. Many times I was asked if he was an Oops baby. It kinda hurt my daughter's feelings. When her 2nd son started talking we taught him to call me grandma. It took my oldest grandson a few weeks getting used to calling me grandma. Now my granddaughter calls me Grammy and she calls her other grandma Buddy. - Diznimom

my sister use to foster kids, so rather than calling the grand-parents, grandma or grandpa - they used Grand "G" and Grand "D" (the first initial of their first name) - its stuck... and its different. - rdaann

My mother felt the same way (she was 52 at the time though) and she insisted on being called "nana"...but she recently said that if she were to do it over she would just be grandma...my boys were confused for a while....didn't realize the nana equalled grandma. - ToshiStation
