Yes, it is still a Southern thing. Y’all have no idea how taxing the whole name game is when it comes to grandparents. My mother decided she was Granny Gooch. Don’t ask. I have no idea. Of course, my own grandmother was Gong Gong. I blame that on my brother as he was the one who named her. (He was 7 years older than me.) LG’s mom chose Mamsy. It fit. His grandmothers were Grandmother James and Meme. (Me-me NOT meem.) Me? I’m Jammie. Easy to say and it fits since I’m often in my PJs aka jammies at any given time on any give day. Still, I sorta wish there was a Grandparent Name Store. Have a great weekend, all!

My mom’s mom was Bran Bum, where I came up with that no one remembers, she was introduced as that, and her casket spray had that also.
My dad’s side Grandpa and Grandma Geno.
Yes, use southern folks like to name things especially vehicles . My Jeep is Crush as in Orange Crush, it’s color is called Omaha Orange, thou it looks more burnt orange to most.
Happy Friday, Silver🙂
I have ALWAYS named my vehicles! It is likely that Drover will be my last one as he runs beautifully, only has 68K miles despite being 16 years old. *blinkblink* Dear Lord! My SUV is old enough to gets it’s own driver’s license! ACK! *muppet flail* 😲
I only knew my mom’s mom and she was gram. My mom was nana to my boys. Hubs mom was Grandma Sloboda. To my grandson I am Grandma Vik.
Have a great weekend!
I love all the variations people and kids come up with for grandparental nicknames.
ROFL. I guess I’m boring. Both my grandmothers were Grandma :lastname: and my mom is Grandma Meissner or just Grandma. I doubt I’ll ever have grandkids, so it’s not a huge worry for me. If it happens, I’ll be Grandma Sanderson.
Ah, you northerners. 😉 Of course, Grandmother James was Grandmother James. Not Granny or Grandma and not “just” Grandmother but the whole thing–Grandmother James. 🙄
