Grandma suggestions (16)
alabamabebeBanks of the Warrior River, Alabama USA66 Threads 3 Polls 4,404 PostsI'm about to be a grandmother for the first time, and I'm looking for something a little different to be called. I'm open to anything, my ancestry includes a little of everything. I identify more with the Scot/Irish because that's my family name, but I also have everything from Native American to German mixed in. Give me some ideas from your country and heritage.

Elisi is the Tsalagi word for grandmother.
(Tsalagi being the Cherokee language)
It's also a term of respect. Cherokee children often call all adults and elders "grandmother" and "grandfather" as a term of respect.

I was 38 when I first became a Granny and was having none of such words 
He grew up calling me Trish and still does at 15.
He has since acquired 5 cousins and they are all growing up calling me Trish too - its so nice to just be their friend.
They know I am their Gran but more importantly, they know I am their friend and they can get away with more with me than their parents - we laugh and play and its amazing.
Congratulations

Hi Trish. I think that is so cool. They know you are their grandmother, but you also have a name. Grandmother or father is just a title, right.

I grew up calling my grandparents "Mamaw" and "Papaw". My great-grandparents were called "Big Mamaw (even though she was only 4'9" *Chuckle*)" and "Big Papaw" He was big too! ( He stood over 6 feet tall, yet they loved each other so much and had a beautiful marriage of 65 years 
).
Oma is a good German word for Grandmother as well.
