I was the second of 23 grandchildren and I tried to say Grandma, but the closest I got was "Gig". Her children-in-law adopted this name for her as they had Mums of their own, (and you didn't call your mother-in-law by her christian name in those days) so it followed that their children called her that too. Her husband was Pop. My other grandparents were Granny and Grandfather.

My grandchildren all call me Nanna and my children-in-law call me by my christian name.

I only knew my grandmothers and both were called 'Granny'.
My mum is 'Nana' and I am 'Granny maggie', aka 'Grrrandmamamamama'. Grand daughters other granny is 'Nana 'Net'. My ex is 'Pop' or 'Poppa'. Not sure what my grand daughter calls her other grandad.
