Congratulations! Now you need to decide what you are going to |
|
be called. Grandma, Nana, Grammy, Gigi�. There are dozens of |
|
nicknames out there. |
|
We had an Oma in our family (German nickname). |

Mazal tov! I'm so happy for you. |
|
I wouldn't put too much thought into what you want to be called. |
|
The first grandchild names the grandparents, and often, no |
|
matter what anyone told them to call you, it ends up being |
|
MooMoo or something. And you love it. |
|
One of my friends' grandchildren call her "Happy." Another is |
|
"Q." |
|
In my case, I had neither a choice nor a kid-created name. |
|
Nana, Grandma, and Bubbie are all "taken" in our family. I |
|
figured the Jerusalem grandmother would be Savta (Hebrew for |
|
Grandmother), so I thought maybe I could be Granny -- it sounds |
|
so cheerful, like a Granny Smith apple. Nope. Jerusalem |
|
grandmother, who is originally from Iran, is Mamani, the Farsi |
|
word for grandmother (grandfather is Babajoon), and my daughter |
|
informed us we would be Savta and Saba -- I didn't even get a |
|
vote! I was kind of waiting for the first kid to come up with |
|
something else, but he didn't. But as you can imagine, it's the |
|
sweetest sound in my ear now. |
|
The only downside is that every public place is full of little |
|
voices calling "Savta!" so I'm always turning around. |

It's so funny that whenever I tell someone that I'm going to be |
|
a grandma, after congratulations and all that they ask me "What |
|
do you want to be called?" |
|
I always thought I'd leave it up to the child to call me |
|
whatever they want to. |
|
With my DDs I would have liked for them to call my parents Oma |
|
and Opa. But they already had an Oma and Opa (their great |
|
grandparents, who were still alive.) |
|
DDs ended up calling their grandparents Grandma and Grandpa. |
|
When we (parents) talked about one of their grandparents we used |
|
Grandma FirstName. |
