I called my grandmother "Gaga" since I couldn't pronounce "grandma." I wish I were as sanguine about my nicknames--they called me "Missy" and I solved that problem by refusing to answer to it.
Oh, I hope I have them! My guess is I'll get called "Oma" because that's German for grandma and my kids grew up in Germany. What I want? Whatever cute thing they come up with!
Nicknames are common in the Philippines. My isn’t is Chic-Chic or just Chic for short. This came about because my grandfather used to call me his little chickadee. Repeated nicknames like mine are also common. Thank you for sharing!
The nicknaming of grandparents interests me. My paternal grandparents were named “Mumsie and Poppie.” My maternal ones were “Grandma and Grandpa K,” because of their last name (Kloska).

When you have grandkids, what do you want them to call you?

Grandmas sometimes insist on nicknames . . . so people won't know they're grandmas! (As if!) Hence my mother was "Meh-meh" to my sons.
In college I was called Cleo ( mostly by a group of men who l played bridge with), I
wore my hair then in a shorts page boy and bangs
My dad call me Jake - I didn’t mind
My boy cousins and their friends called me Jackson affectionately.
My daughter is the only female who gave me a nickname- Mamooshka or Mamushki.
You are rich in nicknames, Cleo!
Nicknames are the sign of love. Aren't we very fortunate if we have one!
