Share on linkedin Sunday is Mother's Day, a day to celebrate moms and also grandmasWhile "Grandma" still reigns supreme in many families, other names are becoming more mainstream, according to a BabyCenter poll conducted for Axios."The most common nicknames for grandmas include Nana, Gram, Mimi and Gigi. … Nicknames that are simpler for young children to articulate endure the test of time," says Rebekah Wahlberg, baby name trends specialist at BabyCenter.
Nearly 3 in 4 parents with a baby 6 months old or younger say the grandparents in their child's life chose their nicknames, according to Everyday Health Group research, Wahlberg tells Axios.When my granddaughter was lying in her mom's arms at two months, I walked in to hear my daughter proclaim, "Here comes danger." Now, my granddaughter calls me Danger.
Grandma names can also be traditional — the same names could be used in your family for generations — or based on where someone lives. For example, Bastida knows someone whose mom is a "Mom-Mom," a nickname that's "a thing in Southern New Jersey."of cultural names, which make up just a slice of the many ways people all over the country — and beyond— address their grandparents.
Omi was my dad's grandmother in Germany. Now, I'm a grandmother myself, and my three beautiful grandchildren call me Omi. —Our daughter's moniker for her maternal grandmother is Abi, short for Abuela. —The Yiddish word for grandmother is Bubbie, so my mother, Bobbie, went by Bubbie Bobbie.
