Grandad.Malky Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 We are soon to become grandparents so what should the little one call us? Nan , Gran, Grandma Grandad, grandpa, pop, pa What common terms are used these days, before any comic says it yes I know we will be known as “ Bank of Nan and Grandad” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandad.Malky Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 The mrs nominated herself as nan when our daughter had our grandson ! I think that’s what the wife will go for and I will probably end up as Grandad, I just wondered if any trendy terms had crept in ……. Can you have trendy grandparents?
