My Grandma called me Duck. Rule 12 for the mods there.
Ye Ancestors.
Grandma and Grandpa, here. Never used Pappy… That seems…. Weird.
Nana & Grandad
Nan and Grandad on my Dad’s side
Grandma and Guvvy on my Mum’s side.
Not sure why the latter, was just something he was called, not even my parents are sure why he was called that.
Paternal grandparents: Grandma and Granddad
Maternal grandparents: Granny and Grandpa
Nanna and Grandda on my mums side and Grandma and Grandpa on my dad’s.
Mums side was granny and grandad.
Dads side is grampy and nanny
We used to call ours Grandma and Grandad
My grandad referred to his grandchildren by birth order, so I was Number One, my younger cousin was Number Two, etc. It was entirely affectionate, but I suppose it may have seemed a bit odd outside the family.

Nanny & Grandad or Nan when we got older. My dad’s mom we called her lots of things because under the trades description she was anything but a Nanny! Awful woman. Awful mother to my wonderful dad too sadly.
Mamgu and Tadcu,
Although, my parents are Nain and Taid to my nephew.
Nana & Papa Hen (Scotland)
Both just nan and grandad
My mums parents were called Pearl and Dean- I called them Grandma and Grandpa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-paaaa-PA!
nain and taid (rural N Wales)
Grew up in Rotherham and it was Nannan and grandad. Moved to Grimsby and my kids use Grandma and Grandpa.
Nana and Granda
Gran & Grandad
When I was a kid it was Nanny Round the Corner, who lived around the corner, and Nanny Up the Hill, who lived up the hill, but she later moved further afield and was then known as Nanny On the Bus
Bampi.
Granny & Granda
I’m a British Indian, so probably still count as British.

Part of the 7% for Gran checking in.
Probably explains why it’s always a bit of a pain to get a card each year with gran on.
Nanny and bampi. Didn’t see bampi on the list so wonder if this is just a Welsh thing.
Mamgu X and Grampy
*X = her actual name, not that she’s part of the Muslim brotherhood
