an infant or toddler decides what we will be called for the rest
our lives.

Emmy
My daughter didn't want my granddaughter to call me Grammy so....Emmy
was the only nickname that i ever had and it was given to me by
my late Father. Not only sweet but touching i think.

Ebi and Oji
Our entire family are ardent sushi fans and we liked the Japanese
word "Oji" for Grandfather. However, Grandmother in Japanese
was too difficult so we came up with "Ebi" which is actually
Sushi shrimp and it works great!

Frauna
I have twin three-year-old granddaughters, and while they could
both say 'grandma', Abby one day started calling me "Frauna."
I loved it then and I love it now! she calls her other grandma "nonnie",
so we each have our own name.

Fi Fi
My aunt (only 8 yrs. my senior) called my grandfather DaDa, which
I so aptly pronounced "Fa Fa", and eventually evolved
into Fi Fi (sounds like "popeye".
