Looking for a cool GRANDparent name? Check these out.
The most important rule for new grandparents to follow is to not criticize the parents for the name they choose. That will forever and always create a wedge between you and the young parents.
Do not laugh or gasp when they tell you the baby name.
This generation’s choices are different than yours. When your kids announce they want to name the baby “Apple,” your response must be positive (“Wow!” is always a good answer.) Practice this in advance! I was told about one grandmother who received a call from the new dad as soon as the baby was born. He told her the birth went fine and announced they had named the baby Horatio. Her knee-jerk reaction was to blurt out “You’ve got to be kidding.” Luckily, her son has a sense of humor — but she’s still living that down.
