In a ball gown because that's how we roll in N. Devon

Completely random question, please help!

I'm trying to figure out which name for female relatives are used most...

Nanna, Nanny, Nana

And

Mum, Mummy, Mama

They need to begin with an N or an M, sorry Granny.....

I had a Nanny and still have a Nana, it was never Gran/Granny/Grandma.

I say Mum, Mummy, Moomin, Moomy, Mutha, and Ancient One to address the woman who have birth to me.

Mammina if she's being irksome/I'm winding her up, mum day to day. Mother if she's being embarrassing.

In terms of grandma I only use those beginning with G so not much use, sorry OP!

when bringing up toddlers, Mum was a given, But Nana always had a christian name suffix.

i.e. Nana X or Nana Y.

(You might feel christian names are a little to familiar for a 4 year old, but the Nana bit gives due respect).

I love the range of names, thank you everyone!

I'm going with Nan and Mum.

Making samples for mothers' day type gifts and I never know what's the best to go for, so I figured I'd ask y'all as we have such a wide range of people here in our community.
