What do you call yours?

That's right, your relatives.

Is it mum, mummy, mumsy poos, father, daddy, papa?

And grandparents, how do you differentiate?

And if you're lucky enough to have great grandparents it gets even more complicated. Do you use their first names, where they live or maybe have a special name just for them?

My parents are mum and dad to me. All my grandparents were grandma or grandad. Grandfather or grandmother was too formal and we never used the word nan as my mum has an irrational hatred of it. We used to say grandad-in-London or grandma-in-Wombourne to work out who we meant.

For my own kids we say Stinky grandma if we mean my mother in law but for the others it's where they live.

Great grandparents are described by where they live.

How about you?

I know that sadness I think I'm musing on it as it's my grandad's funeral next week.

It just struck me that we might have been odd to use where grandparents live to work out which ones you mean. So if one phoned and your mum passed you the phone would she say it's grandad Steve, or its your grandad in Glasgow, or even it's bald grandad

This is quite interested, being from Indian heritage we have different names for paternal / maternal sides of the family including uncles and aunts. So you instantly know which side of the family is being spoken about

That's so sensible. I do feel I miss out by only speaking one language. There's so many words in other languages that describe things in better ways. If you haven't got the word for it you can't say it.

You will maybe need a knowledge of the Doric accent to get my post here - it's Mam (sometimes mither) and Dad (or min) for my parents. For my father's parents it's was Grunny and Granda, and for my mother's parents it was Granny and Granda, subtle difference, but very obvious to us.

My Grandparents were named after where they lived. I never, ever referred to them by their given names - not to them, not to family or friends. When my Grandparents became Great Grandparents to my son and daughter, they kept their moniker of Grandad K***** etc. We never really bothered adding the "Great".

My Dad has inherited the Grandpa B********* location-based name that I used to use for his parents, because he lives in the same town. My mother is persona non grata. Mr KC's parents are referred to by their given names, Grandma L** and Grandad L****.

My children call my friends "Auntie XYZ" etc, which is a pretty traditional thing, I think?

I'm Mama to my daughter, Mum to my son (or Mother, if he wants something). Mr KC is Dada or Daddy to our daughter and my son has always used his given name (he's stepdad to my son).
