About this deal

Yaya: This is a popular grandma name for Greek families and lots of others around the world. It is easy for babies and toddlers to say and it sounds a lot like the word “yes,” which everyone knows is a grandma’s favorite thing to say to her brood! Gender-Neutral Grandparent Names According to French parish registers and civil status records, at the end of the 18th century, a little more than half of the grandparents were alive at the birth of their grandchild, a third when the child was 10 years old, and still 10% at 20 years old. [54] In rural France at the end of the 18th century, the majority of family systems were of the nuclear family type (grandparents did not cohabit in the family home, they were only welcomed there at the end of their lives). However, in regions such as Alsace, the west of Brittany, Occitania, or the Savoy region, the systems were more complex, with the stem family in particular: the home housed a succession of family nuclei, the patriarch having authority over this home, which could lead to conflict. These cohabitations were therefore managed from the time of marriage by notarial acts that provided for "clauses of insupport" to share the domestic space and tasks in case of conflict.

Friend Found This In Grandma's House

Grandparents’ care is good for grandchildren, too. In parts of Africa the presence of a grandmother makes it more likely that a child will survive. In the rich world it is unclear whether the presence of grandparents boosts academic scores or social skills, but it certainly doesn’t hurt them. Granted, children raised solely by a grandmother do badly, but that is because their parents are presumably dead, in prison or absent for some other reason. Living with her is better than living with a stranger, or in an orphanage. A step-grandparent can be the step-parent of the parent or the step-parent's parent or the step-parent's step-parent (though technically this might be called a step-step-grandparent). The various words for grandparents at times may also be used to refer to any elderly person, especially the terms gramps, granny, grandfather, granddad, grandmother, nan, maw-maw, paw-paw (and others which families make up themselves). Abuela: The feminine match for Abuelo, used by Spanish-speaking families or those who descend from Spanish speakers. If your baby has multiple sets of grandparents and step-grandparents, you may want to use matching names for each couple, which have a certain ring to them and can certainly make things less confusing. Some examples: Gram and Gramps, Nanny and Pappy, Lolly and Pop. One caveat: There's always the possibility that you won't like what the grandparents come up with. "I asked my mother-in-law what she wanted to be called and she chose Mommy. That is not happening!" says one BabyCenter mom.

If you like the sound of Grandma but just want to put your own little spin on it, these names have the same sounds you'll find in the word "grandma," but gussied up to be much cuter. They still have that classic, traditional feel to them. Monserud MA. Continuity and change in grandchildren's closeness to grandparents: Consequences of changing intergenerational ties.

The grandparents-to-be might also want to try out a nontraditional Grandpa or Grandma name that sets them apart and feels less, well, grand-parentish. More thoughts on that below…

Nini: Taking the opening N from the word nonbinary, this is a sweet gender-neutral grandparent name to suggest.

Grandfather: The highly traditional family might love the historic feeling of this more formal grandpa name. And then you have Amy Finklestein. Tommy, her only grandchild, couldn’t say Grandma, a moniker she wasn’t thrilled with anyway. “So when he heard everyone else call me Amy, he just did the same — so Amy it is,” she says. Her husband Howard is Oward. “It’s very cute and funny.” Doyle M, O’Dywer C, Timonen V. “How can you just cut off a whole side of the family and say move on?” The reshaping of paternal grandparent‐grandchild relationships following divorce or separation in the middle generation. Family Rel. 2010;59(5):587-98. doi:10.1111/j.1741-3729.2010.00625.xGrandparents are changing their roles in contemporary world, [9] especially as they are becoming increasingly involved in childcare. According to a 2012 study based on 2010 census and survey data, around 10% of children in the U.S. live in a household including a grandparent. [10] Of these, approximately a third live in a household consisting of two parents and a grandparent. [10] Likewise, more than 40% of grandparents across 11 European countries care for their grandchildren in the absence of the parents. [11] In Britain, around 63% of grandparents care for their grandchildren who are under 16 years old. [11] Grandparent involvement is also common in Eastern societies. For instance, 48% of grandparents in Hong Kong reported that they are taking care of their grandchildren. [12] In China, around 58% of Chinese grandparents who are aged 45 or older are involved in childcare. [13] In Singapore, 40% of children from birth to three years old are cared by their grandparents and this percentage is still increasing. [14] In South Korea, 53% of children under the age of 6 years old are cared by their grandparents. [15] Therefore, grandparents taking care of their grandchildren has become a prevalent phenomenon around the world.

Perhaps your parents and in-laws aren't the best namers, or maybe you just prefer to name them yourself. No problem – take the reins! To be sure, many still opt for the traditional Grandma and Grandpa (and their close cousins, Grammy, Gramsie, Nana, or Grampy, Papa, Poppy, Pop Pop, and so on). “There are some individuals who cherish memories of grandparents who they felt exceptionally close to,” says Dr. Klausner, “and relish the tradition of transitioning into this new phase of life.” Janmaat JG, Keating A. Are today’s youth more tolerant? Trends in tolerance among young people in Britain. Ethnicities. 2019;19(1):44–65. doi:10.1177/1468796817723682 Grandy: This super-cute grandparent name can be given to a grandmother, grandfather, and any grand who prefers their name to be free of gender. In the cities of the 19th century, there was generally no cohabitation (with the exception of noble families and their lineage logic, a model that declined after 1850), but bourgeois families often housed all the family branches in the same building (they met with their grandparents at the family home during cousinades) while in the working class, grandparents lived in the same neighborhood, family solidarity remaining strong: the mother working outside the home, the children were often cared for by the grandparents.
