Dear Grock sorry to hear about your holiday, but just think, it could have been a lot worse, you could have been stuck up there with me.

Congratulaions on your family extension Grock, i will leave it to someone else to come up with an approprite name for you to use, as anything i could think of would probably not be polite.

What do you think the chances are of you winning a glamorous granny contest then Grock.

Congratulations Grock,
Thats wonderful news.

i allways call the mother in law "GM" she thinks its short for grandma,

Grockie

would seem to be a suitable title.

aww lovely news
i have no idea of a glam young gran name!
LILY HAS A GRANDMA-AKA GANNNMAAAA AND A NANNY AKA GOAT!
Oh you are soooo rude!

We have a great grannie who lives in a village called Gress, so we all call her 'G-G' a dual purpose abbreviation for Great Grannie or Grannie Gress - the little ones could say "Gee Gee" before they learnt Mummy or Daddy!! You could be 'Grannie Grock' with the same abbreviation
If you say it with a hint of a French accent it might even sound vaguely glamorous

Why not Grandma or Nana? If you've earnt it - be proud of it. I hate to be called Ms. It's cost me a fortune and a very happy lifestyle to be Mrs and I'm very happy to be called it.

My brother and sister in law insist on their children and grandchildren calling them by their first names, rather than Mum and Dad, etc. Why? They say it makes them feel old. What could be better than being a parent or grandparent?

Congratulations Grock, you must be very proud.

My grandmother is called Oma (German for grannie) and Tim's children call their grandmother Nonna (Italian for grannie),
even though both grandmothers happen to be English.

Congratulations Grockma

You may well find that grandchildren are more trouble than children, but at least you can send them to their mother when you've had enough

NAIN (N Wales)
MAM-GU (S Wales)

But here's a useful list you probably won't want to choose from:

Congratulations! As a new grandmother myself I went with the flow. First name Ann, husband calls me Annie, I'm Granny Annie. I never wanted to be a 'Granny' but don't care now! You may well find a pet name emerges anyway. Just make sure they know what a vegetable is!

Grockie......

Creeping Jesus and his wife are called Mops and Pops. Is this any better or not?

How about "Glassic"?
A Classic is usually an old crock so .....

What Grock really needs is a non fluffy granny name. Grock is not really a fluffy person. Difficult to be fluffy when a girl has so many scales

I've just spoken to her so will have a think over night to see what I come up with. Now my bestest mate is a granny, i'll have to start driving her for her shopping

Well if grock doesn't like fluffy granny names, how about, the hag, old bag, or even Grockodile. i don't think they seem very fluffy.
