Vote on my grandma name (Poll)
So, for those of you who live in Outer Mongolia and/or don't pay attention to tickers, I'm gonna be a grandma. For those of you who are nosy, yes, I'm too young. I will be 38 in August, but that's what happens when you have babies young, so I can live with it.
That said, what I can't live with is being called "Grandma". It's not working for me at all. "Grandma" has grey hair and bakes cookies and is waaaay sweeter than I will ever be. So I'm going to need a new name.
My current (step)grandkids refer to me as "Emmy", but I'm not religiously attached to that for this one, since (s)he (pleeeeease be a girl, little appleseed baby!) will be different in that (s)he will be a biological grandkid.
So now that I've rambled your leg off, here's the poll:

I voted for Nan. We have always called my Mom's Mom Nanny or Nan for short. You can sometimes even find greeting cards with it on. A friend of mine's Mom likes to be called "G" instead of grandmom but I hate it, I think it's trying to be too modern/cool. I say stick with something a little more traditional but that's just my opinion.
Also, GiGi sounds like a yappy little dogs name to me, I don't know why lol
Eima!
I think Emmy is adorable!
Plus, my grandmother is Grammi to me and my sister. Then our younger cousins came along and started calling her Nanny. It kind of screwed everything up. She will sometimes sign cards that she sends to me, "Love, Nanny and Papa," and will have to go back and fix it. Not to mention that she makes signs for her yard (among other things) that say Nanny's house...and it kind of bugs me in a very immature way
So...for simplicity sake...my vote is Emmy.
Megan & Chris
That would actually p*ss me off too lol
I think I think Emmy the best.
I also like Nana, which is a s/o of Nan.
I also think Mimi is adorkable!!
so I vote any of those 3 (I didn't vote in your clicky b/c I couldn't decide)

Emmy actually comes from the way my step-granddaughter said Erin when she first met me. It came out more like "Em", and the "-my" just kind of got added along the way. Plus, Em is a young adult nickname of mine, based on my previous married initials (EM)
