    I am known as Oma to 20 grandkids. We were visiting Germany several yrs before our oldest GD was born & fell in love with the German's names for GP. She (now 25) our oldest GD started out really well with Oma but she could not get the Opa . She started calling DH Bump. So now we are called Oma & Bump to our 20 wonderful GC.

    I'm gramajo. My MIL was Grandma (last name). I needed something different, so I'm gramajo. My granddaughter couldn't say it so I was jojo for awhile. I thought it was cute & have it on my license plate. I couldn't get grandma, gramma or gramajo as they were already taken.

    'Grandma' - and my heart melts every time I hear my 3 and 4yr old grandsons call me this. They are fortunate to have both of us grandmas living close, so to distinguish us apart I am Grandma Blue Car (obvious) and their other Grandma is Grandma Poo Poo Poo (not so obvious). She was given this name because she has on old-fashioned tv with tubes, and when she turns it off it makes the sound of 'poo poo poo'.

    I'm glad to be the one with the car.
