Her name is Jeanne (pronounced Jean) but the twins called her Nene because they couldn't really say Jeanne. So now Nene is her grandma name! Not that E can say it yet! :silly: cascademom on "If your LO made up their name for a grandparent..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-made-up-their-name-for-a-grandparent#post-1668998 Fri, 30 May 2014 12:37:25 +0000 cascademom 1668998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ LO calls my dad "Pop Pop." He got it from his cousin who also calls him that. The "Pop Pop" thing started with my nephews when they couldn't say "grandpa." So, it just stuck and LO's now using it.

I think it's cute, since her granpas are papa. mrs. wagon on "If your LO made up their name for a grandparent..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-made-up-their-name-for-a-grandparent#post-1668856 Fri, 30 May 2014 11:56:20 +0000 mrs. wagon 1668856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ The korean words for grandpa and grandma are hal-ah-buh-jee and hal-muh-nee.

I don't know where she got it from. Because it wasn't what we called them not what the other grandkids call them. She calls me mom "yeen ma" which I taught her. It's maternal grandmother in my dialect. yoursilverlining on "If your LO made up their name for a grandparent..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-made-up-their-name-for-a-grandparent#post-1668818 Fri, 30 May 2014 11:42:51 +0000 yoursilverlining 1668818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ LO made up her own names: Babas - grandpa (Sounds like) Gogwa - grandma Mommy Finger on "If your LO made up their name for a grandparent..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-made-up-their-name-for-a-grandparent#post-1668773 Fri, 30 May 2014 11:28:45 +0000 Mommy Finger 1668773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My nieces made up names for my mom.

Haha. Also, my grandmother was "Bom" because my oldest sister heard my mom calling her Mom and came up with that. Now what was really confusing was my grandfather on my dad's side was "Bompa" so when I was little, it was SO confusing because I automatically put Bom and Bompa together, haha.
