By the way, none of the names really appealed to me so far, so keep posting!!!!

Congratulations Strika!
Now you have someone to buy one of those hot little new 250's for!
(Is he old enough to ride yet??

)
I reckon you should consult with your own kids on what the grandkids should call you......
you will find that your own offspring usually have a whole pile of great names that they call you behind your back (most of them you won't even know the meaning of!)

Congrats Marty! But I thought there was a law that prevented you from reproducing for the good of all man kind?
I wish you, and the new additions to your family all the best!

Congratulations Strika!

My parents (known as Grandpa and Nanna to my niece and nephews) love being Grandparents, all the benefits with none of the tears!
Mum's parents are/were Grandpa & Grandma Rocky - their surname is/was actually Stephensen, but they got Rocky on account of the pet Boxer, called Rocky! Mum's grandmother (my great-grandmother) was Nanna.
My father's mother was Grandma Cathy (although that wasn't her name either), Dad's youngest sister Aunty Cathy was still living at home when we were very young, and we obviously came to associate one with the other.
One of the guys at work has been christened by his grand-daughter "Boppo", which is really cute. His nickname is Boddo, comes from his surname of Boddington. The grand-daughter heard everyone calling him Boddo, which she confused with Poppy, and it came out Boppo and has stuck ever since.
