One of the biggest decisions a grandparent can make is deciding what they want their grandkids to call them. In Wales there are a whole host of names we use to refer to our grandparents – from nain and taid or mamgu and tadcu to nanny and bampi or gran and grampa.
We asked our readers what they call their grandfathers and got a wide range of responses with some very moving stories of how their granddad got their 'name.' Many readers got in touch to say that their grandfathers took on a paternal role in their lives and so became 'Dad' rather than 'Granddad.'
Sheila Griffiths told a moving story of how her grandfather got his name: "I called my Grandfather 'Daddy'. My Dad was dead so my grandfather took on the role of a father to me and I couldn't have wished for a better one. Miss him still."
