My nickname is buttonnose, courtesy of my father ...
I refer to the baby as "bub" at the moment and as a grandmother I refer to myself as, "nannynoo" ...
However, I'm sure my granddaughter will find the right words to refer to me as, when she finally talks ...
Thanks for caring Windy3 ... You are a "trouper", as we refer to a true blue Aussie and friend ...
We could all do with more of them ...
Colleen ... xo

Colleen ... xo i have a little bunch of co-incidences to throw back in your court: My British friend who married a Canadian, also in Manly - LOL ... and having fallen in love with both Sydders and Oz,[even after years in beautiful Cape Town on her part],... now live in St Ives [in Sydders] and nicknamed their daughter "button" -'coz cute as, of course! my little sis began being also called bub, which turned into babs then Babsy ... pronounced bupsy ... which, as soon as she could, informing all of us to desist calling her that and reverted back officially to her French birth name: Sylvia. was a huge jump for us sib's esp to make the change after nearly 2 decades of calling her and knowing her as 'Babsy'. Has taken about a decade to feel like we are talking about the same person when we use either - but when she dosen't hear us, it is probably more often back to the nickname. Maybe her fiance/husband at the time had something to do with it, given he pretty much locked her away in a very blingy golden cage - with no door left unlocked to our neck of the woods, sadly. But I digress again ... ; ) lastly, but not least, I really really like your nickname "nannynoo" ... my best friend since second year in high-school has a daughter called Nicole and her n'name is Noo --- we all call her that .... and my half-sis [same french dad - hence the Nicoles] also called Nicole is called by us Nicole, but pronounced Nickole, not with the weight on the 'ole' as in Oz and 'most elsewhere too. I only know NK as 'nic'[came from Tom, sorry to say it ;)]... but it suddenly strikes me that with all the Nicoles in my own immediate fam-circle, it is no wonder I resonate on some level,[who knows which - I suppose having been born on the "day of curiosity, Mar 23, it is simply that: basic human intrigue] with Nicole, Oz' fave daught'. so I like "noo" for you too, nannynoo, also if you use your deepest Irish accent it could be like "NO!!" ... you know how the irish would say it ... like saying nor![meaning most definitely 'no'... such as, you can't paint the walls with that ketchup! or a question: is my mom a ratbag? noo! I saw on TV last night a program: "Hollywood's Hottest Blondes" .... and there was Steve Irwin giving his 'take' on a bunch of the girls: he LOVED Farah Fawcett, loves 'our' Charlize, Shaparova, and several others - good taste, Irwin ... he was SO funny .... raving about these bunnies --- well I am now one too - not on THE list, but then hell, no point cryin' nic was not on there either - even tho bottle ones like me are on there ... also Beckham, the second male there with Brad. MMMMMGH I have SO gone off-topic .... **flash**bulbs*** LEMON ME!! """ ' """ '''

Hello to all,
I find it fasinating how we all have different names for "Grandmom". My daughter is also a Nicole, but we call her Nic and she spells her name Nikki against what I started which was Nicki..oh well, can't win all the battles with the children. My Nikki at a very young age started calling my Mom, "Ma" and it stuck. Until her death all the grandchildren called her "Ma", as you all know she has passed now-God love her!
Colleen we are also Irish background with my maiden name being "Clare" and a county in Ireland is called "County Clare", very interesting to look up ones history eh? I do know my grandpa immigranted and landed in Newfoundland and eventually found his way to Ontario in the North. My dream all my life is to go to Ireland and Australia. I hope God will bless me with the chance to go before my day is done.
Wishing I was there is Oz with ya mate,
Lots of Love Urbangirls,

My Irish ancestors (Byrne) hailed from County Kildare and where sent as convicts to Australia as political activists in January 1800 ... After sometime in the colony they where received a pardon and where among a small group of convicts to be given parcels of land at the Rocks in Sydney ... There was an archaelogical dig done at the site which received much publicity at the time and featured the living standards and artefacts extracted from where the original habitants lived ... Today the names of the convicts and the story of the dig is featured on the security fencing that surrounds the site ...
Thankfully, one of my relatives puts endless years of love and committment into the details of our ancestors and their lives and journey from Ireland to Australia ... It took her 15 years to compile and publish the family story she called, "Irish on the Rocks" ...
A super effort ...
Colleen ...

Tammy D. I forgot, my friend whose daughter is Nicole [Noo] had a fourth child called Nicholas and they call him 'Nic'. Our gran we called Oumis ... which means 'old miss'- never heard anyone else called that. She always referred to herself as 'your old oumis'. I would love to go to Ireland. Oh, I forgot, I did go there in the early 80's, but I want to go again!!

Colleen ... Great book title!!! nice double entendre! I love the Rocks area in Sydney - one of my fave spots there. still use some wooden colonial style clothes pegs I bought in a shop there! One of my favourite pieces of Oz furniture I have here is a turn of last century meat-safe.
