Hi!

My mum is going to be a nan in 7 months time and we were thinking of names for my brother´s kid to call her (we hate the usual English words like Grandma and Nan!) so, we would like the turkish name(s) for grandmother, nan etc...

Thanks!!

 what about babaanne,büyukanne,anneanne,cicianne?

old times: nine.. nene..

 Good choices...

babaanne = mother of the father,

aneanne =  mother of the mother,

büyukanne = great grandmother (I think...correct me if I´m wrong)

Büyükanne  is just anothe word for grandmother - I think great-grandmother is Büyük büyük-anne or büyük nine

You will probably not believe this but I remember the mother of my grandmother.

I would call her koca babaanne meaning grand grand mother.  The story would get even more weird if I told you I  remember her mother too.  Strangely, we call her with her name plus nine and not as koca koca ...
