I always thought grandma was Famoa and Mamoa
In Danish grandmother is Bedstemor but Bedste for short.

I have heard of Famour and MorMor but I think it depends on fathers side or mothers side..... :0)

Yes, Famoa is Fathers mother and Mamoa is Mothers mother and FaFa is fathers father and MaFa is mothers father that's why it would be gramma and grampa. Bedstemore is the more formal form. At least on Jutland.

The Bon comes from my name Bonnie...the Bean comes from my nickname since I was a kid...was a tall skinny kid and dubbed greenbean...shortened to Beanie...then down to Bean as an adult...the 01 comes from the fact that when I first started with the internet I rarely used it...had bonbean and forgot my password...LOLOL...to get a new one had to change my name, hence the 01.

My family has sent me cards and mail addressed to bonbean or to just "bean" and it gets here...stupid nickname...bean sounds so gassy :rolleyes:

Yours I already knew. You are right, it is pretty easy and simple. :)

@Queen Mum
I figured yours out pretty quick. I love that doe. She is one big girl.

Mine is my farm name Glen Mar Farm. The name Glen Mar was named after my best friends mother Glenna and my Grandmother Margaret.
The both passed away within a year of each other. They were really cool ladies.

Hmm, how to explain Sky Warrior?

Okay, this has been my handle since way back in the early 90s. Since then, it has been the name of my sled dog kennel and now my publishing company, Sky Warrior Book Publishing LLC. (www.skywarriorbooks.com)


And there you go.
