  I am not a goat, but I am a battleaxe....maybe baba-B suits!
  
  I am also relieved that the names suggested for the baby currently are lovely with not a Chardonnay or Chip on the radar...........

  Congratulations Bern.
  
  Grand-Ma Bern sounds good to me.
  
  My mum in law wanted to call our baby Poppy, those who know my full name will laugh

  I am with Sue on names I refused to be likened to a goat and became Grandma.
  
  The big problem we had was when I became a greatgrandma as there was another so I settled for GG without the 'ees' when written, I am not a horse either.
