Editorial Reviews
Review
You Can Call Me Hoppa!- Choosing a Grandparent Name About.com Rating - 4 stars By Susan Adcox, About.com The Bottom Line You Can Call Me Hoppa! is a fun book for grandparents-to-be. If you are looking for meaningful analysis of why we call grandparents the names we do, don't look here. If you just want a sampling of grandparent names, along with some touching stories about grandparents and grandchildren, this book is just the ticket. Attractively designed and printed, it would be perfect as a gift to announce, Guess what! You're going to be a grandparent! Any grandparent who has ever struggled with choosing a grandparent name will enjoy You Can Call Me Hoppa! by Lauren Charpio. The book contains around three hundred grandparent names, but the main message is that grandparents should not feel restricted to the traditional names, but feel free to choose or develop a name that is uniquely their own. For example, one surfer grandfather opted for 'Grand-dude'. Of course, grandchildren sometimes have something to say about what they will call their grandparents. One grandfather who had decided to be called 'Pop Pop' ended up being called 'Bop Bop' won over in part by the cute little dance his granddaughter would do when she said it. One section deals with the names traditionally used by different cultures and nationalities. From the Hawaiian 'Tutu-wahini' for a grandfather to the German 'Grossmutter' for a grandmother, this section is rich in possibilities for those connected, however tenuously, to a particular culture. One new grandmother who used to be a French teacher chose the French term 'Memere' just because she was such a fan of the language. One more cool thing about this book is that a portion of the sales will go to the Southwest Autism Research and Resource Center, based in Phoenix. As the author points out, the fondest dream of many parents and grandparents of autistic children is to hear their name spoken by their child. --About.com - A New York Times Company, Grandparents Editor
Product Description
You Can Call Me Hoppa! The Grandparents' Guide to Choosing a Name that Fits is a collection of grandparent names and stories designed to assist modern grandparents in finding the answer to the 'what to be called?' question. Think baby name book for Boomers! We hope that you enjoy perusing the pages of possibilities, whether you are a first-time grandparent, one who is relatively established or a step-grandparent. Most of us are given a name at birth and don't again get the opportunity to choose a name that truly represents who we are until we reach grandparenthood. The names and stories in this book include traditional titles, cultural appellations and names that are perfectly personal. But the most captivating collection of monikers is found in the Out of the Mouths of Babes section. The name that is right for you may not be contained within the pages of this book, but we hope that we can provide you with the inspiration you need to choose a name that fits!
