Nanna is only slang for grandmother in English-speaking countries. In Sweden and Norway grandmother is called "Mormor/Farmor" and the most common slang is Mommo or Fammo. It has nothing to do with grandmothers where it's used.

Seeing that Nanna is a perfectly normal name in many languages - and is a goddess in Norse mythology even! - and as 'nana' is a petform/slang for grandmother in English speaking countries only, I find the grandmother comment above somewhat stupid and ignorant.

I think Nanna is a lovely nickname, but I would be unsure about putting it on a birth certificate, because some people call their grandmothers "Nanna". I like how this name originates in mythology, and it's cute that "Nanna" is a word for "sweets" in Finnish. For me, that's a positive association. Nanna certainly does sound very sweet and youthful, almost childlike. I think I would use it as a nickname for Inanna.
