I've got a question.

When using a diminutive / term of endearment in English, when do you use a "y" and when do you use an "ie"

E.g. Grimmie / Grimmy

Auntie / Aunty

As serious as I can be

I call my Aunties,Auntie

My grandma , grandma or sometimes granny (my mum's mum)

But then I had a Nana as well (my dad's mum)

And I don't say mommy

And I only call the kids by their full titles when they are in big trouble

E.g.:

I don't want to go = Ek wil nie gaan nie

Literally translated as: I don't want to go not.

Same thing in Greek, actually - den thelo tipota - means "I don't want nothing" when they mean "I don't want anything", so Jackie you weren't far off when you said "it's all Greek to me"!!!.
