People from Blackpool have a couple of names for themselves, including Blackpudlians, Sandgrownians or Sandgrown'uns. Some locals also call themselves Seasiders - but this is more commonly used to refer to Blackpool FC and their supporters as opposed to people from the town itself. Based on the town's name, some people call themselves Blackpudlians - but for plenty of locals the more common term is Sangrownians. While Blackpudlian is probably the word most people would understand and recognise outside of Blackpool, lots of locals would never use the term to describe themselves. For people who were born and raised in Blackpool, Sandgrownian could be the term their families use to refer to themselves, while may have barely ever heard it. The word Sandgrownian or Sandgrown'un isn't just limited to Blackpool either - people from as far away as Morecambe and Southport have also used the term to describe where they're from.
