    I am Nannie and my hubby is Pop Pop. My own mother is known as Nana, and since she is still living I wanted to make a slight differentiation there. My dad was Pop Pop. Robyn's in-laws chose to be Grandma and Grandpa so it worked out well.

    My next door neighbor's daughter used to try to say Grandma when speaking to her grandmother and it always came out *Geggy* so that name stuck until she passed away 27 years later.

    she was already someones' mom, and josh needs to be the one to tell her YOU are the only mom. IMHO

    My grandparents are MEMA AND PAPO that is how you spell it. You pronounce it ME MAW AND PA PAW. My mother's mother is abuelita. pronounced awelita. Spanish for grandma.

    My grandpa on my mom's side I call Pappy, and My grandmother, even though she's no longer with us, I used to call her Nanny. On my dad's side of the family I call my grandpa Paw, and My grandma Maw.

    My paternal grandparents were always Grandma & Grandpa... Sometimes Grandma is Gram, and sometimes Grandpa is Grumpy. I don't know my maternal grandmother, so she was just always "your mother" when I would talk to my mom about her. Mom's dad is Grandpa Neil, her stepmom was Grandma Ann, her second stepmom was either just Sheryl or Grandma Sheryl, and Grandpa's girlfriend is Lynda. My great-grandma Lizzie is always Grandma Lizzie. She died the year I was born, but the family still talks about her all the time. I have two more great-grandmas I remember: Grandma Barber, and then Grandpa Neil's mom, who we always called "Betty."

    I only had my grandmother on my mom's side who died when I was 14 and my grandfather on my dad's side who died when I was 5. I just called them Grandma and Grandpa but I never was around either of them much. My grandma lived across country and my grandpa had Alzheimer's (before they had a name for it).
