Nickname for a grandparent?

I'm Granny and my husband is Pa, or Pawpaw.

Lots of kids I grew up with had a Meme and a Pepe (the Canuck grandparents) and a Grandma and Grandpa. As my Grandmother didn't want us learning French, she was Grandma, Swedish gradfather was Grandpa, and on my mother's side, my grandfather's designation was Bummy, because that was as close as my eldest cousin could get to Grampy. So he became Bummy to everyone!

Hmm. My grandparents were Grandma and Grandpa. My husbands maternal grandparents were Mamaw and Papaw. His paternals were Grandma and Grandpa. I imagine that if I ever had grandkids then I would want to be called Nana.

Grandma and grandpa are the ONLY suitable names (in my book) LOL

But I also had a Nana and Pappy (my great grand parents. whenj I was very little)

My OTHER grandparents went by PopPop and BaaBaa, but there was NO way in heck I was calling them THAT! To me they were still grandma and grandpa, even if they hated it (I didn't meet them until I was 12)

My dad's parents were Mamaw and Papaw. My mom's parents are Nanny and Paw (the spelling evolved that way from Pa). As for our daughter's grandparents to be, my husband's parents are Grandmama and Granddaddy. (There are already grandchildren on that side of the family, so those names are pretty set.) The plan for my parents is Papa and LaoLao (Chinese for maternal grandmother), but we'll see how they evolve as Mary Joyce learns to talk.

We've always just called our Grandparents Grandma and Grandpa last name!

I called my grandmother Granny. I only ever really got to know her of all my grandparents. I met my grandfather on my moms side for the first time when I was like 15, so I have no idea why to call him.

My nieces/nephew call my mom Nanny Bobbi and my dad Grampie Andy. My niece calls one of her other grandmothers Mammie (don't know hwo to spell it...maam-E)
