    My dad's father and step-mother were Mam-maw and Pap-Paw. His mother was Grandma (we were not close). My mom's parents were Mom-Mom and Pop-Pop.

    Josh's father's father was Grandpap. His mother's parents were Grandmom and Pop-Pop.

    For Aidan, we call my parents Grandmommy and Granddaddy (which is what we called them for Samantha, so we couldn't break it). Josh's mother wants to be Mom-Mom but I have issues with that and just call her 'your grandmother' to Aidan. Josh's father is Pappy.

    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 niece calls my mom and dad, Mamaw and Papaw.

    My dads dad and step mother are referred to by my sister and I, and now Eden (niece) as Grandpa Joe, and Grandma Mary.

    My mom's mom (deceased) was Mamaw Verne. Her name was LaVerne. I sure do miss her.. I never met my moms dad, he passed away when she was 13. My older cousin, my aunts son, first started calling her that because Mamaw Verne's mother was Mamaw, and instead of calling them both just Mamaw, she was referred to that way.

    My dad's real mom and step dad were MawMaw, and PawPaw.
