    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).

    I've only known my grandmas because my grandpas died before I was born . Now I call my grandma, Grandma Lupe. I don't remember what I called my other grandma. She died of cancer when I was around 4 or so...

    I always just called my grandparents by grandma/grandpa and their last name. my ex's nieces and nephews called his parents meemaw and pappy (or pappy dad). they called their great grandmother Beemaw, I don't remember what they called their great grandfather.
