Names for Grandparents: What do you call yours?

[sirrahbed]

to my kids, they used Nanny & PawPaw for my folks.

To our girl grandkids, we are Meemaw & PawPaw
to the boys we are simply gramma and grampa

their other grandmother is Mimi

[Pinot's Mom]

We were a little formal...
I knew three of my grandparents, who are all now long gone...
Grandmother Mary (my mother's Mother-never knew G-father on that side)
Grandmother Nellie (my father's Mother)
Bapa Harold (Nellie's husband, not my actual grandfather, she had been widowed and remarried, but he was the only one I knew).

Of course, to go with that, my mother was ALWAYS "Mother"-no nickname until I got older and wanted to antagonize her.

On my mum's side it was Grandmama, my granfather had died before we came along. On my fahter's side it was pepe and meme (pronounced the way Karen spelled it.)

All of my grandparents died before I could talk. With my own children they called my parents and hubby's parents (Nana and PopPop and Grandmother and PopPop respectively). My grandchildren call me Nannie (to be different from Nana) and my hubby is PopPop to them.

My co-worker, who is Italian, just had her first grandson. He will call her Nonna (when he learns to talk...LOL!) and her hubby will be Poppi.

Cute thread!
