Names for Grandparents: What do you call yours?

Hubby and I are "grandmom" and "grandpop". I sorely wanted Cameron to come up with something cute for me, but he didn't. He called hubby "Gurk-gum" for the longest time and hubby hated it. We finally got him to pronounce grandpop properly.

Oh, an apparently Cam had a HUGE issue with calling his father's mom "Grandmom" he said he already had a grandmom and didn't want another.

So she's now got her first name tacked onto the end of Grandma.

My coworker's mom insists on being "Glamma" as in glammor.

and she's serious. I am glad her mom didn't see or hear my reaction.

For us Grandmom and Grandpas are Nanna and Nannu in Maltese, for short we call them both Nan

On my mom's side they are Nanny and Bumpah. I have no clue the story there. I call my dad's mom Char though, (her first name) because for some reason everyone on that side can't seem to call relations by anything than what they are to themselves, if that makes sense. (When my dad wants to talk to me about my grandmother, he refers to her as "Mom".)
