What did you call your grandparents?

ejm · March 2009

DC will have three grandmothers and two grandfathers. Did you grow up using any different or fun names for your grandparents?

My mother's parents were Gramma and Gramps, my father's parents are Grammy and Grampy and my step-mother's parents were Gram and Papa. I liked having a different name for each person, even if they were similar.

Both sets were Grammy and Pop Pop to me.

DH's family has an interesting grandmother name: "Meemaw." Not sure where it comes from, but it's cute.

And our best friends always called their in-laws by first-name-nick-names (Barb-zilla, Rose-zilla), so now the grandmas are "Zilla" to the babies.

We had Mimi & Pop-Pop....my parents are Bimi and Grumps and my in-laws are Neenie & Pop

Blumunchkn · March 2009

My Grandmother was Ma my Grandfather was Poppi. My mothers 3 Grandkids currently call her LaLa (she didn't want to be grandma or nana and my oldest nephew came up with that)

Great question...my mom is looking for something different, too. She likes Mimi, but my DH hates it so we're trying to give her other options. So far, I like Nona, or Nonnie.

I had a Granny and a Mema. Mema sounds weird when I say it now, but it was always normal to us growing up in the south! However, my FIL wants to be called PawPaw, which makes me want to choke on my spit. At least it's not PeePaw...

My dad's parents died when he was a teenager so I only had one set of grandparents. They are (still!) Nanny and Papa to me! .

deb2126 · March 2009

Grandpa & Grandma, Granddaddy & Grandmother, my DH calls his: GG or Nan & Pops. My kids will call my mom Oma

ntnylizard · March 2009

Oh, and other friends call grandma "Yaya"

Almost Married · March 2009

I think most of my family had some funny nickname... I have my nanny, knunnel, papal, mema, poppops, eddu. Don't ask those aren't even all grandparents some are uncles lol!

Seatownbride2B · March 2009

what if YOU have living grandparents...what will your kids call them?

bwilkerson0220 · March 2009

I had two sets of grandma & grandpas, but I started calling one of the grandpas "GP" as I got older. It has stuck and now even my son calls him that. My best friends kids call their grandma "tutu" which is hawiian for grandmother. I hope my baby gets to call my inlaws something cute! My mom made my son call her "aunt ___" because she didn't want to be a grandma so badly and he calls his other grandparents Grandma Barb & Grandpa Barb. (Barb is his grandma's first name!)

MNieds · March 2009

On my mom's side I have Granmere (pronounced Gran-mare) and Granpere (grand-pear) My Grandpa is French and that is what he called his gp's. On my Dad's side I had Grandma Shirley. My mom and dad want to be Nana and Grandpa and DH's parents want to be Mawmaw and Pawpaw. DC will probably just call my living grandparents Granmere and Granpere to make it easier.
