I grew up calling both sets of grandparents "grandma" and "grandpa," and we planned on having DS do the same with his grandparents. My mom has decided she wants to be called something other than grandma, and I'm starting to notice that a lot of people have other names for their grandparents.
So, just out of curiousity--what will your LO call your and your DH's parents?

We're still trying to come up with one for my aunt and uncle (my mom is dead and my dad is estranged from our family). I suggested Grant and Gruncle (great aunt, great uncle), but they didn't like that.
