    She will be calling my mom Abuelita (grandma in spanish) and my dad either Abuelito or Grandpa, depends on what my dad prefers. She will call my BF's dad Grandpa Jose.
  • My DD calls my mom and step dad - Bama and Papa. She calls all the other grandpa's Papa too. We just let her choose what she wanted to call them. We called them grandma and grandpa and she went with Bama and Papa. Works for me and them.
  • Maybe I'm thinking of a different board but I'm pretty sure there was a BIG post about this just yesterday.
  • Here, this may help since it was kinda discussed just yesterday...

  • my parents are Oma (german) and Pap.  DH's mom is nanny (already picked out from her other grandchildren). 

    My aunt and uncle are Nana and Pop.  I think that is cute!

  • My parents:  Gram & Granddaddy

    His parents:  Probably Grandma & Grandpa

  • We asked both sets what they preferred to be called. My parents wanted to be called Grandmom and Granddad, while DH's parents wanted to be Grandma and Grandpa. Makes it easier to distinguish between them, too. I'd ask them what they prefer, honestly. :)

  • my mom is gigi and my dad is pawpaw, Mil is meme and Fil (well idk what he is yet)
  • We let them pick what they would like to be called. My ILs will be Yiayia and Papou (my DH is 1/2 Greek) and my parents haven't decided yet. They definitely won't be choosing anything crazy though, so I'm not worried!

  • MIL and her husband would like to be called Nana and Papa. FIL's wife is a little younger and wants to go by her first name. My parents haven't said yet, but I have a feeling they're ether going to go super traditional (grandma/grandpa) or super out there.

    I love seeing what others are doing, I feel like we need some different ideas!

  • My mom has decided hers and my dad's names for the baby to call them! As for the ILs, we'll refer to them as .....them Wink
  • DD named my FIL "Papa" and my dad "Gampy" but that later evolved into Grampy.  My MIL and mom wanted Nana so MIL is just Nana and mom is Nana Barbara.  Kinda formal I know, but she's probably seen DD 15 times in her 5 yrs even though she lives 10 minutes away - a whole other story.
  • No clue.  On his side, its just his mom and she's already "Gam" or "GeeGee" (hard Gs).  On my side, its my Dad and my step mom... and maybe its just me, but I don't really want my step mom to be "Grandma" because my mom is Grandma... she's just not alive to claim the title.
