Grandfather names?

kandmrod · May 2009

Ok so my mom is going to go by Nana but my step-dad (Graham) can't decide on a name. We dont want to use Grandpa because that what his dad goes by and he is very strange and definately doesnt want that name. Please any suggestions to help out would be greatly appreciated

TIA

My dad's going by Big Daddy. My father-in-law thinks he might want to be called Pop.

While I am very traditional, and my parents will be called "Grandma and Grandpa," my fiance has two nephews already, and those boys call his parents "Grammy and Grampy." I don't know if this helps....

On a side note, my dad did ask to be called "Mr. Moore" (his last name). Thought it would be good if the kid gained some respect for him! Stick out tongue He was teasing, of course!

The kids I babysat for when I was a teenager called their grandparents Nana and Papa.

My DH calls his grandpa Pap, and I think he wants us to call his dad PawPaw (I don't know why).

The kids will figure out names on their own, more than likely. My parents originally wanted to be Nana (Nah-nah) & Gramps, but they're Nana & Poppy. Poppy came from my oldest nephew, who just decided that was what he was going to be. Nana changes pronunciation depending on the kids' moods. Calloway is the ILs' first grandchild and we've been calling them Mimi & Pa, but if Calloway decides otherwise, then they'll be called whatever he wants to call them.

DH's grandfather was Pa to him, but Ow-Wow to his uncle's children.

My daughter calls my dad PawPaw. She's finally saying it now and its the most adorable sound you'll ever hear. She sounds like a little mouse..

My BIL's father is called "Partner" - say this with a Texas accent for full effect.

Don't know what my dad wants to be called - he said the baby can call him whatever they like.

FIL said that if it's a boy (we're naming a boy Stephen III), he wants to be called The Legend. haha But think he'll go by grandpa.

I called my grandfather, and we call DH's grandfather Pop Pop.

Thanks girls. I have made a list and will run those names by him. I think we should have a winner from at least one of these. I like Pa alot and I am sure the baby will change it once he is able to talk which is what I prefer. I gave my grandfather his name (well i actually changed it from what my older cousins called him) and he loved it so much.
