We have LOTS of grandparents, due to blended families.
My parents are Granddad and Grandma.
ILs #1: Nana and Papi
ILs #2: Grandpa and Grammy
Great-Grandma is Gigi.
It is nice to have separate names for everyone. When I was a kid we referred to our grandparents as the "fun" grandparents and the "church" grandparents... only behind their backs, of course
On DH's side, his mom is Grandma, his stepdad is Gramps. DH's Dad is Papa. All of them have several grandkids already, and these names were already established long before I met any of them!
My mom...well, we don't know what she will be called yet. This will be her first grandchild. She claims she's not ready. *laughs* She's never really been comfy around kids, so who knows. I told her she can come up with what she is comfy being called....so we will see!
DH's parents have 3 granddaughters, so they are already Nana & Grampa.
This will be my mom's first grandchild, but she's made it clear that she wants to be Grammy.
My Grammy will be GG (Great-Grammy) and my Nana will become Nana FirstName. DH has only 1 living grandparent, but he's pretty far gone in a nursing home.
My boys call my mom "Ma'ama" and my step dad "Papa" (my oldest gave them those names b/c he couldn't say Grandma and Grandpa... it has stuck over the years).
Hubby's parents and step-parents are all classic "Grandma" and "Grandpa".
My Dad- The common vote is Pop-pop but he doesn't like it so I think we've agreed on Papa, but we'll see.
ILs- No idea. I'm not really close with them and haven't really talked with them about it that much. MIL didn't seem excited about the pregnancy when we told her, so who knows.

DS is the only grandchild, so they are all called what he started calling them when he was able to talk. My parents are Mimi and Beepa (pronounced like Be-paw), and MIL is Memaw.
