Grandparent's names
Anyone have ideas of what your kids are going to call their grandparents? Or what the grandparents want to be called?

Re: Grandparent's names
My parents are: Grandma and Grandpa
ILs: Yia-Yia and Pappou (Greek)
My parents: Yia-Yia and Pop
big brothers 12.2009 and 02.2012
DH's parents are: Grammi and Grumpa (LOL don't ask, I have no clue where that came from - they chose these names when my nephew was born last year)
My mom will be classic Grandma!
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!

My parents passed away years ago, but we will still refer to them as Grandma and Grandpa when telling stories about them and showing pictures.
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 parents: Grammy and Grampy
DH's parents: Nana and Papa
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".
Gavin calls my M/FIL Nana and Papa.
My parents are grandma and granddad, but he can't really say that yet.
I told my inlaws they can pick,this will be their first grandchild. If my mom was still alive she would have been Gigi
My Daddy and Janiece are Pop and Nonnie (already established as Janiece has 2 grankids.
Casey's dad is Papaw, Ian is number 6 for him and one great grand.
My mom is Mimi.
My Mom- Nana
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.
Mine - Grammy & Grampy
DH's - Gram & Poppy
Mine - Mimi and Grandpa. Although my mom keeps joking that my dad should be called Momo.
DH's Mom - Granny
