Just curious - what names have your parents/SO parents chosen for LO to call them eventually?
My father didn't have a preference so he'll probably be Grandpa Fred
DH's parents were going to go with the Italian versions of Grandma and Grandpa, but FIL wasn't a big fan of Nonno. MIL is CeCe and FIL is Grumpa (not a typo, lol).
Re: What are Grandmas and Grandpas being called?
We let them all choose..
DH's parents: Nana and Pop
Mom and Stepdad: Grammy and Gup
Dad and Stepmom: Grandpa and Gigi (I think)
DH's parents are Oma and Opa (dutch for grandma and grandpa)
my mother wants to be called MiMi. I'm trying to respect her wishes but everytime I say it I just feel ridiculous.
No father
my ils will be abuelo and abuela....my sil and her hubby will bw tia and tio....it kind of helps that they are spanish so they all get something different
Me too! Kids will call them what they want...we refer to our parents as Grandma FirstName's and Grandpa or Grandpa FirstName (my father is passed).
But when DS starts talking whatever he calls them will work!

Nana and Pops
YaYa T and Grandpa first name.
It'll be interesting what all our LOs end up calling them!
My grandmother was named Edith and would jokingly tell us that she really wanted all of us to call her Eddy Grand. She ended up being Grandma Lastname

In laws are Nana and Papa but my MIL pronounces it like puppa.
My dad is Papa Walter
My stepmother is Nana
My stepfather is Papaw Rabbit
My MIL is Grammy
And my FIL is Super Lloyd lol
LOs grandparents have all 'chosen' names, but once he starts talking, they are all fine with whatever DS decides to call them
I didn't even think to have them pick something out... oops...
Dh's parents are now Gramma and Grampa. (how DD says them)
My Mom is Gramma B. My Dad passed away 6 years ago.
Dad: Grandpa
MIL: Granny (which I dislike)
FIL: Grandpa. I am thinking maybe Grandpa Chuck. But really DD won't see my dad that often, so likely won't be too confusing
Great grandma: GG

DH- Grandma and PoPo
Mine- Grandma and Grandpa
The grandparents all chose their names (not our decision, they just did it on their own by signing their "names" to LO's welcome baby gifts).
ILs: Grandma & Grandpa (firstnames)
My Mom: Nana
My Dad: Isa (I don't understand it... DH is refusing to let LO call him this!)
Well my ILs have been around LO maybe 5 times since she was born. I predict they'll be called Grandma firstname and Grandpa firstname.
My Parents have been around LO much, much more often and will be the primary Grandparents in her life. They'll be called Grandma and Grandpa. Although my Dad has referred to himself a few times as Papa. So ... we'll see what LO picks up on.
They are all "established" since I already have an older son
My mom is Yaya (my, now, 3 yr old niece came up with this and it stuck) or Nonna Isa
My grandma is Tata or Abuela
ILs are Nonno Marco and Nonna Steffy
DH's grandma is Nonna Bis
