What does/will your child(ren) call your parents and in-laws?

My mom: Nana (English)
My dad: Opa (German)
DH's mom: Grandma
DH's dad: Grandpa
My stepdad: undecided - he refuses to be called anything that ages him (he's on the vain side)

My parents are the only grandparents that DS has. He calls them grandma and grandpa. It sounds like gramma and gramma though when he says it.

my MIL is Nana, my mom is Baba, and my dad is Grandpa

DH's parents already had one grandchild when DS came along, so they were established as Granny and Granddaddy. Somehow, though Granny is hard for DS to say, so he calls her Grandmommy.

My mom is Nana. And my dad is afraid to be old, so he decided that he should be called Papa D.

My mother actually did research when she found out my sister in law was pregnant ten years ago. She said she didn't want to be grandma. She picked Mimi for herself and PoPo for my dad. He really had no say in that. My in laws are already called May and G by my niece and nephew.

DH's parents already have names - Gigi and Granddad
When I asked my parents my Mom said Sharon (her name) and my Dad said Big T ( his name is Terry). I told them no way and if they didn't pick actual grandparent names I would choose for them!

My dad's mom has always been Marmee to me (except when I was a toddler and would mix up my syllables and call her Mee-mar). It came from my older brother when they would try to get him to say her name (Martha). I've never known another Marmee!

My Mom thought G'Ma would be cute.........uuuuuuuugh, no.

Mom = Baba (though I want her to inherit Nana, from my Nana. Then my Nana would become GG, which is what I had growing up.)
Step Dad = Grandpa "R"

Dad= Grandpa
Step Mom = Grandma "T"

MIL=Grandma
FIL=Papa
