Titles for grandparents?

anorthro · March 2015

We have started asking our parents what they want their grandparent names to be. For those of you with kids, what do they call your parents? Grandma and Grandpa? Nana and Papa?

satori15 · March 2015

We have Oma and Opa, Grandma and Grandpa, and Grampie and Nana Banana

MelMel92 · March 2015

My mom will be Oma, I havent asked my husbands parents yet what theyd be comfortable with though.

Jones.Young.10.3.09 · March 2015

Gramps and GrandV (her name is Victoria), Mimi, and Snipper and Z (her name is Suzy).
Mine, growing up, were Mamaw and Papaw, and Gigi and Gee.

MamaOwl15 · March 2015

We have a grandma and a grandpa (my parents) and Nana and Papa (Dh's parents). My nephew was the first grandchild, so my parents got Grandma and Grandpa. We asked DH's parents what their preference was, advising them that we had a grandma and grandpa already, and they chose Nana and Papa

happyfeet2015 · March 2015

The kids call my mom Dadee

Birdee212 · March 2015

My MIL will be Mimi and FIL will be Pawpaw.

curfam4 · March 2015

My parents are Oma and Opa, DH's Mom is Grandma, and DH's Dad and Stepmom are Nana and Papa.

bntfroggie · March 2015

My in laws are Polish so we will have Babcia and dziadek, and my parents just want to be Grandma and Grandpa.

cgummie · March 2015

My mom is Grammy- my niece picked it out. Grandma and Grandpa on husband's side.

earthtomom · March 2015

We tried to pick out what my daughter would call them but she ended up calling them frama and papa. We didn't have a say

mocha4040 · March 2015

My parents are Grandpa and Tutu. DH's parents are Nana and Hoppa.

EvilFiona · March 2015

Pretty sure my parents are going to be Gramma and Grampa, while the husbeast's folks will be Nana and Pop-Pop.

jenn2132 · March 2015

My hubby's parents are grandma and grandpa, my parents are divorced so we have Mama Lucy, Papa Joe abd Grandma Suzie. My grandparents my kids great-grandparents are Nani and Papa

BbyCastillo · March 2015

I let my son choose with my mom and then his dad mom, he calls my mom Ma and his dad's mom by her name. He knows that's his grandma and will sometimes refer to her as grandma but he hardly sees her she lives in mexico now. With my second I think it will be grandma and grandpa with my boyfriends parents and Ma with my mom.

Caraet413 · March 2015

My parent will be Nana and Chief. His mom will be Noni (her name is Joni so it's a Grandma-fied version of that) and his Dad will be Pop. His step-mom has not much to do with us, so she will simply be Sheila.

smlowe9311 · March 2015

We are letting dd choose. Right now my parents are both mama but she was calling them ama (grandma) and ampa (grandpa)

Nellennium · March 2015

We have Nann and Pop (my mum and step dad), Granny and Poppa (inlaws), Nana and Grandad or Grumps

(my 1st step dad and his wife)

We also have another set that have yet to met DS :S No idea what they want to be called. (that's my biological father and his partner)

DH is adopted so potentially there are more grandparents out there!!

Broken families make so many grandparents!!

happyfeet2015 · March 2015

The kids call my mom Dadee

Krina18 · March 2015

We use Grandma and Papa for my step daughter. But I called my great grandmother GG and my grandma BooBoo. Your kids may come up with their own names for them. I have a friend who's niece called her grandmother Chocolate Milk. They couldn't get her to change so they went with it.

sweet+cheeks · March 2015

My parents are Nana and Grandpa, ILs are Grandma and Papa Bear

lanaloulittle · March 2015

MIL is Savta/Safta it's the Hebrew word for grandma. I don't know what FIL will be, probably just pop pop, or papa. And my parents are just grandma and grandpa, they have 12 grandkids already so that's what they've always been.

doe2813 · March 2015

My parents are MeMom and Poppy and his parents are Grammy and Poppy.

morganabyrd · March 2015

My inlaws are Granma & Pops, and my folks are KK & Pappy.

JakeKirsten9192 · March 2015

My parents go by Nana and Granddaddy, and my father in law wants to go by Grumpy. My Mother in law, however, wants to go by....Dutchess....it's awful!! Talk about narcissistic! We'll see how long that lasts I suppose.

aah1013 · March 2015

My parents had names picked out and my daughter completely made up her own. My mom wanted to be Granny and my daughter calls her "Mom-mommy". She learned that it's mom's mommy, so that's basically what she calls her. We don't love it, but it's special since she came up with it on her own. My dad went from wanting to be Poppy to being called "Pap-pap". Sometimes you just can't plan it:-)

CaitLewis15 · March 2015

We had the tradition of naming grandparents 'Mama' or 'Daddy' and then their name. But because I was the first, all those plans changed to fit around what I could actually say. So I ended up with a Papa and a Wheezy (for 'Mama Louise'). Now we just kind of let the grandchild pick whatever they can say.

This is the greatest thing I've read on the bump EVER!! Dutchess?? That is so hilariously narcissistic, lmao.

Kitta+1 · March 2015

I didn't even know dutchess was an option! Ooooh when my sis has a kid I will not be auntie - I'm gonna be Your Majesty! lol My sis is Auntie Peaches.

My mamma wants Nana Paula, my dad's not very frequently in the picture. My fiancee already had kids so his family already has it worked out to Grandma Sue, Grandpa Kaczmarski (grampa K) and Grandpa Marik.

last14real · March 2015

@MamaOwl15 same situation for us when our DS was born there were already 4 nephews calling my parents grandma and grandpa. He was the first for dh's side so we asked his parents what they wanted and they chose nana and papa. I think
The most unique ones I have heard with my own family or friends is a cousins daughter who calls her grandma "ya-ya". The other is a friend whose kids call their grandpa "g-dub".

texasmomma84 · March 2015

My kids call my mom Dee or DeeDee (her name starts with a D) and my dad Grandpa. They call my MIL, Nanna, and my FIL, Pops.

Growing up, I had a Mimi, Papa and a Nanny.

casserole27 · March 2015

We will probably jus be Grandma/Grandpa and then their first name. I keep trying to get my mom to go by "Nana Lou Lou" since her nickname is Lou . But don't think it'll happen. Lol

nrocke129 · March 2015

My mom planned on being Grandma but my daughter when she started talking called her Amma. My mom loved that so now she is Amma.

MerVer · March 2015

I had grandmama, papa ted, papa Von and Grammy. My hubs has Grammy and grandma. Neither of our moms personality or ages match "grandma" and neither of them want to be called Grammy. So I hope that our kids come up with something that will stick. So far we don't have anything.

kmf2411 · March 2015

My parents are Sunny and MartyMac (last name starts with Mc). My mom used to sing you are my sunshine to my nephew all the time. That's where she got her name.
My friend's parents are Lolli and Pops to her kids and I love it!!

Cynthia1207 · March 2015

I'm italian so my mom and stepdad are Nonna and Nonno. My MIL is abuela (H is Cuban)

ljburrelli · March 2015

My mom is Nonna which is Italian and my inlaws are Ba (Grandma) and Dada (Grandpa) which is Indian.

ELParker814 · March 2015

My Mother-in-law is Ahma, she already has 2 grandkids from my sister-in-law. My parents have decided they want to be Nana and PopPop. No idea what my father-in-law and his wife are going to be... My husband was mad my dad wanted to be PopPop because that is what HIS grandfather went by. My grandfather was Pop also.. I told him to get over it. Or they can be PopPop Alan and PopPop Jack. That would be fine with me.

saraking437 · March 2015

My parents are Nonna and Poppa. DH's parents are Mimi and Granddad.

JerricaTaylor · March 2015

My parents are Gram and Pop-Pop and my in-laws are Mamee and Pa she also calls her great grandmothers GG, Grandma and great grandma Milly

elmann1 · March 2015

My mom wants to be called "wella" (super short for abuela) and my dad is easy going. Haven't asked DH's parents yet.

My brother started calling my mom "G-ma" this week. Oh boy.

Growing up I had wuelita and wuelito (paternal) and grandma and grandpa (maternal)
