What do your parents want to be called when LO arrives?

rebelone · December 2015

Grandma and Grandpa

MariaSara1134 · December 2015

My mom wants to be called Una, because she's "#1 Grandma." I thought she was kidding, she's not lol

yodiggity · December 2015

My mom and stepdad will be "Nana and Pop", my dad and stepmom are "Grandpa and Grandma".

SO's mom and dad are "Granny and Pappa" because they're country af.

AmadorRose · December 2015

My parents will be grandma and grandpa, his will be that or abuela y abuelo

AGK2015 · December 2015

It's looking like both grandmothers will be "Grandma," and my grandparents will continue as "Grammy" and "Paw-Paw."

sarahufl · December 2015

My parents are G-moo and G-doo. H's parents are Babchi (I believe that is a Polish thing- pronounced bob-shee) and Grandpa. This kid will be #5 on my side and #8 on H's, so grandparent names are well-established

cmjenkies · December 2015

DH's parents are already Mamaw Beth and Papaw Mike. My dad is Grandpa Kelly. Don't ask me why, but the first names have always stuck.

randilea0110 · December 2015

Both sets of grandparents are Grandpa and Grandma, but my niece and nephew are already calling my parents their mean grandpa and grandma. I find it hilarious because that is what I called my mom's parents when I was a kid. They were also the grandparents that I always wanted to spend time with growing up, so they couldn't have been that bad.

They aren't mean they are just strict and don't believe in the whole spoil them rotten thing.

ivyvines6 · December 2015

My parents are Mamaw and Papaw. Fiancé's parents are Nana and Papa.

amandac12581 · December 2015

My parents are Grandma and Grandpa. DH's mom and stepdad will be Mama Ro and Papa Tito.

g&tlewis · December 2015

My parents will be Grandma and Paw. My husband's dad is undecided, and his step-mom has decided on TeTe. (That's not even the worst one.) My husband's mother has decided on Bebop (WTF), and her husband will probably just be Jay. Totally not teaching my child to call anyone TeTe or Bebop.

yodiggity · December 2015

Bebop?? WTF?

hahah

yodiggity · December 2015

Bebop reminds me of these Boobah things. They were like Telletubbies on crack a few years ago.

cmjenkies · December 2015

^^ my grandpa has been BopBop by entire life! My grandma was Nanoo. They're the best people in the world. Nothing wrong with silly grandparent names. (;

My oldest cousin couldn't say "pop" or whatever very well and BopBop is what stuck.

imrachellea · December 2015

Both of our moms are Grandma, my dad is Granddad and my FIL is Grandpa. DD has taken to calling them Nana and Papa just because that's what she is able to pronounce right now. On my side, it doesn't matter because she's currently the one and only. On DH's side they are already established as Grandma and Grandpa, but oh well. DD will call them what she wants, and they'll just deal because they love her. Whatevs.

mrstrax · December 2015

My parents are Nana and Papa and the ILs are Grammy and Grampy because that's how our nephew (grandchild #1) always pronounced Grandma and Grandpa.

elasticheart13 · December 2015

Lol we will have slightly different names as well
My mom will be Tété and my dad will be Jedo
DHs mom will either be Natu (this is what DH called his grandma because he didn't know how to say Nana or Téta, so it became a mix of the two) or Téta. DHs dad is Gedo (slight variation from Jedo due to dialect differences) and DHs stepmom will be Nana. :P

kalanieileen · December 2015

DHs mom will be Mita (mixture of mama and Tita which means aunt in Tagalog because she refuses to believe that she's getting old) and His dad will be Ampa.

I have no idea what my parents will like to be called. They're not involved in the pregnancy, so that would be a weird question to bring up to them out of the blue "hey I know we haven't really spoken in 5 months but when my baby, the one you're not happy about, gets here, what do you want him to call you?"

I will probably just wait when they meet him and see what they decide to call themselves.

duendef · December 2015

My parents wanted to be called Grandma and Grandpa, but DD started calling them Mima and Pipa. My FIL is Pipa Fred and SMIL is Grammy Jane. My MIL is Nana.

redselig · December 2015

Dad and stepmom will be Lolo and Lola and FIL and MIL will be Nonno and Nonna

briterfly84 · December 2015

My parents are Mimi & Grandy (after I vetoed the Hoot & Nanny they wanted to originally be called), DH's parents are Grandma and Papa.

schlick1 · December 2015

Grandma and grandpa. DH's parents are Grammy and Grandpa Bob... or Bobpa as he is called by some of the other kids who mix it together!

littleredx2 · December 2015

My parents are called Grammy and Grumps (my dad's name totally fits him, everyone laughs a lot when they hear my kids say it).

DH's parents are Nana and Pawpaw

We also have great grandmothers and a great great grandmother, they are Grandma, Nanny, and Granny.

I like everyone to have different names since that's how I grew up and luckily it's worked out that way.

I've never had to spell it before but I think it's the same haha! Jiddo does seem like a better way of spelling it lol.

cortney626 · December 2015

My mom is Grandma, dad is Grandpa, stepdad is Papa Keith. FIL is Grandpap, MIL is Grandma also. We just add first names when referring to the Grandmas.

KyllieThomson · December 2015

My parents with will Grandma and Papa; My MIL and SFIL will be Nana and Grampy; and my FIL and SMIL will be Moshom and Mémé! My paternal grandmother will be call G.G. Or Gigi for great grandmother.

linzoirv · December 2015

My parents will be Nana and Pop Pop. My FIL will be Grandaddy and my MIL will be Nanny. (I don't like Nanny but this name is already with established with the other grandkids.)

Haven't thought of names for the LO's great-grands other than "Granny (name)" and "Grandpa (name)."

BreannaaaMarieee · December 2015

MIL is Nana FIL is Papaw (they chose to be called those names) my mother and father will be grandma and grandpa

TKaiser91 · December 2015

My mom and stepdad are Grandma Lala (she's been Aunt Lala to my cousins forever so it just switched over) and Grandpa D. My dad and stepmom are Oma and Opa (German). My MIL and FIL are Mamaw and Papaw because that's what my nephew (first grandbaby on that side) could pronounce and it just stuck.

Mailmans Baby Momma · December 2015

DS got to establish names...we've got a Papa and a She-She (moms name is Sheila) and a Pa.

adifrog · December 2015

My mother in law wants to be called MiMi. FIL will wait to be named.

My dad wants to be called Buddy. (Awww!) My mom will also wait to be named...first grand baby in the family, haha!

mojomama6 · December 2015

My parents are generally Gram and Papa, or Crumpa, which is how my first kid pronounced grandpa. My eldest has a Grandma (first name), which she hates, but my kid wouldn't drop the first name. The grandparents on dh's side are pretty much all Grandma/Grandpa (first name)- his mom and her husband, his mom's parents- but his dad is known to our kids as Top Thom. My grandparents are Great and Super (my niece came up with that one, and I think it's hilarious).

DougalMcG · December 2015

My ILs are grandma and grandad. My parents are nana and.....grandfather. DD obviously can't say that so he is instead "fava". Like the bean.

@yodiggity My husband used to be a HUGE Ninja Turtles fan, and apparently Bebop was one of the villains in the cartoon. He sent it to his mother after she told us about her choice, and she thought it was hilarious. It might be semi-acceptable if her name was anything remotely close, but it's Martha. This is Bebop:

sprocketsngadgets · December 2015

I think both sets are going to be plain old grandma and grandpa. It's already been established for my parents with my brother's kids and my IL live far away so it's not like everyone will ever be all together. Once DD1 talks more/better, she may end up calling them something else that may stick. No one has demanded to be called something in particular so I'm pretty unconcerned about it

seasidesweete · December 2015

DD decided grandparents names. Well kind of.

my parents wanted to be Grandma and Grandpa. She started calling them MiMi and Papa when she was about 2, but Papa has changed to Poppy. Mother in law wanted to be Nana and that has stuck. Grandpa on that side started off being called Grandpa Pete while I was pregnant and then when she was trying to start calling them by name that was too hard, so we shortened it to GP and now Jeep

blonde_mama · December 2015

DS calls my parents Mimi and pop pop!

RachieTK · December 2015

Husbands parents are grandma and grandpa. My parents are Bubbe and Poppa.

thaisac1 · December 2015

In Brasil there is only one option: vovô and vovó (also abbreviated as vô and vó for grandpa and grandma, respectively).
Here in Canada my husband's parents already have several grandchildren and they call them Nanny and Grampy. I think it's adorable.
