Grandparent's names
- My first child (also the first grandchild) called my Mother Mom-B and my dad pop. My husbands parents were grandmom and popadon (His name was Don). The grandchildren to follow now call them G-mom and pop and my husband mother grandmom Alice popadon has past. Now It's our time to be grandparents and My husband named after his father will be PopaDon and I am not sure, I guess the new grandbaby will choose.

Grandparent Names
- My daughter is the first grandchild on my side of the family. When she was first born we referred to my parents as Grandma and Grandpa, but she had other thoughts. She began calling my father PopPop and my mother GaGa, which then evolved into Poppy and Gagy, and that has stuck. She calls my grandmother Nana (but all of us kids called her that). Her other set of great grandparents she refers to as GiGi and Papa; and her great-great grandmother she calls grandma. Funny how kids come up with their own names! I think letting them do that is best!

Grandfather to Grandfather
- My daughter is having a baby in 3 weeks, and I have been bugging everyone I know to give me idea's of "grandfather names". My partner and I have desided on G-Pop for me. Because it's my daughter. Than E-Pop for him because his name is Eric.

I'm "Gramsy"
- My granddaughter (& only grandchild so far) came when I was not quite 40. So I really was NOT prepared for "Grandma." Plus my mother & grandmother still around! So I really liked what Bill Cosby called his grandmother: "Gramsy"

Names
- Both my grandfathers were known as Granddad... but my dad's dad died when my sister was very young, a long time before I was born. My dad's mom was Gran, and my mom's mom was Grandmum. When my nephew was on the way, my sister asked my parents what they'd like to be called. My mom wanted to be Grandmum like her mother, but when Xavier learned to speak, he called her "Mammum" and that name's stuck (mostly on the part of me really disliking my grandmother and not wanting a constant reminder of her). My dad (the one with a sense of humour) chose Grandfather the Better, which would be shortened to Grandfart. That name was so intrinsically him that we have continued to use it. Xavier, now 4 and a half, loved his Grandfart very much and misses him as much as the rest of us.

They can (hopefully) choose.
- I'm 13 weeks pregnant and my mom has already decided to be called Nana because at 43 she'll be too young to be a grandma. (: My dad really hasn't put in much input on what he wants to be called, I told him he seems like a Gramps to me! My fiance's parents will probably be Granny and Grandpa because that's what his sisters 3 kids call them.
