Not strictly for this forum, but all related! Are there any names for grandparents that I've missed for english grandparents? My mum wants their names set in stone and not clashing with OH's parents names so need a few options! I know, I know...

Grandad
Grandfather
Pops
Grandpops

Grandma
Grandmother
Nana
Nan
Nanny
Gran
Granny

As English ones goes you have it all covered. I have french ones so cant add more.

Think you've got it all covered! I would let the grandparents choose their own. You may end up with Granny M and Granny L for example but that doesn't matter.

My mum initially wanted to be nanny, but then kept accidently saying granny (DS isn't even born yet) so we've come to the conclusion she will be granny.

MIL is French so we've got a French term for her (that she chose)

Just let them choose their own. If I get to be one I am going to be Grandma. The DCs will no doubt make their own anyway.
