What do your children call their grandparents?

[Posey]

My parents are grandma and grandpa.
Dh's are gran and grandad.

Where we live, most people call them nan and grandad.

MIL and FIL stated that they wanted to be called my their real names as they felt too young to be grandparents ( both over 60 )

My M&D are called Grannish and Grandpa Nutcase ....

Guess who they see more often

When we were little they both refused to be "granny", so we called them both "fat grandma" and "little grandma"

So my parents were keen to be called something different to dh's parents!!
Mine: grandma and grandpa
His: granny and grandad

My parents are Granny and Poppa - dad came up with Poppa, which he prefers to Grandpa or Grandad.

Dh's father is Grandad Ken (his choice - to differentiate himself from other grandads of my nephews and nieces)

my dd calls her 3 grandparents all "Ga-Ga".And very appropriate it is too! however she also sees anyone with grey hair as a "Ga-Ga" so was saying it very loudly to a lady in front of us in the supermarket queue today!

My Mum is Nana and her BF is 'heeorgee' (Spanish pronounciation of George.

My Dad is Grandma and my FIL is Grandad and his GF is Nanny Sue.

Dp's mum is Granny, mt mum is nanny, my dad is grandad.

I come from a big, extended family where NONE of the older generation wants to be straightforward Grandma and Grandpa, Granny or Nan. So, we've got lots of affectionate names which include:
Mimi and Pop
Coco
Bebe
Honey

Grandparent names that are not used by our family, but which made me laugh are:
Grambo
and for a particularly beautiful older woman - Glam-Ma

nanny and granddad (dp's side), and Oma (my mum, being Dutch).

Gran and Grandad for in laws (they chose themselves)
G Man and Granny M for my parents.

Grandma & Grandpa (called the same by all their grandchildren), Granny[first name] and Grandad (only 1 grandchild on that side and also a greatgrandmother known as granny[surname] hence granny[firstname]

My mum = gin-gin (with g as in grin not g as in gin and tonic;
DH's mum: Amma
DH's dad: Arvi

Nanna and grandad for us, though sadly, no grandads still alive. Each set of grandparents were differentiated by the addition of their cat's names to the nanna bit!

my parents and nanny and grandad, dh parents grandma and grandad.

i used to have to call my step-grandparents "mamMA" and "papPA". They were a bit posh

Oh hello spacedonkey Nice to see u back online!

hello bh, i only wish i was - still slumming it at the internet caff though

Both sets are Nanny and Grandad.
My parents are Nanny and Grandad Village-where-they-live.
DP's parents are Nanny First Name and Grandad First Name (their choice).

My parents are known as granny and granda.
DH's father is grandpa, although they hardly ever see him and when they talk about him they refer to him as "M's dad".

I used to call my mum's dad "grandad with the whiskers" and my dad's dad "grandad with the no whiskers"

They are known as Nanny and Gran Gran x

Granny and Opa (he is german) and Grandma and Grandpa. Great grandparents are Big G and GaGa (which she is not too pleased about really!)

Yorkiegirl - I think you're the only person to mention a grampy, which is what the men on my mum's side of the family are referred to. When I was at primary school, I never told anyone (except best mate) that I called my grandfather Grampy as they all said grandad. Didn't like being different.

my parents are 'mamu' and 'papa'. my niece, the first grandchild, managed to get these terms out of 'grandma' and 'grandpa'. the nicknames stuck.

dh's parents are 'nana' and 'da'. dd came up w/those herself.

yiayia - Dh's mum, and papou for his dad (now dead)

Nanny - my mum, they call my stepdad by his first name because I do, but I regret not getting them to call him something else (what I don't know!)

Great Nan - my mum's mum, my nan!
