What do your children call their grandparents?

[Stillyummy]

Suddenly realised it would kind of be up to me as they will probably call them what I do... My parents don't know what they want to be called while partners have been very specific. At least they haven't all said the same thing!

PIL - Granny and Grandad. But our DC have older cousins, so that was already established.

My DP - Grandma and Grandpa.

Nana and Gaga. ( DGS used to say nana and nan dad but smallest says Gaga and it's stuck )

And The Elbows (!) now Grandmo and ( her husband) Elbow .
Not a clue why or how.

My dad, mum & stepdad: Grandma & Granddad [surnames].
Dh's parents: Granny & Granddad [first names].
I used to call my Grandparents on both sides Nannan and Granddad [surnames].

Nana, but my mum hates it keeps asking when she'll be grandma! !

Grandma and Grandad, and Grandma and Grandpa
My Grandmother was Nana, as is one of my DH's (although she is Nain to our children), his other one is Nan

Grandma and Grandpa. I think this is fine, but at Christmas I learned that DNiece's boyfriend thinks it's a bit weird on the grounds that 'it's not the eighteenth century!'

I've given it some thought, and think I'd prefer to be Granny myself when (if) the time comes.

Nanny I always find a little strange, as surely the first meaning that springs to mind is a paid professional who cares for children? But it seems very popular.

My mum will be Nanny, this is because she tried to get the older grandkids to say Nan as she though that sounded like a cool younger granny (she was a very young grandmother) and maybe people would think her name was Nan. the kids call her Nanny instead.

My Dad is Papa.

In-laws most likely Grandmother and Grandfather.

My parents are nanny and grandad (hate nanny)

DPs grandparents are grandma and grandad.

Alot of people here call their grandads 'granda' is this just a northern thing? DPs grandparents always say granda even though the DC say grandad. I can't stand granda. Sounds weird.

Maternal grandparents - Muetti (this means mum and is what I call my mum, the kids just followed suit, as they call me Mami) and Grandpere

Paternal grandparents - Yaya and Papuchi (Spanish-y nicknames)

whatis yes think Granda is more of a northern thing. Pretty common in the central belt of Scotland.

NC for this post as it this would completely out me.

My mum also wanted something that didn't make her feel old. My children called her "Am'ama" (pronounced am-a-ma, said quite fast) which means mother's mother. It is commonly used in South India. My mum loved it.

Granny

Grandma and grandpa

DH's parents are nanny and grandad (their choice, and already well established)

Mine chose Grandma and Grampy

PIL: Grandma (pronounced Gramma, though) and Papa.

Mine are Mimi and Papa Bob. My dad was going to be Gramps but DS started with Papa Bob. Or "Pah-pob" as toddler DD says. :)

I LOVE 'Papuchi'!!!

Am'ama sounds beautiful with a lovely meaning.

I left it up to them and go along with what they wanted.
My parent - granny and grandad
In laws - nanna and grandad.

Personally I don't like nanna/nanny/nan etc but that's what we have to go with! If it was up to me she'd have been grandma.

My DC call their Grandparents Gran (first name) and Grandad (first name). I'm not even sure how it started but it easily separates them for the dc. I think I may have used it when talking about them, and the DC started using it to them. My Mum likes it as it makes her sound less old.

I think Nanny sounds older than Granny. I hate Nanny with a passion.

I hate nanny. I had an actual nanny when i was a child and it always confused me when i met children who called their grandmother 'nanny'

nice I was a nanny and it would confuse my niece and nephew as to how I could be a nanny too as well as my mum, their grandmother being called nanny.
So they are convinced you can only be called Nanny if you are a young granny. Their paternal granny was rather offended when they shared their logic with her.

Both sets are Gran and Granda. DS only a few months so he'll decide how he differentiates between them - my nephew uses Gran firstname when talking about them but just Gran when he's with either one.

I had Gran and Granda Smith and Gran and Granda Jones (not actual names!) so didn't think it unusual for them not to use different names.

My mum is Nanny.

Dh's parents are Nanny (surname) and Grandpops.

Ideally, I wouldn't have 2 Nanny's but dh's mum insisted.

My parents: Granny M and Grandpops (I call my Dad Pops so he wanted that.

Mil: Granny (Cookie) because we always go to see Granny and cookie the dog.

Fil: Grandpa

My parents - grandma and grandad
Dh's parents - grandma and grandpa.
To distinguish the grandmas, my mum has become little grandma (because she is!) and Dh's is grandma because she was none too impressed at the thought of being big grandma
