Grandparent names

[jdb in AZ]

Our young grandson started calling us Gummy and Guppy. The names have nothing to do with my teeth, or DH's size. The names stuck, and we actually like them better than grandma and grandpa.

My wife’s side, they were Papa and Nana (FIL passed many years ago, however). My parents are Grandma and Grandpa.

Growing up, I recall calling my Dad’s stepmom (his father’s second wife - his mother died when he was a teenager) Grandma (last name) and my Mom’s mother was “Plain Grandma” (as in no need to use a last name, just plain Grandma)

my mother had a Zayde. Her other grandfather passed before she was born. I don't know what my father might have called his one grandfather who passed when my father was 3, the other one had passed away well before he was born.
Both of my sets of grandparents were grandma and grandpa. Pronounced without the d by me. But since one set lived 5 blocks away and the other set many states away, in practice the out of state ones were often referred to as "grandma and grandpa in ..." name of state when we were talking about them

Marie and I are Nana and Papa to all our grandkids, Natalie's and Vince's kids. The other sets of grandparents are/were Grandma and Grandpa. Easy to know which people are being referred to in conversations.
