I called my grandparents on my dads side mamaw and papaw. On my mothers side I don't remember what I called them as a child, they didn't come around very often.
DS calls my parents nana & papaw and calls DH parents granny & grandpa. He also refers to my grandparents as grandma hair (she is a hair stylist) and grandpa.
I had two Grannies. To differentiate when we walked about them, they were Granny "Smith" and Granny "Jones." But if we talked TO them, they were just Granny. One grandfather was Papaw. The other name I have yet to hear anyone else use. He was Popsey....pronounced pop-see. He was the one and only Popsey in our family.
I was looking for a grandmother name for myself but jeesh I HOPE to god it is not Ding Dong. Although we have friends who call their grandmother "moppy"
I really do not want one of those granny sitting in a rocking chair names. I was thinking of "mimi' Anyone have something that I won't be embarrassed by when my GK's scream it out in a store?
As I posted before, my kids call my daddy (had to do it) Pa, and so does my younger sister's son. My 20 yr old nephew is not my father's biological grandchild, but he might as well be (my older sisters were 8 and 7 when my parents married). He calls my father "dude." Always has-I guess because Full House was big when he was a little boy, and that is what Michelle called everyone!
My mom's parents are Grandma and PawPaw.
My dad's parents are MawMaw and PawPaw.
Then my great-grandmothers are Granny, MawMaw Ag, and MawMaw Woodward.
My husband's grandfather is Grandad.
My husband and I still trying to figure out what our little one will call our parents. The only one I know for sure if my dad HAS to be PawPaw!
my grandparents were maw-maw and paw-paw, until my now 18 year old cousin came along, then they became gagee and papa. my papa is now deceased. my paternal grandparents were both deceased by the time i was 2, so i never had the chance to really give them names.
my husband's grandparents were maw-maw and pop, and nanny and B. they're all now deceased. my gagee is the only one still living.
