I called both my sets of grandparents "Nan" and "Gramp" but my kids called my DH's mom "G'ma" (pronounced gee-ma, which was her choice) and Papa. Just wondering what you or your children call thier grandparents.
 
My parents are Gigi and Poppy.

DH's parents are Nanny and Papa.
 
I called my maternal grandmother Grandma or Grammie
I called my paternal grandmother Grandma J.

Both of my grandfathers died before I was born. I think the grandkids called them Grandpo.
 

Mema and Poppa on DH's side - courtesy of my oldest niece.
Grandpa & Nana on my side. - DS is the first grandchild, so we got to pick.

When I was kid, it was Grandma (Last Name) and Grandma (Other Last Name).
Both of my Grandfathers were already gone.
 
Our granddaughters have soooo many grandparents that they are called by their names i.e. Grandpa John, Grandma Linda, etc.
 
My grandparents were grandma and grandpa
DH's were/are Mamaw and Pawpaw

My kids call my mom Gan (my dad passed before any of the kids could talk). They call DH's parents Nanny and Pa. My oldest couldn't say grandpa, which is how he became Pa.
 
My daughter calls my dad "Poppycakes"- she came up with this name when she was 2. She just starting calling him Poppycakes. I have no idea where that came from but it's too darn cute.
My daughter calls my mom "Judybug"- this nickname comes from a lady who used to work with my mother a long time ago: This lady (who was from Honduras) thought the song "Wake Me Up before you Go Go" said "do the judybug" instead "do the jitterbug". We thought it was so funny we adopted that name for my mom. When I got married even my hubby calls her that. So, my parents are Judybug and Poppycakes.:cutie:
 
My maternal gp's were Mom Mom & Pop Pop (Pennsylvania Dutch)
Paternal = Gramma & Grampa

DS calls my parents Mom Mom & Pop Pop
He calls DH's parents Gramma & Grampa

DH's nephew calls one set Mee-Ma & Grampa
He calls his great-grandma Mee-Mee
not sure where that comes from
 
My parents are Nonnie and Poppie!

DH's mom is Gram (Gramp's passed away in '01)!
 
I called my maternal grandparents Mama and Daddy, I lived with them until I was 2 so it made sense. Paternal grandparents were Grandpop and Grandmom which I later changed to Gram.
My kids called both grandmothers Grandmom and my dad was Grandpop.
My grandkids have normal and unique names for us. My parents are Big Pop and Big Grandmom. They call their other great-grandmother GG. The other grandparents are Mom Mom and Pop Pop or Grammy and Poppy. My DH is Poppy and I get Grandmom or Memoo or Memaw from my one grandson. He is 3 and has just started talking, he has a hearing problem. I have a feeling that Memoo will stick.
 
All of my grandparents are Grandma (last name) or Grandpa (last name). Although, my mom's mom likes me to call her Grams.. lol. :goodvibes

My fiance calls his mom's parents Grandma and Grandpa, and he calls his dad's mom Mawmaw.

My parents have already decided that when my fiance and I have kids, they want to be called Nana Kim and Papa T (my dad's name is Terry) .. haha! I have no idea why, they just made it up. :upsidedow
 
Our grandchildren call us Gia and Poppy. Gia was coined because my oldest granddaughter couldn't get Grandmommy out and started with G'ma which rapidly became Gia. My youngest grandson (22 months old) has a problem with Gia and calls me Ga-chi...we'll see it that sticks with him or not.
Grandkids call my mom (their only living great grandparent) Grammy. When my dad was alive the two oldest called him PopPop. God, I miss him!
 
my girls call my mom 'Ommie' (rhymes with mommy!)
 
I called my maternal grandparents Grammy and Grampa and my paternal grandparents(didn't see them after age 10)Gramma and Grampa(last name). My kids call both sets of grandparents Grammy and Grampy(last name). My DS is expecting his first child and his DGF has asked me what my husband and I want to be called - I think I'm going with Grammy SuSu - my nieces and their friends call me SuSu and I love the name! Not sure if my DH is gonna be another Grampy or not - that's his decision!
 
My grandparents were "Grandma & Grandpa".

My kids called their grandparents "Grandma & Grandpa".

Now, my grandkids call me "Grandma"!:lovestruc

TC:cool1:
 
I call my Dad's parents Grandma and Granddad. I call my mom's mom, Gee-ma and when my maternal grandpa was alive I called him grandpa.
 
my daughter alternates between calling my mom Goo Goo and Ploopy. her other grandparents she calls grandma and grandpa.
