Ok just found out the Maternal Grandparents in that family are - Pops and Noni.

Not a Grandma in the bunch.

I know this is just bringing my own stuff to other situations, but my first experience with a Granparent not have a "grand" name was the grandmother of my cousins, the one we do not share. She famously announced that she was "too young to be a Grandmother" (nevermind that she became a mother before 18) so she went by Mommo. They were Mommo and Daddo. And while Daddo was a dear sweet man, Mommo was a spiteful parent and grandparent who chose favorite and was demanding and passive aggressive. So I always wonder what is behind people's choices. Of course usually it is just a family thing they are carrying on and not at all anything connected to my psychoanalyzing.

BooPaw is awesome.

My parents are Bubbe and PaBill (how 2 year-old Dylan said Grandpa Bill). Still wish we could have talked him into Zayde, but oh well.

BooPaw is definitely excellent. For a little while, S's dad was PeaPa, when Sara was really little. But they were always Grandma and Grandpa otherwise. My parents are Nana and Pappy.

My grands were MomMom and PopPop and Mimi and Goggie (courtesy of first grandchild, me).

My nephew came up with Nina for my Mom and Bubpa/Buppa (I'm not sure how this gets spelled) for my dad. I was there when he first called my dad that. He was a wee little toddler and we'd gone for a walk/tow him in the wagon. Dad had not gone for a walk and when we rounded the corner and saw Dad in the yard E said, with a voice full of love and awe "Bubpa" and like flew to him as fast as he could on his chubby little toddler legs.

My dad is and has always been E's favorite person.

Instead of Daddy for the longest time he said "Deeda" I think when he finally hit pre schoool he switched to Daddy. My brother loved having his own special name.

I called my grandparents Grandma and Grandpa First name. Except my mom's mom who was Grandma First and Middle Name.

one set of cousins called my paternal Grandpa PawPaw but we never did. This Grandpa had nicknames for all the cousins - Little Missy, Little Beaver, Thumper, Sassafras and I can't remember the other one. I was Little Missy.

Timelies all!

My parents are Grandma and Grandpa. Gary's mom is Nana Herfirstname. Gary's dad and stepmom are Saba and Sovta(guessing on the spelling, as those are hebrew words for Grandpa and Grandma).

My paternal grandmother was Grandma, and my maternal grandmother was Mammoo (thanks to the first child of my generation on that side being unable to pronounce Memaw corectly as a toddler; she fared better than his paternal grandmother, Ka-ka). Both grandfathers were long dead before grandkids entered the picture, so they were never really called anything.

I always expected and wanted to be called Nana, but our stepson already had a Nana, and I wanted him to call me the same as any other grandchildren, so I settled on Grammie. It does stand out against MeeMaw, Nana, and Grandma Shirley, and it was a sturdy stanchon in the welter of step-grands as their mother married five times and they were presented with a smorgasbord of grandmother names and a few grandfather names as well. H has only ever been Grampa. "You know the rule when you borrow the car?" "Yes, Grampa."

Amy, were your Mom-Mom and Pop-Pop from the Mid-Atlantic? I've only ever heard people from around here use those names. My Mom joked about being called Granny, as in the image of an old granny in a rocking chair smoking a pipe on a porch. It stuck, though!

They were, lisah! Delaware, in fact, although MomMom was born and raised in West Virginia.

Actually, the old great grandparent I had was my father's grandmother, Gram Morgan. And by the time I knew her she was Gram to pretty much everyone, including neighbors and people at church.

We saw the touring production of Hamilton today! So good!
