What do your Grandkids call you and your spouse?

Looking for options for when that time comes.

If something other then the norm, or from a language other the English, give a phonetic pronunciation key Please.

I don't have grandchildren, but I called my grandparents by their first names.

My inlaws are from Peru and they were called Moma Cata and Papa Vera. Cata is short for Catalina and Vera is their last name.

My parents insist on being called "Nana" and "Poppa."

I called all of mine "Grammie and Grampie". My kids call my parents that now.....and I cannot wait to hear myself called "Grammie" someday!

One calls us Grammie Bear and Grampie Bear ( made this one up all by himself) The other 8 call us Grammie and Grampie.
My dad's mom always wanted us to call her Mammie (I do not know why ) and her husband was Ganddad , My other grandmother wanted to be called Nannie and her husband was Grampie.

Two of my grandkids call me Greemaw and the other two call me Gringaw. The oldest of the bunch when he learned to talk called me Greemaw and the rest followed or adapted their own spin. Sigh! I wanted them to call me Granny. LOL
Oh by the way --their ages are now 29, 25, 19 and 18 !

I don't have any grandkids but my son has lots of grand-parents and great-grandparents.

Wesley calls my husband's dad and stepmom Grandma and Grandpa Wally, because of their dog Wally. (He came up with this one). He calls my mom and dad gramma and grampa. He calls my husband's mom and stepdad grandma and Poppa.

No grandkids yet but my dks called my In-laws Grandma and Grandpa (very traditional) and they called my parents Grandmama and Papa

My ds still calls my Mom...Grandmama when he talks to her.

When my parents in law first becamse grandparents they were only 47 and they refused to be called opa and oma (Dutch for Grandpa and Grandma) because they said that that was only for old people.
(BTW they still say that even though that are now 80.)
So my sil's kids grew up calling them by their first names.

When our kids came along we were more traditional and insisted that they be called at least something resembling opa or oma.

So my Dutch parents in law decided that they liked the English grandpa and grandma.

Maybe you can use the Dutch version Opa and Oma.

**Grainlady** · 10-20-2009, 07:36 AM

We're Opa and Oma too.

**tigo** · 10-20-2009, 07:52 AM

Nana and Grampy.

**jantana** · 10-20-2009, 08:53 AM

It was suppose to be Grannie and Poppa, but so far it's been Gannie and Poppa.

My nephew called my mother "Wo-wo". We think he was trying to say Wanda because he heard others calling her that.
To avoid a wierd name, I decided to try to get my granddaughters to call me something that sort of sounded like my name - Jean.
So they call me Gigi.
