Oh, Dad actually grew up with three Abuelitas in the house: the mothers of both parents, plus an unmarried great-aunt. They were all called Abuelita (Name).
My kids have Gramma and Grandpa n my side and Grams and Gramps on their dad’s side.
Often we refer to Grandma/Grandpa (first name) when we want to be really specific.
My niece calls both sets of grandparents Nonny and Pop
My parents are Granny and Grampa to my children, and Nit-Nit and Papa to my brother’s kids. The “nit nit” came from the song “The wheels on the bus” - the Grannies on the bus go knit knit knit. My mother has knever knitted in her life but the toddler named her and it has stuck. Papa is Grampa from the same semi-verbal toddler five years ago.
My boys’ other grandparents are Baachan and Jiichan (Japanese) and my brother’s kids other grandparents are Nun and Taid (Welsh).
Why not let the kids name you themselves? Something will evolve that you are all happy with!
My grandparents were Grandma & Grandpa, and Nanna & Pop. My Mum is now Granny to my nephews, but Dad is Paki - my sister-in-law is Greek and I think it comes from that. Boy From Mars is Italian so he has a Nonno and a Nonna.
Our kids refer to their maternal grandparents as Grandpa John and Grandma Mary (their first names), and to their paternal grandparents as Granfadder and Grandy (a family tradition; their appellations were first bestowed by their eldest grandchild, now a junior in college).
As it happens, there’s a Grandy, N.C., and we made sure to get pictures of the city-limits sign when we drove through!
Swedish, actually. In Danish you all would have had a Formor and a Forfor (Mom and Dad on Dad’s side) as well as a Mormor and Morfor too (Mom and Dad on Mom’s side)? 
I’d never heard grandfathers called “papa” until after my kids had started calling me that. Confused the living heck out of them and their friends when they tried to figure out who was what. Many first generation Americans I’ve run into seem to believe that we are immigrants ourselves because of “papa”.
Called mine grandma & grandpa and granny & granddad. My kids call theirs nana & granddad (dangrad for a while) and grandma & grandpa
Another one for Poppy, which is what my nieces use. They have little Southern accents, so I find it unbelievably cute when it sounds like “PAW-py.”
My FIL and step-MIL have decided they want to be Molly and Angus. That works for me. All of Mr. Lissar’s grandparents are still alive, so there’s great-Granny and great-Grandad, g-Grandma and g-Grandpa, and my parents, who will probably be Grandma and Grandpa. And Mr. Lissar’s Mum wants to be Umma. She’s getting married. I have no idea what his title will be.
I’m Pop-pop, origin obscure but used throughout my wife’s family, made specific by appending first names.
My grandfather was Faffy, I think from before I could say “Grandfather”. This is the first time I’ve spelled it. He died in '65. My grandmother was always “Grandmother”.
>As it happens, there’s a Grandy, N.C.
And the farm stands there are excellent - as they should be for all the traffic passing through for Outer Banks vacations.
Right you are! Nice BBQ place, too - the name escapes me, but I know right where it is on the roadside.
My great-grandparents are Namaw and Paw-Paw, because that’s what my mom called them when she was a baby. My mom’s parents are Grandma (firstname) and Grandpa (firstname); my dad’s parents were simply Grandma and Grandpa because we lived with them when I was a baby, and it was shorter.
When we have kids, we’ll probably make our parents be Grandma (firstname) and Grandpa (firstname) on both sides.
My aunt is only two years older than I am, and now is married to one of my longtime best friends. We started calling him Uncle Dave as soon as they started dating, and now he’s actually my uncle. It’s a good thing we never dated!
Yes, but only my son’s fathers side is Danish. So he’s got Formor. (Forfor died a week before my son was born, although I do at Christmas show him the Nutcracker I got from ForFor.) My parents are Heinz 57 Canadian, so no I would never dream of Foolieboy calling my mother Mormor. Its Nana, and Papa, he’s the first grandchild and we were thrilled he was talking.
Better Mormor than Mordor.
And they’re also Dutch as well, I believe.
I’m Australian, of Anglo origin, so my maternal grandparents were Nanna and Grandpa. On my dad’s side, the grandparents were known as Poppa and Ma (Ma short for Margaret, my dad’s stepmother). My paternal grandmother died when my Dad was 18, and she’s always been referred to by her given name.
My kids have always called their grandfathers “Poppa”. However my FIL is the most miserable, nasty tempered SOB in the world so my son started calling him “Grouchy Poppa” when he was around 3. One day he said it to his face. That actually made the rat bastard smile.
That would be Grosvater and Grosmutter, Swiss german would be Grospapi and Grosmami oder Grosi
My maternal grandmother was called Gramma (lastname) and my paternal grandparents were called Grammal and Papal (pronounced ‘grammle’ and ‘paple’). I have no idea why.
My kids use Grandma and Grandpa; my niece called my parents Mawmaw and Pawpaw and her kids now do the same for her parents.
My parents waited until their first grandchild came up with names for them. They are now Meemom and Poopop, which all the grandchildren call them.
My grandparents on my father’s side were Dada and Pop (Dada being the pronunciation my eldest cousin gave for Ada May).
My grandparents on my mother’s side were Gammy and Gramp. Gramp was Mo-Mo for a while (from my older brother), but a family decision was made and he was Gramp by the time I was around.
My wife is Samma to our grandkids (her name is Samantha). I am just Granpa Doug, but for most of the grandkids I inevitably start out as Granpa Duck. One grandson, listening to his slightly older brother, was only able to get his mouth around “Biddaguck.” So now some of the grandkids in the 8 to 10-year old range call me Biddaguck for fun.
