but I called my grandparents Grandpa and Nana (My dad's father and his second wife. dad's mom died when he was 17...and we really didn't like Dorothy much. She was one of thos who thought your bed should be made and you should be "dressed" for breakfast! Grandpa was kind of a grouch, too.. )

Never knew my mom's Dad... My mom's mom was "Ma-Maw" she was from Mississippi and I loved her to death!

When my kids were old enough, my son was the first to dub my Mom "nana" and even though we didn't really like the other Nana...my Mom was beloved by my kids and they still talk about my parent's with fondness and grief. (they both passed in 2022/2023) My dad was Grandpa.

they were simply "Grampa" and "Grandma". To all of her grandkids, my maternal grandmother was "Nana", except for me. For some unknown reason I chose to call her "Numdi", and she seemed to like it.

I have no kids, no grands. Probably a good thing. As cranky as I've been lately, I hate to imagine what they'd call me!

So we called her GG.

We called my fathers side Granma& Poppa.
On my moms it was babcia (boo-sha) & dziadek(zha-zha) Grandmother & grandfather in Polish, very very ethnic Detroit neighborhood.

She was as much of a grandmother to us as anyone could have ever been. When I was learning to talk I called her "Gago" which was probably an attempt to say grandmother; when her son's children started calling her that she told me I was grown up enough to just call her Hilda. She wanted her natural grandchildren to call her grandmother, which I was old enough to appreciate.

My mother's mom passed away before my parents ever met, so I only knew about her.

I called my other grandparents Granny and Jack. He went by Jack and when I started calling him that (oldest grandchild) all 6 of the grandkids called him that.

My "Grandma Name" is "Gran", which is what all of my mother's grandchildren called her. One of my sisters grandkids all call her that; the other sister is called Gran by her son's children. (he wasn't having it any other way!)

My older cousin's first child Stevie (and the FIRST great-grandchild of my mother's mom) for some reason could not say Grandma.

He called her 'GROCIOUS'.
(Pronounced GROW'- shiss.)

After a while we ALL started to refer to her as GROCIOUS.

ROFL!!!
