Names for Grandparents

My grandma will eternally be known as Dukes

my great grandma was "binka nanna," because when my cousin was little she tried to call her "bigger nanna" and mispronounced it.

Don’t have any special nicknames for my grandparents, closest thing I have to a nickname is calling them, Big Nan, or big pop

My grandma on my mom's side wanted to be called "Nana" but we already had an aunt in my dad's side called "Nana" so my mom tried to have us call her "Nana Kathy" (her first name).
Well, after trying, i ended up calling her "Mister Cabbie" ( I don't know how I got Cabbie, but Mister was probably from how her voice was low from smoking). After a while, we dropped "Mister" and just called her "Cabbie". She was awesome. I hope.shes resting well.

Y'all, I never realized how common this was. Cause I would've gotten in SO much trouble if I called them anything but something deemed "acceptable". I had Grandma (dad's mom), Blind Grandma (mom's mom), Grandma Little (mom's grandma), and... Henry (mom's dad). All my other siblings call him Grandpa but he hasn't been around enough for the nane to stick with me I guess 😅

Why do people think the grandparents get to choose? My grandmother tried to choose and now she's que-ee because that's what my older sister could pronounce.

To differentiate between my two sets of grandparents I was taught to call my dad's parents Bubbe and Zeyde (Yiddish for "grandmother and grandfather) but because my dad would jokingly call her Bubbele, I started doing the same, so now I have my Bubbele and Zeydele (little grandmother and little grandfather).
This has of course expanded ro covering my parents (Mamele and Tatele) and even my dog which I sometimes call my Huntele

My niece and nephews call my mom "Grandma Wizard"

My grandma's name is Baba, and she is known by that name all throughout my family. The reason is that either me or my brother couldn't pronounce Brenda properly. Baba just kinda stuck. Now, she even has a tee-shirt that says, "Baba of 5!"

Mine were Gramma and Grammy (both my grandfathers had died before we were born) and when my sister had her kids her mother in law decided "I want to be Grammy" stealing that from my mother. And that's how my mom became "Emmy"

Mine were technically boring:
On my mother's side was grandma, (my maternal grandfather died well before I was born[1]).
On my father's side was Babcia and Dziadek, if you're Polish you know that's just grandmother and grandfather, if you're not you probably pronounced them wrong.
[1] I was born in '73, he was in the British Merchant Marine during WWI, (no, not a typo).

I had two Grandpa Steves, so one of them became Grandpa Beard. (He doesn’t even have that big of a beard)

Most of my grandparent nicknames are normal- Granny and Pop Pop, Grandma- but Grandma's late husband is Grumpus.

My great grandma was a babysitter, and most kids she babysat called her nanny. It stuck, and we all called her that. I think someone else was called meemaw, and my grandpa was papaw (paw-paw), which was also what we called his dad. We had a big family so there were lots of weird names such as these. Strangely my grandma never got a nickname, she's just grandma.

On my mom's side, Granny and Grampa.
On my dad's side, Gran and Grampa Sir.

My late grandfather's nickname was Bampa. I miss him.

Paternal: "Church Gandma" & "Church Gandpa". (We mostly only saw them on Sundays due to Church & at Holidays/Birthdays. Long drive & dad worked overnights.)
Maternal: "Doodah" (She sung that song alot), "Fishin' Papaw" (He liked to fish), and "Papaw Chuck" (Chuck is his name & he was my mom's Step-Dad who married her mom when my mom was 16, so a bit old to form a parent-child connection.)

I'm sorry...
"Queen Bitch and DEATHBLADE"
Goes really friking hard 🔥🔥🔥

My maternal grandparents were just boring Grandma and Grandpa. But my paternal grandparents were Grammy and Grumpy

My grandparents were Yahki, and Bahku
These are my tribes words for "Mother" and "Father", and we copied this from our parents (because they would call them that)
It stuck until people gave us weird eyes and we had to stop

on My Mum's Side it's Memaw and Pepaw, and on My Dad's it's Gramps and Nana

Me and my sibling: I will call you… Grand-P
My grandpa: no you won’t
And we never did 😂

My maternal grandparents were called Grandpa/Grandma (first name) while the paternal grandparent was called by the surname, due to the other paternal grandparent being dead.

My grandma was Nana, which seems normal at first, but everyone called her that. Friends, family, my dad (her son), etc. She was all our nana ❤

We called my grandparents by the towns they lived in. I'm german, so it was "Oma & Opa Oldendorf" on my Dad's side and "Oma & Opa Fintel" on my mom's side, respectively. Always seemed natural for us. Also, we had an aunt named "Mary" on both sides of the family tree, so one was the tall aunt Mary and the other was the small aunt Mary. :D

Mine were Grammy and Poppy on my Dad's side and MawMaw and Papa on my mom's. I have also told my mom that I am gonna tell my kids her nickname is something stupid and silly

i have a grandfather that i call "montgomery" despite it not actually being his name

Honestly, for the time I could remember, I only had two grandparents, so I was really normie and Mum's dad was Grandpa while Dad's mother was Nanna. Nanna's husband was also "grandpa", but he died right after my parents married, and Mum's Mum (Grandma) died when I was 6 months old. If I ever had to specifiy, I would just say "Grandpa, Dad's dad".

I named everyone in my family. Gammo and Poppo. Aunt Hairy and Aunt Nene. Gammo Susan, Big Gammo, And Nother Gammo. At one time in my early childhood I met all five of my grandmothers. When I met the last one, apparently I said "'Nother Gammo?" As in I was asking if it was another grandma. The name stuck.

Mama Lemon, Grumpaw
Boompa, (both wives died)

The "Méme" reference is probably referring to either "grand-mère" (the proper French term for grandma) or "mamie" (which is the more casual term, more like "Granny" or the UK term "Gran").

Nanee and papa

My grandma and grandpa are known as Memaw and Popo

Called my grandpa (technically step grandpa but I’ve only met the real one once) dot. His name was don. Everyone else called him don so I have no idea where that came from but my brother and I called him that at least since we were toddlers

Mine were oma [name] and opa [name] on both sides (Dutch for grandma and grandpa), so pretty boring, I guess

I call my grandad "Gandi" because my older sister was never able to pronounce grandad so it stuck. Also my nan is Nannie Annie. Not because her name is Annie or anything. That was her dog's name

My grandparents on my mom’s side are MawMaw and PawPaw, my grandparents on my dad’s side were grandma and grandpa, can you tell which ones were more strict?

I called one of my grandmas NerNer. I was the 3rd grandchild but somehow my name stuck

We call my Grandfather 'magrão',whjch from portuguese translates to 'skinny'

My grandparents are very long died :( ,nice Video

I had a Méme too - my grandma had me spell it M'mere tho

My great grandparents are memo & bempo. They died when I was very young, but everyone refers to them as that. Aunts, uncles, cousins, everyone. Do i know why they're called that? No. Does anyone know why they're called that? At this point, I kind of doubt it.
