What to call a grandfather?

Congratulations
My DC called my Father Gramps

DH called one of his DGF grandpop.

Omi and Pops in this house.

When my first grandchild was due I wanted to be called Nanty but my DS was having none of it. I was to be called Nana, just as my mother had been and this wasn't open to negotiation. I'm mildly envious of anyone who is allowed to choose their own grandparental monika

As I said before DH is generally known as Gaga but younger DGD also refers to him as Gagalagalooga, the other older DGC call him Gargs!

Of course there is GN's own Pompa (who is now Wobblybits).

My OH is Grandad Border (he put up the border in our DGD's room) & the other Grandfather is Grandad Trumpet (as he plays the trumpet!)

I am known as Nana and my DH is known as Gangan by the two oldest GDs the younger three call him Gaggy

my father was known as grandpop by my children!

The children often come up with their own words. My grandson calls me granny cat, because we had a cat who has since died. My granddaughter calls my husband granddad, and her other granddad is granddad John. It is something she worked out herself.

I didn't want to be variations of granny or nanny so I choose Ooma and my DH was to be Granpa, but first GC could only say Chumpa so that has stuck. A friend of ours, now sadly deceased was known as Bang to his GCs.

My dd Irish grandfather is granda.
This was helpful as she already had 2 grandads!
What about grandaddy?

Our granddaughter couldn't get her tongue around grand-dad, so my husband has always been Guggle!

My dgd called me 'Obama ' for about 2 yes as she couldn't say grandma! ?

We just ran with the family tradition so it was Grandpa to my Grandma. My DGS often calls me Mummy by mistake .... So sweet.

My daughter started calling my dad Grandpops and the name stuck

My DGS calls one GF Grandad with Henry (his dog) & GM is Nanny with Henry. I am Silly Nanny as i play silly games with DGS.

My children always called my dad Granddaddy!

As has already been mentioned, whatever you decide, your little one will make their own variation when they start talking. Our first (we have 7) couldn't say 'grandpa' it came out as Bumpa! Naturally it has been taken up by all the others, golfing friends and everyone else! He even has the t-shirt! Enjoy, it is the best relationship ever!

Is it a good idea to plan these things and set your heart on a name for yourself, because when they have a go at saying it, a new name occurs which quite often is nicer, special and unique to you

A friend's child mispronounced nanny as 'Nanon' and that has stuck with her, such that the great grandchildren use it and even I still refer to her with that name.
At the nursery where I work we had young twins who referred to their relative as 'white granddad' or 'black granddad' for obvious reasons!

Granny & Pappa

Our children had 2 lots of grandparents so they were Nanny Connie & Grandad Bill and Nanny Rhona & Grandad Peter. We are Nanny & Grandad to our grandchildren. DG1 other side are welsh so calls them Welsh equivelent. DG2 now has new step grandparents and calls them gran & Grandad.

Nain and Teidy are the Welsh for gran and grandad, I am not Welsh my DIL is and oh I do love Tediy, it sums up all those twinkle eyed, well looked after Welsh grandads.

I don't know if it equates to Tidy in Anglish but so many nice grandads are just that.

My dad was Corky when he was a kid and Corky still at 87.

You may not have any choice! I was always going to be Granny and my husband Grandad (the others are Gran and Grandpa so no problem there) but my GD had others ideas for me and it stuck! I just love hearing whatever they call me but think I would have had to draw the line at Nanny (as I'm not Norland trained or a goat and I didn't like mine very much!!). Enjoy your DGC!
