What to call a grandfather?

My DH was Gramps, his choice . I'm Nanny although DGS often calls my Nanny Grapes as I often take him a box of black/red grapes when I see him

My DM is Granny (no Great Granny for her)

Our grandchildren call DH Pa. Another suggestion is Pops, which is what friends children call their grandfather. I think it has to be a name that grandchildren will be happy to use when they're older.

My husband is Grandad and the other grandad is Popsie

I am Nanny but my husband, who has a reasonably short christian name, is known as that, quite easy for my 2-year-old grandson to say and my hubby is very happy with this.

Love Moomin, Pay and Adda. I'm called Tatty to my three adult grandchildren and their boy/girlfriends. My ex husband is Grandad.

Our boys called their dad "pops". He is grandpops to our little grandson!

We are Nonna and Grampy, I wanted Nana but DD thought it would confuse DGD as her other grandmother is Nanny. My ex refused to be anything but grandad despite there being another grandad, but our eldest DGD has sorted it out by referring to him as White Grandad due to his white/grey beard - she is not at all confused!

Gaga and Papa here - initiated by our first grandchild and adopted by all following little ones. I don't see myself as 'Grannie' or 'Grandma' and definitely not 'Nanny' or 'Nana'. But each to their own....

My husband is Poppa but my granddaughter calls him Mr Pop-Pop

We are Gran and Grandad, dil's parents live in Lewis so they are Granny and Shen. Shen is Gaelic for Grandfather.

I have 5 grandchildren all in teens and twenties and the all call me Nan or Nanny and my husband Gramps

The chances are the child will find heir own name. When my daughter was little she couldn't say grandpa, and called my dad " baba". He remained our beloved Baba till he died. They had a pet name for my mum too based on her surname and sh was this nam till she passed.

My children had nanny and granny for the grandmothers, (granddads no longer with us) but they were often disappointed trying to buy birthday cards etc with granny on. We have to get grandma usually, although I have noticed nanny is not so common now either(although nanny RIP now too).
So just thought I would stick that side of unusual names in there!

Congratulations! We are GiGi and Pa, the other grandmother is a Greek Yia Yia.

Baba is Grandmother in Croatian!
Grandad is Dida

DH is Grandad as he is the only DGF for some of the DGC.

What about Nonna and Nonno (Italian)? You could be Nonnie for short

Any Welsh in the family? Nain and Taid are popular but my Welsh friend is known as Bampy to his DGC.

Hubby is called Pops by our grandson people often say it sounds posh and pretentious but who cares Dominic loves his pops

DH used to call his step-father Pop
(never thought it was posh or pretentious)

My husband chose to be called Grandfather. None of the grandchildren struggled to pronounce it. Their friends love the idea of it. I'm Granny, I am happy with that.

The other grandparents are Granny and Grandpa and we are nanny and Pops as my husband wont be called granddad!

None of the grandchildren struggled to pronounce it
Goodness!! How amazing that babies just learning to talk and very young toddlers were able to say 'Grandfather'.

Lovely news! As you can see, I'm Gramma & DH is Graffa to put 3 year old US. Don't know where Graffa came from, he just said that's what he wanted to be known as so it stuck. My cousin's children called their Grandfather " Granfer" so I suppose its similar.

"Our 3 year old GS" ! Predictive text huh?!

I love some of these names, especially radicalnan's Welsh ones!

My father's father was called Gramps or Grampy and my niece and nephews, etc called my late dad that. I hope my DGD uses it, but not fussed if she doesn't... I don't think DSS is concerned what she calls him. DILs father is Opa and mum is Oma.

So far I am called.... BA-MAW! She's not saying her 'g's yet. Husband is BOP-PA vs Poppa for her dad.

my fathers parents was very distant both by miles and emotionally, very proper and was called grandad and grandmother, sometimes gran,later by her name at her request. my welsh and much loved mothers parents was called grancher and nan/nanny by all of cousins, brothers.
