I've got a Nana & Grandad on my dad's side, and until three years ago I had a Nana on my mums side and until two days ago I also had a Pop on my mums side. We send him off tomorrow (RIP mate).
My daughter currently calls all her grandparents the same as Skew ChiDAMN! gets called. Gurgle, burble, whee....etc. Give her time though and she should be calling them Gran & Poppy (wife's side) and Grandma & Grandpa (my side). Looking forward to the variations she comes up with though.....Retired member

G'day,
Called my g/parents on both sides Grandma and Grandad. Sadly I've only got one g/paent left on my Mum's side and she's as mad as with dimentia and I haven't seen her for at least 9 years - not that she would know me anyway.
My little girl will be calling her g/parents Gran and Gramps on SWMBO's side and Grandma to my Mum, she was also mad as a mad hatter until a few weeks ago and had been for over a year, then a miracle occured and she's back in the land of reality with the rest of us. (long story )
I'll be Pop when my kid/kids (fingers crossed) get old enough to sire their own.

G'day Felder,
My sincerest and deepest symthaties to you Felder and to your family. It doesn't feel like it's real when you hear of a family member passing, because the world just keeps on turning and it doesn't feel right.

My grandkids call me grandpa when they can get their tongues around it, and papa or something similar until they can pronounce the 'gr'. My SIL keeps it consistent by calling me Pa. As he is of Dutch heritage, they call his parents olma and olpa.
Cheers

I don't have any kids and I only met one of my Grandparents. I called her Abuela which is spanish for Grandmother. She didn't like the idea of being called Gran et. al.

Having just had my oldest sons girlfriend stay for the weekend, the idea of what I want my grandchildren to call me has just got one step closer :confused:

My two Canadian grandchildren call me Grandpa, and my wife Nana - their choice. They have different names for their paternal grandparents.
My Aussie grandchildren call me Papa, and my wife Nana, again their choice.
I don't mind what they call me as long as I can be a part of their lives.

G'day,
Sir Alex, that has a nice ring to it.
And when you have to chastise them it'll be, "Y.. Y.. Y.. Y.. Y.. Yes S.. S.. S.. S.. S.. Sir Alex "
