Grandparent nicknames - what do you use?

[kmack]

For my sister and I growing up, our grandparents were always called Grandpa & Grandma. When mentioning them to others, we would always add on their last names: Grandpa Mack, Grandma Rockwell, etc.

Apparently, the new norm is nicknames. My Mom would accept nothing less than Mimi. We have friends who are Sassy & Sarge. I know there are some old traditional ones such as Pop, Pa, Pop-Pop, Nana, etc.

As of a week ago, wife & I now have to decide what we want to be called.

My Wife's first run at it was "KAGM" (pronounced 'kagg-em') - Kick A** GrandMa

But that got turned down!

So what's the list of grandparent nicknames now? What do you use - for yours or for yourself? Was it yours to decide, or was it given to you?

My daughter and her husband had their baby last month. First time grandparents here.

I went with Grandpa for now unless the baby comes up with something different for me when he gets older.
Jason Smart suggested I go with “Bowpa”. Lol

Think my wife is going with Lovie but not 100% sure.

My granddad and then my dad went by PaPaw.

My mom is becoming first time grandma in few weeks. She's chosen "Gigi". Not sure how or why. Dad simply said " I dont give a ****"

I'm Papa for our 19 grandkids with number 20 on the way.

my granddad and dad were pawpaw. That seems to work for me too.

My grandkids call me Pa. My wife was supposed to be LaLa but kids can't say L's very well so she's YaYa.

Dad's Dad was Granddad to me & my sister, but the 3 cousins called him Memo.
Dad's Mom was Nana to all of us.

Mom's Dad was Gramp
Mom's Mom was Grandmother to me, but she asked to be called GG (for great grandmother) when our kids came along & it sorta stuck.

My kids called Dad Granddad & my sister's kids called him Papi.
My kids call Mom Nana & my sisters kids call her Granny.

At some point when they were teenagers my sons started calling me "Pops" so now my grandsons do too.

[Kingfisher789]

My grandkids call me Pa. My wife was supposed to be LaLa but kids can't say L's very well so she's YaYa.

That’s funny. My little girl couldn’t say Brian when her mom would call her brother off of the school bus. He’s a “ Ya Ya” now too.
