First grandchild gets the honor! I was looking forward to being "grandpa" like my dad and my grandpa. Best the kid could get out was peepaw, so here I am "peepaw" 4 times over and my wife is meemaw! I don't mind not being "grandpa" one little bit!

We picked all the names for the grand parents, except for my mom. She insisted that she be Gigi (gee-gee).
My dad was PawPaw, my stepmom is Grannie, Tina's mom is Grandma, Tina's grandma is Great Grandma. Luckily, Konnor is the only grandkid for all except my mom, so there wasn't any debate when we gave them their names.
Originally posted by rtp View PostI think it goes either way. My wife and I just became grandparents for the first time 2 weeks ago, what a blessing! My wife has had her nickname picked out forever and I said I would let our granddaughter figure mine out. I dont really have a favorite I would want to be called. I think some of the best names are chosen by the kids.

Your wife is correct! The first grandchild will decide what you're called. My maternal grandmother wanted to be called Granny but my cousin Debbie couldn't say Granny, and so she was Ninnie from then on. My mother wanted to be Grammy but my oldest son pronounced it Mammy, so that's what her name is.
