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.....:)
Bit early for that for me just yet, but my kids call my parent Nan & Pa and on my wifes side its Grammy & Grampy although we no longer have Grammy with us :(
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
Graeme
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:
Ther wife and Iare yet to find out
All three sons only admit to trialinghttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ons/icon10.gifhttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ons/icon10.gifhttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...cons/icon7.gif

Our live in Houstan, so it's Nanny (pronounced Naayanny with a good ole Texas drawl) and Grumpy (that's me to a tee - grump, grump, grump) :D
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.:)
I don't have any gradchildren yet, but i intend to start on the right foot - they can call me Sir!:D
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 :( "
