What do your grandkids call you?

[eweissenbach]

For some reason our twin grandsons which are now 17 started calling me "popeye" (their other grandfather was papa) when they were old enough to start talking. Since then all our other four have called me "popeye", and I LOVE it. They call my wife Lala, which is their version of her name Lila.

[Cantwaittoarrive]

Mine call me money oh wait that's what they call me to get

[2BNTV]

My only granddaughter calls me grandpa or "daddy's daddy" to explain the difference between three grandfathers if all are present.

[SteveG]

Pops.

[steamdogman]

I am Bapa and my wife is Mimi. First grandaughter was young and could not say Grandpa and Gramdma so we became Mimi and Bapa and all of the grandkids after that all call us that as well

[samhass]

I am Grammy, Gram, and Grammy Grams to my Granddaughter. My Grandson calls me Grandma Debbie.

[redwitch]

I'm Nana because his other grandmother was already Grandma to her first grandson. Wasn't sure I'd like that designation but I think I'd love anything the little monster chooses to call me. (Man, three year olds are tough on us old folks, especially when they're all boy!)

[pooh]

We're Gramma and Grampa. Mike's mother is Gramma-Great and their other great Grandmother is Nanny. Every once in a while, we'll be called Pat and Mike...:D

[paulascorpio]

We're Nanny and Poppi....

[Mr. Grampi II]

My 3 grown daughters called my late father "Mr. Grampi.... thus my name on this board. My only grandson is all of 9 months old, he calls me "oti doti".... translation unknown but perhaps it means Mr Grampi !

[anarick]

gramp, grandpa, grandpa rick, grannie or grandma ana
For Christmas or birthdays it's My favorite Grandpa.

My MIL informed us in no uncertain terms, at the birth of our first son, that she "was to be called Mimi and nothing else." I was in the process of getting annoyed about this when my FIL said, "Well, if she's going to be Mimi, I want to be Pee Pee!"

Hard to stay mad after that.

[jblum315]

I'm Mimi to half of them and Grandma to the others because their other grandmother took Mimi. I wanted to be Nana but it didn't appeal. My late husband said he was too young to be called Grandpa but agreed to be called Uncle Grandpa.

[2newyorkers]

Our grandchildren call us Papa and Sugar. I like to think it is because I am so sweet.

[tainsley]

Call me maybe?...I do not have any grandchildren yet...

[jimbo2012]

We were young as grand parents, so I didn't want to sound old.

Settled on GranDad

My 3 year old granddaughter calls my husband papa and calls me gannie. She couldn't pronounce the "gr" sound when she was little and started saying gannie. I loved it and it stuck. She calls her other grandmothers nana and mom mom.

I loved this thread. The answers are fun to read.

[dsweet12]

My grandkids call me, Grampa - Goat! Don't know why.

[BarryRX]

I love it! This is like Art Linkletters "Kids say the darndest things". We are Nana and Grandpapa.

[Mack184]

Interesting thread. When we were growing up once my sister and I were able to produce the right sounds we were taught by my parents that only grandma & grandpa or grandmother & grandfather were acceptable. So those were the only choices. We have 3 grown sons two of which are married, but we have no grandchildren so that has not been an issue yet.

I am not the actual father of "our" sons although I have been the prevalent father figure for most of their lives. They call me by my first name which I am OK with, (and encouraged) although it horrifies my mother to hear them do that. My wife's mother & dad are less formal than my mother is so it's not a big deal for them.

[bogeybabe]

Mine call me GRANDMA FLORIDA!....they live in Ohio ......:laugh:

[CFrance]

My grandkids call me, Grampa - Goat! Don't know why.`

Perhaps someone referred to you (behind your back but within earshot of the grandchildren) as an OLD GOAT???!!!:shrug:

[Someday Came]

My grandchildren call us
Mema and Grandpa

[ssmith]

My first grandchild (we have 5 and counting) could not say my name so she dubbed me Gigi and she named my husband Poppi Bear (the other grandpa is Poppi) it stuck cause my husband has been known to growl (be grumpy) at times like a bear so I didn't let that one be put to sleep ;).

[villager]

We are Granna and Grandpap

[Redrok]

We were named Gran & Gramps.

[In awe of TV]

I'm a Mimi, the other grandmother is Nana and grandfather is Poppi. So adorable.

[rhondac]

Nana and Pop

[Dirigo]

My kids called me Dad and my second wife (their step-mother) Di (short for Diane). So we are Dad and Di to them.

Our grand kids call us Grand Dad and Grand Di. It works for us...
