What name did/do you use?

[zissou'smom]

Mommie (that's how she spells it herself), and either Dad or Father.

My father's mom was Gramma, and my Mommie's Mom was Grams and her dad was Popo. I still call them Grams and Popo to family.

I can't imagine calling them by their first names. It would be so... culturally uncomfortable for me to even hear that. Like when Professors insist on being called by their first name. I just don't call them any name then. My brother-in-law still calls my parents Mr and Mrs (my last name), and shakes my dad's hand. What can I say, we're waspish.

I can't decide what I want my nephew to call me, and neither can my parents. I like "Auntie" better than "Aunt" because it would come out as something like "Annie Juwie" and sound really fun.

Mom's parents = Granny and Granpa

Dad's parents = Grandma Pam (I never met my grandfather)

Mom is Mom, Dad is Dad.

My Mother's parents are Gram and Gramp. My Dad's are Grandma *insert first name* and Grandpa *insert first name*.

My nephew calls DH's step-father Papa John which always cracks me up! (His name is John) My aunt goes by Noni.

Her father: Giddo (rhymes with "key doe")
Her Grandmother: Big Baba ("Big" as in great, not large. She was only 4'10" tall)

Your post made me think, my step-siblings reffer to their mother's mother as little Grandma and my step-dad's mother as Big-Grandma. You can guess why!

Mom and dad and grandma and grandpa

 

[semiferal]

Mom and Dad/Daddy. Grandmothers were/are "Gram" or "Gramma". Both my grandfathers died before I was born so I never had any names for them.
