My grandfather I guess will just be Pop Pop, which is what I call him. (But my dad will be Pop, and DH's dad will be Lolo, so no confusion there). I only have them, DH only has his one grandmother left, I think she'll be called Grand-Lola? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknames-for-great-grandparent#post-2117999 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 08:03:33 +0000 JMOM 2117999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a Papa and a Nonnie.

He calls her the same thing I do- Nanny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknames-for-great-grandparent#post-2117828 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 20:42:13 +0000 Mae 2117828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our LO is too young to call them anything but my cousins' kids call my grandma "Cane" lol. It started because when the oldest one was learning to talk he was obsessed with my grandma's cane... so she became Grandma Cane to that generation of kids and that evolved to just calling her Cane. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknames-for-great-grandparent#post-2117826 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 20:40:01 +0000 Torchwood 2117826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our LO will only have 3 great-grandparents, so hopefully it won't be too difficult. Growing up a couple of mine had different names than any of my grandparents (Granny and Paw-paw vs. Grandma and Grandaddy/Grandpa), but not sure if those were what they were called by my parents or not. The others all just got called by Grandma/Grandaddy plus their last name. I'm figuring we'll do something similar, except to me that would be weird since that would mean calling my grandparents what I used to call my great-grandparents. Hmm. I hadn't thought of this before! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknames-for-great-grandparent#post-2117787 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 20:08:53 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2117787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO doesn't have a great-grandpa but she calls my grandma Gigi and she just calls DH's grandma Memaw like he does.

Another set just goes by the names we call them as grand kids since it doesn't match any other grandparents names. The third set we just add the last name which isn't my favorite but DS picked it up quickly &amp; we don't see the 4th set and refer to them with their last name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nicknames-for-great-grandparent#post-2117657 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 18:04:33 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 2117657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids have one great-grandma, my nana!
