They can pick whatever they want, but I am betting what YOU call them to your child is what they will end up being called. Soooo, sabotage is possible.
There was a thread on another mommy site about this and it was hysterical. I do think a lot of grandmas can't deal with "sounding old."

It's happened with us and I think it's totally normal. My daughters have a lot of grandparents since I'm divorced and remarried. So, they have quite a few names for different people. It works better for us that they just picked what they wanted and we went with it.

Personally, I don't like it...but maybe I just don't like my MIL's reasoning as to why she wants to pick her own name, and not be called any variation of grandmother/grandma/granny/nana, etc.
She says she's not OLD enough to be a grandmother. UM. She's only been harassing us about having kids since the day we married, even with all of my reproductive issues. Never mind that both of her kids are in their 30's, so uh, YEAH, she is old enough.

@sloaneandpuffy: My husband and I both plan on sabotaging, and told his mother as much!! hehe

When my oldest niece was born, my SIL's mother insisted on being called Grammy and constantly asked what my mom wanted the kid(s) to call her. My mom's answer was something to affect of whatever they want. My mom loves that the kids have come up with something totally unique that has stuck around.

We chose the same names that we call our own grandparents. No one did any choosing themselves and if they tried to and we didn't like their picks we would have told them so, lol.
