    We have a LOT of grandparents. Our kids call our grandparents by the same things we do. Just our parents have different "names."

    -My mom is Mimsy
    -Her husband is Opa
    -My dad is Papa
    -His wife is Mimi
    -My maternal grandma is Gramma
    -Her husband is Papa
    -My maternal grandpa is Papa
    -His wife is her given first name (by her request)
    -My maternal great-grandma is Nana (yes, my kids have a living great-great)
    -My paternal grandmother is Grammy
    -MIL is MeMe
    -FIL is Ojii (short for Ojiisan- Japanese for grandfather)
    -His wife is Gabba
    -Her mother is Oma
    -GMIL is Grandma, sometimes my DH and SIL call her Obaachan
    -GFIL is Grandpa

    We ended up using the Swedish titles. DH and his family are Swedish and we live here.
    Mormor (mother's mother)
    Farfar & farmor (for the IL's)
    and she used to call my grandma Lola (Filipino for grandma, although technically she was her great-grandma).
