Grandparent names?

With the recent announcement that my stepdaughter is pregnant, I realize the time has come for me to pick a grandparent name.

What’s yours, or what do you call your grandparents?

I called my maternal grandmother Nana. She had some strange ideas. When I was a kid she insisted on me wearing a woolen jumper in bed at night throughout the winter. I couldn't wait to get it off. So we came to an agreement : every night she'd cut a narrow strip off it. My mother only discovered what was going on when there was about half of it left.

@HeavenBesideYou She'd have approved of your username - guardian angel and all that.

@chelsey Yes Mimi is definitely in the running for me too. And it’s not that I’m too young, I’m just not so stuffy

My grandkids call me Papa and Dear Wife Mumu.

@hippyjoe1955 I was thinking Mimi might work.
I always call my grandma...grandma but I use grandad and grandpa interchangeably. Tbh I’m not even sure which he prefers - I will ask him. But anyway I only ever had one set of grandparents so I couldn’t use one for one grandfather and one for the other.

@Mildreadful Thanks for your reply! Grandma doesn’t fit me very well, personally. 🤷
@HeavenBesideYou that’s fair! And you’re welcome ^^

We avoided "cutesy" grandparent names and just went with "Granddaddy" and "Grandmama."

@exexec Grandmama is her grandmothers name already, so that’s out for me.

How about a strong name. Put fear into the boy's. How about little ass kicker
