This is such a sweet thread.

My maternal grandparents were Grandma Sunny and Papa. Sunny was the nickname that Papa gave her when she came to the U.S. from Belgium, and everyone called her Sunny.

My paternal grandfather was also Papa, and Grandma Kitty (short for Kathryn) is still living.

My kids say Grandma First name and Papa First name for both sets of grandparents. I always wondered why we didn't use first names for our Papas, so I made sure to use their names.
