LOL! Our puluna (Hawaiian word for grandparents of the same children, she's our son-in-law's mom) wants her grandsons to call her Bama because she's a Bama fan but they don't call her anything yet. She thought that they should call me Abuela but they had other ideas.

One thing we've learned from many grandparents: if you have a name you really do or don't want the kids to call you, set the groundwork early. Since I didn't, I'm lucky that they started with GrandRose because I've heard some weird grandparent names.
