What Do You Call Your Grandparents?

[IrishLake]

I was fortunate to have 3 pairs of grandparents growing up, and 2 pairs are still alive. Two pairs are Gramma and Grampa, the third pair is Oma and Grampa.

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.
