Maternal Grandparents: Mama and Dedo (common in Slavic languages). My cousins called my grandmother Baba. We were around her a lot more often since we lived in the same town (and state), so there was never any confusion on who was Mama.

The only great-grandmother on my mother's side was Baba (again, Slavic). I never knew either of my great-grandfathers, but Baba's husband was always referred to by my mother and her siblings as "my" Dedo.

Paternal Grandparents: Grandma Alice and her husband was Grandpa Earl. My paternal grandfather died before I was born and he is still referred to as Grandpa Kenneth.
Both Great-Grandmothers (paternal) were Grandma [last name]

Nieces refer to my parents as Baba and Bobby (dad's nickname) and their other grandparents as Grandma and Grandpa. They called my grandmothers the same thing that we did: Mama and Grandma Alice.
