My mama's parents are Mamaw and Granddaddy(deceased).
Her maternal grandmother was Mamaw Haynes. I never knew my great grandfather.
Her paternal step grandmother was Nanny (real name Nancy) and grandfather was Aayah (first grandchild's attempt to say his name, Aubrey). Her paternal grandmother was Grandmother.
My daddy's parents were Grandma and Pepaw though originally we called her Memaw. After Pepaw died, and I went to college near her, she told me she didn't like Memaw so we all changed it to Grandma.

My parents are called Mimi and Papa. Neither wanted to be grand anything or be confused with other grandparents. Mama wanted to be Nanny, but her sister claimed it bc her name is Nancy. BTW, when we call my father "Daddy" it sounds more like "deady" in our accent. Odd I know, but that's how we all say it. My husband laughs at me all the time.

.My daddy was always Daddy. My mother & her siblings called theirs Daddy until he died (at 97!), too.

When I think of my mother, I think of Mama or Mommy (for when I'm depressed or miss her a lot), but when I was working with her, I called her Dixie. We also had a joke about calling each other "Hey, Lady".
