cute thread...

Maternal Grandmother: Big Momma (RIP)
Maternal G'father: Granddaddy (RIP)

Paternal G'mother: Grandmomma (RIP)
Paternal Great G'mother: Grandma Sankie (RIP)
Paternal Grandfather died when my dad was 4, but we refer to him as Granddaddy Hayes

My mother is now Mam Mam to her grandkids (my neices and nephews). She really wanted to be called Big Momma, but considering she's about a size 8 it never stuck!!

My Paternal Grandfather and Grandmother died when I was young, so I didn't really have any cute nicknames for them.
