My grandparents were Nana and Papa, and I know that's what my parents will want to be called.  FMIL will want to be Bestemor (father's mother, in Norwegian); FI's grandmother on his mother's side was Mormor.  FI's grandparents on his dad's side were Nonnie and Pop...I kind of hope FFIL doesn't want to be Pop, but he can pick what he wants and I will follow his lead.

I think this is something that the grandparents decide... you might be stuck with Dada!

We don't have kids, but my FH calls his grandfather "pup-pup" (but writes it Popp-Popp), and his grandmother "mum-mum" but writes it (Momm-Momm).  I'd never heard "pup-pup" before.  His maternal grandmother is "Nana."

I didn't know my maternal grandfather, the paternal was "grandpap."  My grandmothers were "Go-Go" and "grandma."

I dunno, I've always seen that the grandparents decide.  But if you really don't like it, you could probably convince him to go by something else :)

My parents will be grandma and grandpa and his parents will be bubbie and zadie (his side is jewish and that is yiddish for grandma and grandpa). I call my grandparents Grandma and Grandpa and the other set Nana and Papa. It is what they wanted and it sure helps keeping them straight when talking about them! I called my great grandmother Grandmama. I guess the more grand you are the more ma's you get! lol

We're expecting twins right now but there are grandchildren on my side.  When my nephew was born my mom insisted on being called 'Nonna' - the Italian term for grandmother and we all called my dad 'Grandad' which is very common in Ireland.  As soon as my nephew could speak he called my mother Nonna, much to her delight, and started calling my father Poppa - totally out of the blue.  Poppa has stuck for the other two.

My maternal grandparents were MeeMaw (which I believe originated as Grandma and my eldest cousin changed that when she started talking) and PawPaw (same deal as MeeMaw.)

My in-laws are going to become grandparents when we have our children and my FIL has said he'd like to be 'Grandad' and my MIL wants to be called by her first name (which I think is odd!)  She's not the first woman I've heard of who doesn't want a 'grandmother' name because she thinks it makes her sound old.  If I were going to be a grandmother I'd be ALL OVER IT!  I think of it as something to be excited about and proud of.  My BILs are funny - they were teasing their mom when she said she wanted to be called by her first name - like when the children get bigger they'll go visit 'Grandad' and his special friend 'Lola' (her name's not lola)  ;0)  One BIL joked that my children will wonder where their grandmother lives and why Grandad lives with that other lady. 

One thing I've learned is that you can come up with names for grandparents but once the children start talking, all bets are off!

My parents will be Memere and Pepere (french) and his parents will be Nana and Opa (dutch) since our niece already calls them that. They chose their names though, my parents won't have a choice lol.

All my grandparens died before I was born.  If we have kids I want them to call my mom NanaBea; her first name is Beatrice and I think it would just sound do cute.  NANABEE, lol

My mom has already said she wants to be called "Grammy". My aunt's grandkids call her this and it's just sort of stuck through our family. I'm not so sure about my dad, but definitely not "grandpa", that's what we call his dad.
