I call my paternal grandparents Grandpa and Grandma, and my maternal ones were Grampa and Nana - nana was pronounced the Spanish way. My paternal grandmother is called MayMee by my youngest cousins - one of them started it and the rest of them liked it. One of my great grandmother's we called GG as an abbreviation of Great Grandmother. We didn't realize it was an abbreviation for a while so we would sometimes call her Great Grandma Gigi. :P

My mother's maternal grandparents were Abuela and she never knew her Abuelo. Paternally they were Nanny and I think Pappy, I'm 100% certain about Nanny.

---

I don't think my dad used anything other than Grandpa and Grandma.

---

I know someone who called either their father or grandfather Pop or PopPop. I've never in person met someone call their grandfather Poppy, I feel like it is very old fashioned.

---

I've had a couple of friend's of German ancestry call their grandparents Oma and Opa. I wonder if either of my paternal great mother's called their grandparents Oma and Opa.
