Well, we already have three kiddos and I have a sister who's pregnant with her second, and hubby's sister has two, so our parents and grandparents all already have established names.

Hubby's mom is Granny.
hubby's step-dad is Grandpa Mike.

My mom is Grandmommy because when my oldest was born my mom was not only young, but still playing Mommy to her other kids. My siblings were 13, 10, and 2 when my oldest was born! Yes, I have a brother only 2 years older than my son!

My dad is Grandpa, which is totally contradictory to everything I said above, but... I guess we were done being creative.

All four of my grandparents are still alive.
Dad's parents are Grandma and Pops.
Mom's parents are Grandmother and Grandfather.


And I have a great-grandpa still alive, so that's great-great grandpa to my kids. I call him JP... because it should have been GP for grandpa but I was little and messed it up. He's 94 and lives in Clovis, NM.

All of the grandparents will be Grandma or Grandpa except my stepfather -- he's been christened "Pappy" by the other grandchildren and so we'll go with that.

When my niece was first born, we wanted to call my mom "Gramma-rama". She HATED that name! We thought it was super cute. Hmmmmmm.....maybe we'll try it again!

Both my mom and MIL are Grandma, so when we talk about them together, it's Grandma and Grandma J (since my mom's initials are J. J.)

My dad is Opa (German)
FIL is Grandpa.

DH's grandmother is Great Grandma.

My parents are grandma and grandpa. MIL is also grandma because that's what Tenli calls her, although she was going to be grammy.

My mom is Nana and my dad is Bapu.

Nana is self-explanatory, but Bapu is a mispronounciation by my nephew (now 13)who only spoke Greek for the first few years of his life because his babysitter was Greek. Papou is the name for Grandpa in Greek but he couldn't say it correctly and it came out Bapu...and has remained so ever since!

My Dad isn't in the picture so he is veto-ed.
My Mum will be known as Granny (My niece Ava cannot pronounce the R so she is "GANNY" for the time being )

OH's Mum will be Gran (I think, As she thinks she is still to young for granny, she will probably pick something different )
I am unsure about OHs Dad and Stepdad (I say stepdad for the sake of clarity as they aren't actually married)

My Granny seems to be called GrannyB My grandpa has passed. I have no idea about OH's Grandparents.

Hubby's parents will be Abuelo and Abuela!

My dad will be called Grandpa. He doesn't want to be called pawpaw, papo, or whatever southern names for grandpa are...LOL

My step mom wants to be meme (I'm french) so I have no idea yet, cause my dad doesn't want to be called pepe.
