[quote=Anonymous]My in-laws were super into picking their grandparent names before the first grandkid was born. MIL picked a sweet "normal" name that rhymes with her actual name (like Fanny and Granny), but my FIL picked the cheesiest name possible. It's like he googled "cool alternatives to grandpa" and picked the one he thought would make him sound hippest. Spoiler, it really doesn't and all of my husband's siblings were hoping my strong willed DC would re-name him, but alas it seems to have stuck 6 years later. But TBH, it still sounds cheesy, but really is no big deal. I wouldn't worry about it and just let the excited grandparents have fun. And my DC picked the grandparent names for my parents and ended up giving my father a name that was unexpected, but is really special now that my father passed away. It's a reminder of the relationship they had, and hopefully any future grandkids on that side will keep it going (my sister would love that, not that we'd force it). [/quote]
