I called one side Oma and Opa and my other grandmother was Grandma (grandfather on that side died before I was born). DH called one Grammy (grandfather was dead) and the other side Grammy first name and Pop-pop.
Our kids call my parents Oma and Opa and DH's parents Ya-ya and Pop. My Mil picked Yaya because she didn't want to be called anything too grandmotherly sounding. Yaya is Greek-but no one in their family is Greek.

Is your child the first grandchild OP? Usually the first grandchild sets the names. That is great news if your child is the first

All of my grandparents were deceased by the time I was born. My parents referred to them by name when sharing stories.
My children refer to their grandparents (only one side, and they have both passed on as well) as MawMaw and PawPaw.

Mom's side is Nana and Pop-Pop
Dad's side is Grandma and Grandad.
We did the same when I was a kid -- Nana was mom's mom and Grandma was dad's mom. I didn't have grandfathers since both died long before I was born.

my siblings, cousins, and I call one set of grandparents: "M" (for 'Mom') and "D" (for 'Dad') because that's what our parents always called them
the other set of grandparents is Swedish and we call them the Swedish farfar (father's father) and farmar (father's mother)

I called mine:
Memaw
Granddaddy
(Southern)
DH called his:
Grandma
Poppa
our baby is only 6 months so we are not there yet but the subject of my parents' and my in-laws' grandparent names recently came up and so I was just curious what everyone else calls their grandparents or what your kids call their grandparents?
