my mom might not go for that one

I suggested a cute name like "old timer" but she wasn't very fond of that idea

Maybe she will like 'Mom - The Sequel'

I'm Italian, I have a Nona and a Papa.

what about Gramma + whatever her name is (like Gramma Marilyn)

My cousins call their other grandmother "Grams". I kinda like that.

Since I have a baby on the way, my mom's going to be a grandma for the very first time and as part of her excitement, she started coming up with what she wants to be called.

I already call my grandmother "Nana" so that's sorta taken, and my gf's family is french so her mom will definitely be "ma mere"... do you have a special name for your grandmother?

Why 'ma mere'? That means 'my mother'.

I had a Grandma and a Nana growing up so there was no confusion about who was who. My sister's little guy calls his other grandma 'Noma'.

Whatever you decide to call them, the children sometimes make up their own anyway. My kids call my mom 'ChaCha Gramma' (my mom used to have a dog named ChaCha) and my hubby's mom is 'Jeffy Gramma' (hubby's little brother is Jeff)

My kids call one grandmother "grammy" and the other one "ita" which is a spanish nickname for grandmother (apparently)

Got me, the french are weird. My gf even calls herself "ma tant" when talking to her neice... and I'd be like "uhm.. why do you call yourself that?" since "ma" is "my"... so it makes no sense for her to refer to herself as "my aunt" but that's just what they do.

My daughter calls my mom Nonnie. She calls her other one maw-maw. (I always hated the sound of that). My step-daughter calls hers Grandmommy. It seems kinda weird sounding, but it is cute when the kids say it.

Nanny for my mom's mom -- Gramma for my wife's mom -- and Meemaw for my wife's grandmother. That's what the kids call them all. Papa is the universal name for all the males however lol.

My grandmother was Mema. (Mee mah)

She will have been gone 8 years in July. I miss her terribly. But Mema is easy for little ones to pronounce and is so cute to hear a child say.
