Some topics never die!

ist2_2897117_scribbles_grandparents.jpgI got a few more suggestions for names of grandparents.

Marie Elena suggested Gram and Pop.
Mary reminded me of Omah and Opah... I shouldn't have forgotten that one, my nephew has an "Oma" and an "Opa"! Their family has a very German heritage, so that's no surprise, I guess.

Adriane also reminded me of Mimi, and they also had a Poppop... She also hinted at a fun story about my husabnd. In their family, they had a special name for her and my husband's paternal grandmother. If I get the story right... Hubby had a hard time with "Grammy" so he turned it into "Bambi." That one translated down the line; until her death last year, even her great-grandkids called her Bambi.

Am I missing any others?

You've got the Bambi story right - but since it wasn't mentioned, I'm guessing he never told you about our other Grandma (Helen)...He really botched THAT one! I'll let him tell you.

Aren't Omah and Opah Dutch names for grandparents? I mean like Netherlands Dutch, not Pennsylvania "Dutch" German.
