What I want to know is who is the one that actually has the authority to determine if someone is going to be a grandma or grandpa or if they're going to be a mee-maw or pee-pop.

all of the gen x grandparents I am starting to see are so terrified of being called "grandpa" because that means a slow driver and they insist on being called poo poo like Big P. you're not the older kid who lives up the block. you're a senior citizen.

Poohs Packin posted:Old Daddy seems really cumbersome, hilarious, and probably even more old sounding than "Grandpa". Was your Old Daddy seeking to style himself after a Blaxploitation style pimp? Did he choose Old Daddy or was it something your child brain came up with? Apparently he didn't want to called grandpa so i solved the problem when i first visited them. I was two and asked "Where's that Old Daddy?" After he had gone to the store and i couldn't find him. it stuck and for some reason my family went along with it, almost no one in the family is known by their real name. I gave the most names but other family contributed, like my aunt "Lucy" short for lucifer, my uncle coined it after she became born again Christian. My grandfather was either greatest or silent generation though, my parents are the boomers.

Saalkin posted:My grand parents on my dads side were Opa and Oma because Dutch. That sucks, sorry to hear that happened to you. Sounds like they wanted to make sure you knew who they were in your life when they were worried about being left out of it. My mother in law is having my nieces and nephews call her Mee-Maw, or Mimi; but my Dad is like "just call me grandpa." I'd like to think that the title of Grandpa is earned by not dying before then.

Tristesse posted:My mom was the oldest of 5 and all her siblings had at least 2 kids so my generation has a ton of grandkids. I also have this one Aunt who for the last 30 years has been trying to get everyone in the family to call my grandparents her specific nickname for them. The problem was she tried to get all us grandkids to go with it while we were all largely too old to buy into "Mimi and Poppers" so to this day everyone but her own kids just pretend we don't know who she's talking about. The best part is my grandparents also loving hate these nicknames so they will gladly go along with it. This once culminated in my grandpa shouting at my Aunt "WAIT, WHO THE gently caress IS POPPERS AGAIN WHY CAN'T I BE MIMI?" Lol this is the sort of wild bullshit im talking about.

My niece, now 11, started calling her grandparents Manja ("Mahn-yah") and Baka ("Bah-kah") for literally no reason whatsoever. The names stuck, and now we all refer to them as those names. Edit: vvvv I know you're likely not referring to my post, but just so we're clear, I actually love the weird made up names for them. Super unique.

I call my grandmother on my mom’s side “Mamie” (pronounced “MAY-mee”). Both she and my mom are from Alabama. poo poo like this is common as hell in the south. My dad INSISTS that I call his parents “Grandfather [lastname]” and “Grandmother [lastname]” every single time and gets real mad if I call them anything, y’know, normal, like “grandpa/grandma”. His siblings are the same way — all 17 of them. It’s weird. That whole side of the family has some sort of creepy parental cult worship thing going on and it bugs the poo poo out of me, partly because that grandfather was a huge rear end in a top hat and I wish I had told him so to his face before he died.

Just "Grandma" and "Grandpa" Lastname. Great-Grandma was Grandma Firstname. My grandpa had a younger brother we were close to who we called "Grandpa Junior" because he looked like a younger version of our grandpa.

Gotta see both sets of grandparents. This week it's Rocking Chair and the Turkey Hearse, then next week it's Cotton Choppers and Ol' Bucketmouth. Hopefully none of them will wanna drain the dragon at Pickle Park.

Knormal posted:They should be stackable. Your Mom's parents should be Mom Mom and Mom Dad. Your Dad's should be Dad Mom and Dad Dad. Your Mom Dad's parents should be Mom Dad Mom and Mom Dad Dad. It makes the genealogy nice and clear, and avoids all those annoying multiple grandma and grandpas you end up with otherwise. Its how chinese works, you have distinct words for relatives depending on which of your parents they are related to.

ETA: a friend of mine's kid called his grandpa papa shango after the wrestler for some reason, but he hosed off somewhere and is now out of everyone's life.

I only ever use formal names for my family, as valued as they are. Hello, grandmother, lovely day. Yes father, I shall do that at once. Mother, I follow your advice fully. We are a family. Come join the family.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:The names stuck, and now we all refer to them as those names. My girlfriends family have weird names for the grandparents and everyone uses them, or call relatives Aunt Sue or Uncle Dave or whatever, like no name can go without a title. Doesn’t matter if that’s their relation to you, that’s their name. I can’t do it. I guess my family was weird but we just used our names except for my sister and I calling our mom and dad Mom and Dad. My dad didn’t call my mom “Mom” or “Mommy”, I didn’t call my uncle “Uncle Joe”. Wtf why does everyone need weird family aliases? I know how we’re related, do I really need to announce it every time?

I had Nana and Grampy on my father's side, and that feels like a mismatched set of names. All the names sound pretty much like baby gibberish so can't really fault people making up new ones.
