Not much help stamp-wise, but my kids call my grandmother 'donut lady.' They don't live nearby, but my grandmother used to make homemade donuts and mail them to my son when he was little.
We have a Nana, a Grandmommy, and a Granddaddy. My sister never really could say Grandmommy and she calls her Grammy. I don't know what my parents want to be called when our baby is born. I think my mom wants to be Grandma, but I have no idea about my dad. Oh, and we call my great-grandmother MawMaw.

My aunt and uncle are "Honey" and "Buddy" to their grandchildren.

I have to say I am SO envious of those of you with many grandparents.
I only had one set and they were Grandma and Grandpa. We weren't very close.
My parents are the only grandparents for my children and they are Nana and Poppy. Luckily they have a very strong relationship with my children. I feel very blessed to have them in my life and the lives of my boys!
Personally I liked when Goldy Hawn said that she wanted her grandson to call her "glam-ma" it may not be popular, but I thought it was really classy (and appropriate if your grandmother is goldie hawn - LOL!)
My parents are dutch so they are Opa and Oma. My children used to call our old (as in former, not in age, although that would fit too...) neighbours NiNi (say knee-knee) and Nana. That is what their grandchildren called them.
Oh - my DH's grandmother was Grammie so that's what she was to all the great-grandchildren too and I don't think that name will be used by either my folks or my DH's folks. There was only one Grammie. She was a very sweet and adorable little old lady that you'd better not cross.
My oldest granddaughter got her syllables mixed up a lot when she was learning to talk (Pespi, pasghetti, mazagine...), so she called me Mawgaw and that's what all my grandkids (and their friends) call me now. So, we are Mawgaw and Papaw. I'm just wondering if my grandsons will want to call me that when they're teenagers! LOL

My boys call my parents Grandma and Granddaddy. They call my husband's parents Grandma and Grandpa. However, my inlaws have signed the boy's birthday cards seemingly with whatever name/spelling popped into their heads at the moment :rolleyes:: Gram, Gramma, Granma, Grandma, Granpa, Granpap, Grandpa, Grandpap, etc.

Sounds like my grammie! We used to send letters addressed to Grammie Wheeler, Hardwick, Vt, and she'd get them with no trouble (all the way through 1993 or so).
My son started calling my mother "Nama" when he was very little and it has stuck! My other son calls her that, too. I think it was his attempt at "Grandma". Plus my MIL is "Nana", so maybe we was combining the two!

My grandmother was Granny. She died in 1990, and I was very upset the next year when my cousin had a baby and her mother (my aunt and Granny's daughter) had her call HER Granny. It made me sad.
I am Grammie and my hubby is Grandpa. In our family we have or have had Nana and Papa, Mawmaw and Pawpaw, Nannie and Papa, Nanny and PopPop Gink, Mama Davis, and Grandma and Grandpa. I would love to see a Grammie and Grandpa stamp set!
My kids have a Grandma (for both kids) and Grandpa (for my son) PaPa (for my daughter) and on the other side of the family it's Nonnie and Poppy and their great grandmother is Bam Bam (my DH named her as a child and it stuck, we all call her that)
Us kids call our grandparents gramma and grandpa. Actually it's Gramma Mary. My husband calls his grandparents Noni and Pa. My nieces and nephews call my parents Grammie and Papa.
