My beloved 'Grands' call me Oma. It's the German equivalent of Grandmother. It's easy for the little ones to say, and the older ones think it's cool. In fact, the oldest one says her other Grandmother, who is called Nana, wants her to call her Oma! Of course, she could be saying that just to flatter me...
One thing that really melts my heart is when one of the 'grands' gets excited about something and just has to have my immediate attention, and calls to me, "Oma! Oma! Oma!"
My husband elected to be called 'Pop-Pop'. Every now and then one of the kids thinks it's funny to call him "Double-Pop".
