My grandmothers were both called Grandma (last name). Both of my grandfathers passed away before I was born.
When one daughter got married, her husband called my father "gramps". I thought my dad would hate it, but he actually liked it. Sure surprised me. I would have called him "grumps" lol SIL grew up without any grandparents at all, so he was thrilled to have a gramps. Dad and he had a lot in common. He just called my mother by her nickname.
