Pop Pop is a northeastern name for a grandfather. I had never heard it in my life (or Mom Mom) until we lived in PA. I even have a neighbor from PA who is “Mom Mom” and I smile when I think about how it is so commonplace in that area and not at all known down here. We usually hear names like: Nana, Grammy, Meemaw (which I don’t care for), or Grandma. My Mother is Nana, and her husband is Papa. My husband’s mother is Grandma Mary. His dad and step mother are burning in hell so we don’t call them anything. ;^)
LOL! we called my grandmother’s grandma. xsteen’s bf, who is from Newtown PA, so eastern PA, calls his grandparents Nana and PupPup. we laughed at first but now that we have me them, the names fit.
I don’t think I ever heard “Meemaw” until Sheldon Cooper came along.
My MIL is now GG for GreatGrandma. I didn’t get it, so they had to explain it to me. LOL
