A grandchild that comes up with a name that just ends up sticking is different then grown folks insisting that their grandchildren call them something than what they already are.
My mother got her wish only because her first grandkid, my daughter, called her Mi-Mi since she was one year old. It just kind of stuck, fortunately enough for her;-) She did try to get her to call her something else though, but it didn't work out;-)

The grandson who calls my husband "Dude" calls me "BA" and for the life of us don't know where he came up with it.

That's the way I did it.

My wife insisted on being called 'Grandma' -- none of that flaky 'Nana' stuff for her. Her sister is 'Nana'.

My first granddaughter called me 'Poppy' one evening and I have worn it proudly ever since. I would have been just as happy with any other name she might have chosen for me.
