They're all gone now
My maternal granparents, Mamaw and Papaw
My paternal grandparents, by their first names. I don't remember how that even started, and nobody else does either. They were very formal people, and it was uncharacteristic, but I did.
As for my parents, the grandchildren call my dad by his first name. My mom didn't want to have a nickname, she requested that they call her Grandmother. Kids will come up with their own ideas, so we didn't think it would stick, but it has.

I think Paw Paw, Maw Maw is a NOLA area thing. Or is it a -all of Louisiana-, thing? Does yankee La. call them, Paw Paw, Maw Maw?
Baton Rouge?

Not a NOLA thing. Definitely all across Cajun country. My parents were MawMaw and PawPaw. I can't speak for North LA.
