For my wife, one was a Meme and one was Grana.

I said grandma. For whatever it's worth my grandpa name is Dude and the wife (no pics) is Daisy. The grand just started calling us that.

I called both of mine "grandma". My cousin tried calling our grandpa "Pee-paw". He said to never ever call him that

If I used either of those terms for either of my grandmothers, one of my parents would have corrected me very directly.

It was "Grandma (surname)"

If you had a Mawmaw, you had a Pawpaw

If you had a Meemaw, you had a Pappaw

I thought that was the law.

I had a granny who died when I was fairly young. We lost mawmaw a few years ago. I miss her a lot.
