I’m Pawpaw. Wanted to be called Big Poppa but my wife and daughter both said no. My wife is MiMi.
My kids call my father Pop cause that is what he had called his grandfather and that was what he wanted.
I called my grandfather Boss. He was trying to get my oldest cousin, his first grandchild, to call him Grand Pierre but it came out Boss and stuck. My other grandfather we called Grandpa Bill. Never really knew why.

Why? You need to be extra special? Stand out among the other grandpaws? How about Grandpawdynn, or Pawpaxdynn?

My paternal grandfather went by "Pop". I never liked the man. In short, he was a selfish arse.

Flash forward 38 years and I am now a grandfather. When I was asked what I should be called, I settled on "Pop". I decided it was up to me to make "Pop" great again.

Lol... Really... I am "Pop" to an amazing grandson.

Some of these will sound odd when the grandchild is older. You gotta remember that they sound stay a little kid for like 3 days.
