Nana and Grandad for my dad's mum and dad. Didn't have any on my mums side.

[ferlew]

Mamya, my remark was to Elvis, not you :)

[daffy654]

I never knew any of my grandparents so never referred to them by any name apart from mum's mum/dad or dad's mum/dad.

[ferlew]

Guess I must be fortunate, I recall those, plus my great gran and grandad, they were fabulous.

[kawakiri]

Maternal grandparents were called Muv and Arder.

[ferlew]

Awww, lovely.
