Moms side - grandma and grandpa
Dads side - Grammy. Dads dad died long before I was born. Early '50's .
I'm down to one. Grandma turns 95 in March.

My Maternal Grandparents were Papaw and Granny.
My Paternal Grandparents were Pa and Grandma.
Only my Pa is left. He is a veteran of Operation Torch in 1942, saw Kasserine pass more than he wanted, and came home when the war was over with 3 bronze stars.
I miss Papaw, Granny and Grandma every day.

Nana and Pop on my mom's side. Nana and Pop-pop on my dad's side. They are all gone now but I got to know them well.
Pop was born in 1906, Pop-pop in 1924, died a week apart back in '87. I was 18 at the time. One Nana died in '08, the other last year. I even got to know and do some fishing with my great-grandma Mary. Called her Granny.
Don't let the name fool Ya!

My dad's mom was Gramma. My other three grandparents were dead before I was born.

Mother's side - PapPap & MamMam
Father's side - Nanny
Dad's father was buried on my father's sixth birthday so I never knew him.

So just a casual look at where y'all are from indicates that Paw paw might be a southern thing. Mine were Paw paw on my Dad's side and Pap paw on my mother's.

Mother's side - Papaw (and Mamaw)
Father's side - Dan-Dan - Had an older cousin that when she was little couldn't quite get a grip on granddad (or maybe confused dad's dad?) so it came out Dan-Dan & stuck.
