I recently remarried and my daughter had a child. The problem is she wants her to call him by his given name since "grandpa" was kind of reserved for her father. Pop or poppy is out. I would like my husband to have a special name other than his first name. Please help.

Whats wrong with Pop? i dont see why that cant be used. If your daughter is the one who said no to it, then Im guessing she simply doesnt want to acknowledge your husband in that way.

What heritage are you? I think it's cute when you call your family members by what language or nationality...I call my grandpa Ukki which is Finnish for Gpa~ My friend is hispanic and calls her mom Madre- my friends husband is spanish and calls his wife Mija....Just a suggestion!

My dad is known as PaPa, and sometimes just as Pa.
On my husbands side, we just say "Grandpa Jack" and "Grandpa Steve".
Hope that helps.

I drop the d. I call my grandparents, "grampa and gramma" You could try gram. That would be nice and way cool. It sounds sophisticated too. Then again....it is used for grandma too. Maybe a bit feminine.
Grampa is good.....
