Grandma and Grandpa are out.
A recent survey by Preply found that the traditional names of Grandma and Grandpa have been replaced, with some names are used more often than others.
Many of these names have two syllables with a repeating sound, echoing classic baby first words “mama” and “dada.”
The survey results show that the most common alternative names for grandmothers in the U.S. are:
- Gigi
- Nana
- Mimi
- Gran
- Bibi
- Momo
For grandfathers, the most-used alternative names are:
- Poppy
- Pops
- Papi
- G-Pa
- Grandude
- Papa
