Non grandad name please

Why not some shortened/ lengthened version of his own name? E..g Bill- Bill, Ob-Bob, Davie- Dave etc. Then it’s his own name but a bit more child friendly and in a version only they use.

I don’t see a problem with using his name, children these days don’t do the uncle auntie mr and Mrs thing, they jump straight in with first names. It’s very normal to them.
We have a similar situation with other grans boyfriend and she uses grandad in cards which confuses the children as they hardly see him. Nothing wrong with calling him Fred. ..even if that’s not his name

The DGD just called their other Granny's non-live-in partner by his first name, from when they were tiny.
They already had two Grandads.

My DGSs call their step Grandfather Obi. I think it's South African.

I had a grandad who wasn't really a grandad and I always called him "Da", which I think is Irish.

The initials of his first two names? Might work, depending!

My C only ever called my stepfather Grandad and we have 4 "sort of" GC who call us Nana/ Grandma and Grandad.
As soon as they question it is explained, but it has never made any difference and we are treated exactly the same as we have always been.
I actually feel very flattered and very lucky.

My DGS call their other grandmother's husband Baba!,

Could he be Uncle ?Personally I would not like that..The two little girls who live next door to us have only ever called us by our first names and we are very happy with that.

Opa, Flemish for Grandad.

Well he’s not his grandad and doesn’t sound as if he plays a big part so a nickname would be best or whatever you call him kids often find their own nick names
I never called my own darling granddad, granddad his name was Horace and from the minute I could talk I called him Hossie and that’s what he stayed till the day he died when I was 16

In this day and age many children have more than one grandfather. Sadly some have only one or none. I say the more the merrier. A child can never have too many loving grandparents. I think kittylesters Pa sounds nice?

What would he like to be called? Perhaps he can choose? Or have a think together, it doesn’t have to be traditional.

GRAMPS? Grampy? Sorry about the capital letters but my tablet kept changing the word to tramps!

My husband is called Pa!

Why not just "Granny's Friend Tom"(or whatever his name is)

Just make up a nice nickname.
