Congrats! Ours call my husband Bunka because when the first one was learning to talk I tried to teach her to call him Grumpa (he's a little grumpy). She couldn't say it, called him Bunka and it has stuck.
My daughter in laws parents are Papa & Mimi.

My kids call their Mexican grandpa, "Tito". It is an abbreviation of "abuelito". I hope their kids call me the same. I like the sound of it.

Edit: Oops, congratulations, by the way!!
