Becoming a grandpa is a big deal. Now you get to repurpose your dad jokes into grandad jokes that are sure to entertain the grandkids. And equally thrilling is picking what name you would like to be called! Whether you decide to stick with a traditional grandfather nickname or try a hippie grandpa name, fingers crossed the grands can pronounce it correctly or you could end up with something unexpected! “My son was the first grandchild for my parents. We all just assumed the grandkids would call my dad ‘grandad,’ but my son couldn't pronounce ‘grand’ correctly. Twenty-four years later, he’s still called Go-dad,” says Chatbooks co-founder Vanessa.
