How do kids address or refer to their great-grandparents, if they are still alive? (equivalent to "dad", "mom", "grandpa", "grandma") "Great-grandpa" sounds rather lame.

Best Answer
Here in Pakistan, there are specific words that kids use to call the great grand parents.
However, as of what I know, there's no specific word in English which can be used for great grandparents.
It varies according to the culture and to the family. In some families, you would notice kids calling both their great grandparents and grandparents by one single name, that is "Grandpa" and "Grandma". In some, I have seen kids using specific words for their great grandparents like "Grandma Norma", any cute and simple word is used..
