i had the same problem when my daughter was born as my mum and dad who are french didnt like the typical Mamy (grandma) and Papy (grandpa) so maybe you will like them. As my husband is indian we call them: Nanyma( grandma) and Nanape(grandpa) i think its very sweet i love it!
Also we have Papily (grandpa) and Mamily (grandma)...
Now you can choose! Good luck and enjoy the joy of grand-motherhood!!!!

A list
There's:
oma (German)
bubbe (Yiddish)
babushka (Russian)
abuelita (Spanish)
obaasan (Japanese) [pronounced with a quick long o-bahah
{silent h}-sahn]
sobo (Japanese) [pronounced so-bo {quick long o on both syllables}]
I can find out more if you'd like (the Japanese pronunciations are kinda difficult to transcribe into romanji since inflection also plays a role in what the word means.)
