I know Grandpa might be the most familiar and popular name for grandfathers, but that does not mean it has to be the one my family uses.
If Grandpa does not feel like the perfect fit, I have plenty of other warm, meaningful options to consider, from Abuelo to the sweet, unexpected name my baby may come up with all on their own.
