Did you really think "they just call them grandma/pa" was a good argument against people not knowing their grandparents' names? What do you think people in other parts of the world call their grandparents?

I spent 30 years being wrong about my grandmom's given name, because my granddad called her by other name than the official one[0], and in all those decades there was hardly an opportunity for me to notice or for someone to correct me. Grandma was always "grandma".
