How about "Gran'ther"? Pawpaw and Nana are cute when their kids, but after the age of 15, it sounds a bit silly, but you're stuck with it, cause they've been calling you that forever. If you're still above ground when they're 30, well, "Pawpaw" sounds idiotic coming for the mouth of an adult. "Gran'ther" I can live with at any age, and it's not as common as it once was, so it would be kinda different, which I think is a description that fits our brother Scooter... 
Mine were "Grammaw and Grampaw", which is also appropriate to any age...

Why is it that bad decisions seem to make to most interesting testimonies?

Some of the older guys at his last pastorate got that for him. They
had so much fun with that rat.

let the child decide, would be my choice. they will come up with something depending on what others call him.
personal familial example. My daughter and son in law have kids. there are 3 set's of granparents:
His parents are mimi (Tammy) and pahpah
her mother and husband are nahnah and grampa gray
her father (me) and wife are grandbo and grammah (usually followed by her first name of one variation or another)
these are the names the grandchildren (for the most part) picked. I am sure their folks had to coach them a bit, but essentially - the chose by recognition as they began to comprehend.
Then we have heard from Addie (AdahLisa, daughter of MyLisa, daughter of Lisa), something about that she is blessed cause she has 3 sets of grandparents and that we are all friends and go to the same church.
I pray that you get lots of face time with them. i know that I am blessed to have my daughter and kids come over every Friday for our "date night", and we get to be with the grandkids at least a couple times a week from that and church.
Children are a blessing, grandchildren are a "grander" blessing.

Yes, those names are the cutest and most precious!
We always called our grands Grandpa and Grandma, but there were kid variations that formed...
My Grandma was called "Grandma GREAT" by our kids which is something they picked up as they were little that she really liked..
My Dad was called "Bapaw" by my kids and my nieces... just coincidentally they all gravitated to that name. Now, they call him Grandpa, but Bapaw brings back memories...
Once at McDonalds, my niece saw a kindly older gentleman with a child, and she exclaimed, "DAT's a BAPAW!" to my dad, which was very sweet.
..I press on to take hold of that

My sister in law has 2 grandchildren who call her "Grandy", which was their inability as toddlers to say "Grandest", which was her self-given title. She has a flair for that, and it's hilarious. My daughter also stays with her each day (in the afternoons, with the 2 grandkids), and she calls her "Nay-nay", which was her own inability to say "Aunt Ann". Now, at daycare, where my daughter and the grandson go together, the teachers all call my sister in law Naynay, even in referring to her as the little boy's grandmother.

Call me a traditionalist... I just love "grandpa"
That's how I referred to both of mine
Grandpa McNabb & Grandpa Cunningham.
My kids call my dad "Grandpa". Their other one is Russian, so they get away with "Dedushka." (Otherwise it would be Grandpa Kochurin).
I'm just old-fashioned, I guess.
