What is a good name for a new grandfather?

My son and his wife are expecting our first granchild due next March (Yay!). i would like some suggestions for what the child will call my wife and me. I don't really like "Grandfather" -- too formal. What do your grandchildren call you, or what do you call your grandparents, or what are some suggestions you might have?

    My daughter called my dad Poppy. We have no idea where it came from. She just blurted it out and it has stuck ever since. That is what my dad is known by now. I think it is cute. I think your granchild will come up with something great for you. Congrats!
