    No, it's really not common at all. It's what I call my grandfather

    Thanks for the explanation James. Actually, I rather like it although I suppose it might be confused with "Greatgrandfather.

    Unfortunately, I was not privileged to have known either of my grandfathers - both died before I was born and I never got to hear anything about them from my parents or grandmothers.
