Product Description
You Can Call Me Hoppa! The Grandparents' Guide to Choosing a Name that Fits is a collection of grandparent names and stories designed to assist modern grandparents in finding the answer to the 'what to be called?' question. Think baby name book for Boomers! We hope that you enjoy perusing the pages of possibilities, whether you are a first-time grandparent, one who is relatively established or a step-grandparent. Most of us are given a name at birth and don't again get the opportunity to choose a name that truly represents who we are until we reach grandparenthood. The names and stories in this book include traditional titles, cultural appellations and names that are perfectly personal. But the most captivating collection of monikers is found in the Out of the Mouths of Babes section. The name that is right for you may not be contained within the pages of this book, but we hope that we can provide you with the inspiration you need to choose a name that fits!

 You can call me Hoppa! January 30, 2010
Pamela Meadows (Golden, CO)
My daughter told us she and her husband were expecting our first grandchild on Christmas Eve. So many of our friends and family have unique grandparent names which also helps the child distinguish between maternal and paternal grandparents. I was having difficulty trying to decide what I'd like to be called, at least until our grandchild is talking and starts to call me something that will stick, as so many do. I found it has some of the same information as articles you can find online about the same topic, but I'm glad I bought the book, regardless.
 a big price for a little book January 13, 2009
P. donaldson
When i recieved "You can call me Hoppa" I was shocked at the size of it. Not having any way to view the book itself I thought the 30 dollars I paid for the book including the shipping and handling was overpriced. The book itself is adorable and I would recommend it.
Cute but . . . December 18, 2008
Rock Mom (N. California)
In looking for a gift for my parents (soon to be grands!) I came across this book. It's cute but a little pricy for what's essentially a quick flip-through. I've heard there's another book coming out soon that has more names for about half the price so I'll hold off on purchasing until then. 8 months to go anyway!
 A unique and ideal source for alternative namings of grandparents November 14, 2008
Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
The baby-boom generation has impacted the American culture with every decade of their existence. Now that they are entering into the 'grandparenting phase' they seem to be as influential as ever. "You Can Call Me Hoppa!" by Lauren Charpio address the reluctance of a great many baby-boomer generation grandparents to be monikered with simply Grandpa and Grandma -- these being seen as relics of an older and more formal generation. For those seeking more individualized and 'boomer appropriate' handles by which to be called by the children of their children, "You Can Call Me Hoppa!" of alternatives drawn from additional sources than those offered by such traditional endearments as Grampy and Granny, Grandpapa and Nannie. Some of those sources are drawn from other languages and cultures ranging from the Arabic 'Sido' and 'Tae Tae, to the Cherokee 'Edudi' and 'Elisi', to Greek 'Pappous, to the Spanish 'Lito' and 'Lita". Other sources are baby-originated corruptions of grandparent names, slang names from our diverse subcultures, all laced throughout with fun and informative quotations throughout commenting on family oriented grandparent names. "You Can Call Me Hoppa!" is a unique and ideal source for alternative namings of grandparents -- as well as a fascinating overview of just how diverse such namings can be!
