In the book, Eva is soothed when she snuggles between Binkle and Pops and reads stories with them. Binkle and Pops are Eva's paternal grandparents. Her maternal grandparents are GiGi and Rusty. Eva didn't name her grandparents. The grandparents chose their own names. How does a grandparent choose a name? Some ways a grandparent can choose a name are to PICK from what is popular, like GiGi or Gammy; BORROW from their parents' grandparents, like Pops or MeMaw; choose a TRADITIONAL name or even a NICKNAME, like Rusty or Fat Daddy; let the CHILD choose [ be careful here or you might end up with something really silly like Muggy or GaGa; be FORMAL, like Mimere or Sir; use a name from a NATIVE LANGUAGE, like Oma or Opa; choose something SILLY; or, just be CREATIVE, like Binkle or Pipe !
