Re: Grandparents
+ Finnish and the dialects.
Not all of the names I've listed here are equally popular. Some are probably half-forgotten and some are only used in certain regions. Ämmä has gained a pejorative meaning in many places; muori is known especially as the wife/partner of Santa, but perhaps also used by some as 'grandmother'. Mummu, mummi and mummo have spread across Finland. Mumma, momma, isu are markedly Southern Ostrobothnian. Fammu and tummu are used in Western coast. Similarly, tuhva, tuffa are known in Satakunta (South West) - these are loans from Swedish storfar, sturmur and farmor. Paappa, paapa are Southern Ostrobothnia names. Pappa, ukki, vaari are used everywhere in Finland AFAIK. (Note that I've lived all my life in West Finland, so I don't know for sure what names are used in East or North.)
Kotus (which is the source I've used for this) also says that akka could've meant 'grandmother' at some point. In spoken language, it's usually pejorative word for '(old) woman' but I wouldn't be surprised if it had meant 'grandmother', since we have ukko for 'grandfather'. Also, North Sami áhkku is quite close to akka; even if the words weren't related, I could imagine people living in the same area where áhkku is/was used would call their grandmothers akka. (But that's just speculation!)
I haven't heard anyone using the words with vanha- or suur- prefixes, but my family has a system where grandparents are called mumma and paapa, and great-grandparents are vanhamumma and vanhapaapa.
