I'm afraid that I'll miss out on important details with this guy

(Edit: I mean Barry)

I've always called my lola "wowa" since I was a child. As I grew, I thought that I was strange because my friends and neighbors didn't call their grandmothers "wowa" too. My parents used "lola" for their grandmothers, so I couldn't have gotten it from them..

I thought that I was the only person in this world who called her lola, "wowa", and I felt embarrassed.

Then, I saw a movie. An actress had called her on-screen grandmother "wowa"! It was the first time that I heard another person say it, so I was definitely shocked.

So my question is:

"Is "wowa" an actual title (from any region) or have I been using "wowa" because I mispronounced "lola" as a baby and I just went with the flow as I grew older?"
