From The Real Housewives of Atlanta OG Nene Leakes being referred to as “Glamma” to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills newcomer Garcelle Beauvais telling The Daily Dish podcast she prefers to go simply by “Grandma,” it’s clear that each Bravolebrity with grandchildren has her own unique, special name her grandchildren call her by. However, based on some hilarious information Vicki Gunvalson’s son-in-law Ryan Culberson just shared with the world, it seems like The Real Housewives of Orange County grandmother has a moniker that’s truly one-of-a-kind. 

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Orange County on Thursdays at 9/8c and next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo App.

Ryan shared an adorable video of his sons, Owen and Troy, to his Instagram Story on May 5, in which the boys revealed the silly name they have for Vicki. “Nana’s name is Vicki Gumball Machine!” the boys said in unison. Ryan captioned the clip, “Out of the mouth of babes,” noting that “they were saying this before I started recording so I had to document,” so it seems like they truly came up with this hilarious name on their own. 

For what it’s worth, it sounds like Owen and Troy typically call Vicki “Nana,” but you have to admit that the lighthearted nickname they’ve given her is pretty great, too.

In addition to cracking jokes for Ryan’s Instagram followers, it seems like the Culberson boys have had an eventful couple of weeks. They’ve been getting excited about welcoming their new sibling to the family, and even got some haircuts that gave them entirely new looks. In an April 19 post, Ryan revealed that he gave Owen and Troy a matching set of mohawk hairdos
