I call mine Mama, but since I don't have children or step-children, I'm Aunt Deb to all our nieces and nephews, and to their children also. My sister and I favor so much that her grandchildren sometimes call me "Grandmommy" by mistake. I don't mind (and I don't ask her if she does).

My daughter calls me Mum, my son calls me Boots it's a play on my maiden name. My grandchildren call me Granny except for the 2 year old who calls me Ninnie, I've noticed the older one starting to use it too so I may end up Ninnie.

I call my mother, "Mom". My 3 kids called me Mommy when they were little. Now adults, they call me, "Mom".

I called my Mother, Mother don't remember ever calling her anything else. My brother always called her mama. My two call me Mom. I had to laugh when I read Sleepy Hollow's thread, about the phone call. When our son calls and leaves a message, he always says "it's me" - he lives 500 miles away, so we don't get to see him often. When our daughter calls she usually says in a cute way "this is your daugh--ter" and some times says "Mom this and her name or hey Mom it's me". Both are single, so no grand children. I never really thought much about it until this thread began.

I was told that, when I was very little, I called my mother "Mimmy". While I outgrew it, it stuck with my dad and it was his favorite name for her until he passed away at the age of 85.
