I'm teaching Charlie to call me "Mama".
I like it better than "Mommy" for some reason, it sounds warmer to me.
It's more caveman.
More Elvis.
Sometimes I slip, because "Mommy" is what I grew up on, and it's hard to change these types of things mid-stream. She has an easier time saying "mama" anyway. It's such a perfect sounding word, coming out of her mouth, even when she is insistently, impatiently, screeching: 'Ma-maaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!! Ma-maaaaaaaaaa!" it always gets my response.
I'm curious, what do you like to be called and why?

i tried to get my kids to call me "mama". i think my son did for a while, but now he's too grown up to use anything but "mom". (at the ripe old age of 7. sheesh.) my daughter copies everything he says and does... so 50 million times a day, i hear a little voice yelling "MOM." "MOM." "MOM." i think "mama" sounds more southern hospitality, where as "mommy" seems to be a northern thing...
How come Mamuncia is not an option?!!
Queen of the house! ;-)
No explanation needed.
I have kids in all age ranges now, so I am Mom to the teens, Mommy to the 4yo and Mama to Ru (10m). I LOVE every single one of my names....don't have a preference at all!! :)
It will most likely turn to Mom.
You will respond to it no matter whose kid yells it in the store, across the playing field or across the auditorium.
i like mama too. she does call me that from time to time - or emmay or geegee or joojee?? cute, all of them.
