Re: Poll: nicknames for relatives
1. What do/did you call your parents? (Mom, mommy, dad, daddy, etc.) Mom, Dad.
2. What do/did you call your grandparents? They had already died so I didn't call them.
3. Did you have any nicknames for any other relatives? (siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.) Sometimes I shortened my sister's name, and she mine, but no one outside of our house was allowed to do that. We called some relatives "aunt" or "uncle" when they were my mom's cousins. Usually, it's a first-name thing with us.
4. If you have kids, what do your children call you and your H? n/a
5.If you don't have kids and are planning to in the future (or your kids don't talk yet), do you know what you want your (future) kids to call you? Mom and Dad works fine for me. Mommy and daddy bother me very much for some reason.
1. What do/did you call your parents? (Mom, mommy, dad, daddy, etc.) Momma and Daddy. It feels too weird for me to just call them Mom and Dad.
2. What do/did you call your grandparents? I have a lot, all of my grandparents are divorced and most got remarried before I was born. Here's my list:
-Nana and Papa Tom
-Meme and Papa
-Grandma Kenny and Grandpa Kenny (my grandpa's first name is Kenny and we just always called my grandma "grandma Kenny", not sure how that started)
-And then there's my mom's dad. He wasn't very involved in my mom's life or ours, so I've just always called him "my mom's dad". When we do see him, we don't really address him by any name.
3. Did you have any nicknames for any other relatives? (siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.) I used to call my brother "Coco" (his name is Cody). All of my cousins call my dad Bobo (not sure how that started)
4. If you have kids, what do your children call you and your H? n/a
5.If you don't have kids and are planning to in the future (or your kids don't talk yet), do you know what you want your (future) kids to call you? I'm not sure.

1. What do/did you call your parents? (Mom, mommy, dad, daddy, etc.) Mom and Dad
2. What do/did you call your grandparents? Grandma ____, Pa pa ____
3. Did you have any nicknames for any other relatives? (siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.) We may shorten each other's names. Other than that just aunt ___ and uncle ____.
4. If you have kids, what do your children call you and your H? no kids yet
5.If you don't have kids and are planning to in the future (or your kids don't talk yet), do you know what you want your (future) kids to call you? Mom and dad is fine with me.
1. What do/did you call your parents? (Mom, mommy, dad, daddy, etc.) Mom/Mama and Daddy. I hardly ever call my own dad Dad.
2. What do/did you call your grandparents? Grandma and Grandpa. There are Hawaiian names for my grandparents on that side, but I'm so far removed from that...so I just call them Grandma and Grandpa.
3. Did you have any nicknames for any other relatives? (siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.) I call my sister Nani - it's part of her middle name - and my family, H and close friends call me Kalai. I NEVER hear my first name at home; I grew up going by my middle name.
4. If you have kids, what do your children call you and your H? Well, JJ [still] isn't talking, but he'll call us Mama and Daddy, I'm sure. I want our future kids to call us some variation of Mom and Dad - H and his sister call their mom by her first name, and I am NOT for that.
5.If you don't have kids and are planning to in the future (or your kids don't talk yet), do you know what you want your (future) kids to call you?
1. What do/did you call your parents? (Mom, mommy, dad, daddy, etc.) Mom, Dad
2. What do/did you call your grandparents? I didn't have grandfathers growing up (one is dead, the other is divorced from my grandma and didn't have a relationship with the kids). On my dad's side it's Grandma. On my mom's side it's Halmoni which is Korean for grandmother
3. Did you have any nicknames for any other relatives? (siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.) Nope
4. If you have kids, what do your children call you and your H? NA
5.If you don't have kids and are planning to in the future (or your kids don't talk yet), do you know what you want your (future) kids to call you? Mom and Dad. It always bothered me that my BILS called my ILs by their first name. Probably habit because they all work together, but I could never get used to it. DH called his parents Mom & Dad.
1. What do/did you call your parents? (Mom, mommy, dad, daddy, etc.) Mom and Dad.
2. What do/did you call your grandparents? I call both sets Grandma and Grandpa. So original
3. Did you have any nicknames for any other relatives? (siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.) I have an Uncle Bob and we call him UB (like in Uncle Buck).
4. If you have kids, what do your children call you and your H? N/A
5.If you don't have kids and are planning to in the future (or your kids don't talk yet), do you know what you want your (future) kids to call you? Mom and Dad.. I guess when they are little, Mommy and Daddy or Momma and Dada would be okay...
2. What do/did you call your grandparents? Bob and Grams/Nana and Papa (Bob is my biological gpa, it was just what everyone called him so I did too!)
3. Did you have any nicknames for any other relatives? (siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.) No, just their names.
4. If you have kids, what do your children call you and your H? Momma and Dada/Daddy
1. What do/did you call your parents? (Mom, mommy, dad, daddy, etc.) Mom and Dad
2. What do/did you call your grandparents? Grandma. Both grandmas were Grandma. they didn't get along so we never saw them together. My grandpas both passed when I was 3 so I don't know what I called them, but I assume Grandpa
3. Did you have any nicknames for any other relatives? (siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.) just first names with their title like Aunt Suzie, Uncle John
4. If you have kids, what do your children call you and your H? Mama and Daddy
5.If you don't have kids and are planning to in the future (or your kids don't talk yet), do you know what you want your (future) kids to call you?
1. What do/did you call your parents? (Mom, mommy, dad, daddy, etc.) Mom and Dad
2. What do/did you call your grandparents?Grandma and Boppa. My other grandma is called Doris because I met her when I was too old to start calling her "Grandma." My mom calls her Doris too.
3. Did you have any nicknames for any other relatives? (siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.) Nope.
4. If you have kids, what do your children call you and your H? N/A

3. Did you have any nicknames for any other relatives? (siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.) H & I call one of my aunts Love Muffin because that is what she calls everyone else. I also refer to one of my other aunts as my "Auntie" because it just suits her.

5.If you don't have kids and are planning to in the future (or your kids don't talk yet), do you know what you want your (future) kids to call you? I guess Mom/Mommy/Momma and Dad/Daddy/Dadda. Mother and Father seem to formal to me.
