Momma. I don't like mommy and my husband refers to his mom as mother. I am -not- mother.

All the above. Usually it's Mom, but it's Mama or Mommy when he "needs" something, lol.

Mummy! Living in England and Australia have engrained mummy, not mommy, in my head and I prefer it so much more! Mommy sounds whiny, mummy sounds very sweet.

She called me "mamai" (mah-my - totally her own word, nothing we taught her) until very recently, and I thought it was just the sweetest thing ever. Now she's starting to say "mommy" more and more often - it makes me a little bit sad!

Momma. Though when she was little I used to say Mommy. But, now that's she talking it's Momma all the way. She's quite good at using this word (specifically when fighting a nap and standing in her crib saying "moooooommmmmaaaaaaa" and breaking my heart...lol).

I call myself Mama. I'm guessing LO will eventually call me "mum" since that's what I call my own mother.

I originally wanted to be called mommy, but since I had DD, I've been saying mama. Either or works, I just want her to start calling me by something. She points and says papa, but never mama
