What will your LO be calling you? Do you already know what you'll go by for sure, or will you wait and see which name they prefer?
What do you/did you call your mother?

Ds calls me Mama and I like that. I'm sure once he's older he may change to Mom but I would prefer Mama.
I call my Mom, "Mom".

Mama or Mommy for a good long while, hopefully. My daughter called me Monnee for the longest time and I loved it, I was so sad when she finally started saying the middle "m" sound instead of an "n".

Mama primarily. Madison only uses Mom when she is irritated and trying to get my attention.

My kids use all three names for me, depending on their moods. I would say though, that my oldest uses mom most often, while my second prefers mama, and my son prefers mommy. The toddler calls me mama or "maaa!!" the older three also call me mother on occasion, when they think I'm being ridiculous. Telling them I want to eat them for dinner always earns me an, "oh, Mother!" and a giggle.
I usually call mine mom, with an occasional mama when I'm super stressed.

Mommy or Mom is usually what the kiddos call me so Im sure the LO will follow suit.
I call my mom a lot of things now that Im older. Momzers, mamarita, mother, mostly all for just joking around. And I love to do the Stewie bit from Family Guy to annoy her sometimes...you know the "Mom Mom Mom Mommmy Mommy Mommy Ma Ma Ma" until she says what and then you say "Hi" lol But as a kid mom or mommy was just about it.
