We call our dad "Baba jani" and my mum "Mamma" ...well it used to be Ma ma ...but then somehow it evolved into Mamma...hehe
My dadi dada lived in Saudia for a year or 2 and that's what most kids call their dad there.... Baba or babajani...so my dadi loved it so much that when I was born as the first kid ever in the family...that's what I was asked to call my dad...and then later on...all the kids in the family...like my chachoo's children n all...call them Baba as well...
I know I should come up with something new...but I think Baba sounds so cute that I would want my kids to call thier dad by that...:D

Do you realize that a child calling a parent “ami, mom, mommy, mummy” is a social construct? ? ?
If a child uses a parent’s name, I don’t see how that implies disrespect unless the perception is present that using a parents name is disrespectful.
When we have kids, inshaAllah, they can call us by our names. I don’t find that disrespectful, neither does Matt.
We don’t really care what the rest of society thinks so it works out quite well. . .b/c in our household, using names is not disrespectful.
You contradict yourself, a parent’s name can also be said with tons of love
i dont want them to be like goraas with no respect for their parents and calling them by their first names ..
I dont' know any goray who call their parents by their names like that, how many have u met who Do?

I'm with Sara on this, I don't know any white people whose kids call them by their first names, how many do YOU know that do this?
But this is a very interesting thread. This is an upcoming discussion for us because Steff wants to be called "ammi" which is what I call my mom and which is what Steff calls my mom. I call my dad "abbu or abbu ji" and she wants me to be called the same, but I prefer "baba".
Re: Ami, abu, mum, dad...
I call my parents ammi ji and abu ji..
I would prefer my kids call me ami/amma and him baba. But, in the end, whatever they want to call us, i wouldn't have a problem with it.
my brothers son calls him BABA jan and Ama jan
and i would want my kids to call me same.
it sound weired when someone calls their parents MUMMY or DADDY
mum or dad is fine aswell
Re: Ami, abu, mum, dad…

As for what my kids will be calling me, no preference, but Mrs. wants them to call me papa.
