My son calls me “Akka,” not sure where he got that from…but he has been calling me that since he started to speak. I wanted him to call me mama or mammy but now i am fine with it. I love it! its very unique. I even got a shirt made with “Akka” on it…for his second bday :

he calls his dad, Abu.

.I hope he keeps it up, it’s different from the usual mom/ammi variations. My eldest cousin on my maternal side would fir some reason call my mamoo “Papa Ji”…and he liked it so much…that it stuck. That’s what we all call our mamoo. Heck even my mom and all of her susters also call mamu that. My sab se bari khala who must now be in her 80s is called Aapa by her younger siblings. And me and my siblings and all us cousins call her Aapa instead of khala or aunty. And my family referred to dada and dadi as bari ammi and abu ji…and we call our parents Mama and Papa. So, we’re all for messing up the traditional system, lol.
