What shall I name myself and my mother? (non-english)?

Question

Well after posting a topic on naming my triplets, I wondered what I'm going to call my self. I don't fell confortable with the english "mom/mum/mam-my" etc having not called my mother that. I call her by her name Mary but I don't want my children to do the same.

So if you could tell me what Mother and Grandmother is in your language I'd be very gratefull.

Answer 1

in german:

for mother:Mama, Mami, Mutter, Mutti

for grandmother:Oma, Omi

Answer 2

Well, my mom gets called Meemaw....my husband's mother is "yudow" (Arabic).

In this household, I am glad my kids call me Mom. I'd hate to have 7 kids yelling Omaya and not know if they meant me or the other moms in here!!

Answer 3

Mother in the USA is usually Mom or Ma. We don't go on a first name basis.

Grandmother goes from everything from Gram or nana

Answer 4

Answer 6

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 9

my girl calls me mommy and calls her grandma "ma".
