Is it right to call mother by her name? How do you call your mother?

Im calling my mother as MAMA..:) sometimes when i amke fun of her, i call her jocelyn which is her name.. lolx.. she dont mind it anyway..:D cause maybe she knows im a bit crazy, but she thinks im loud and really crazy nyaha.. lolx

In the Philippines we call our mother not by their name. It would mean that you don't respect your elders if you call them by their name. We call our mothers nay, ina, mama, inang, and many more since we have many different ethnic languages.

i call my mom just mom,and yeah ppl here in china ve the same view point on tthe respect on moms,if some1 calls his/her mom by name,then he/she will be blamed and punished by others,so ppl will feel strange that some1 do this,it's rarely here.have a nice time.

God morning SHAMRACK, Well, in some familys they teach their children to call their parents by their names. But I think normaly it is that we do say mummy or mum. My son say mum to me, and when I get tired of hearing him say mum over and over again...I say mummy me here and mummy me there. My way of saying it is enough. But again, I have respect of my mother so I say mother to let other people know she is my MOTHER. As you did thought that her mother was a friend just becouse she called her by her name. You easaly get mixed up.

i do call my mom 'amma'.....as a south indian.....but sometimes i call her by her name....or nick name.....

i used to call her to make fun....or when we are playing.....

i am the youngest in my family.....so i am the most pampered girl at home.....

so everyone enjoy when i act like this.....even my mom likes it.....

sometimes i call my dad also by his name....i dont find it wrong or i dont feel it is not like giving respect.....

i respect them very much....i love them a lot....

happy mylotting.....keep lotting........keep earning........

have a good day.........cheers........

Different people feel differently about this topic, and people will do what is right for them. Just because I choose to call my mother "Mom" (Mommy when I was little) does not mean that is the right thing for everyone to do. As long as families are in agreement, that is all that should matter.

Amma Is Used In all South Indian Languages Dear Friend .. I Don't feel It is Right to Call Your Mother By Her Name .. It is Disrespectful .. I Remember once when I Was Younger I Was Angry I Wanted to call her by her Name .. Thank God, i didn't .. Do More On myLot .. Thank You ..

If I was to call my mother by her name she might slap me. I call her momma. I think it is disrespectful to call her by her name.

I think Americans do that but I don't think they consider that as disrespect, or at least to some families it is normal. My family is conservative too,I am sure to get a slap in the face if I call my mother by name. I call her mommy and I train my kids to call me mommy too. I wouldn't want my kids calling me by name no matter how close we are.

I don't believe anyone can call his/her mother by her name, its so disrespectful..
I call my mom, mummy and same do my kids call me....Think if someday i may get angry with my mom, and do try calling her by her name, i don't think any words will even come out of my mouth ...
Here in our indian culture, to respect our husbands, we even don't call them by their name..
