~ Naming Etiquette.

[Mayana]

i call my mom mom and my dad dad

sometimes ill throw in a moray or a plara

I sometimes wish I had a bigger variety when it comes to giving them nicknames, they all have their fixed name and that's it. =/

[kandahari ella]

Dad-- "agha"
Mom-- "mommy" apparently when I was younger I used to always call my mom, "mommy janneee"
Grandma-- "mooraka"

Siblings-- by their nicknames, unless their in trouble then its by their first and middle names.

Aunts and Uncles--Khala, Ama, Kaka, Mama, followed by their names.

Strangers-- are always khalas and kaka's followed by their first names.
