What do your kids call you?

In an interview with GMTV, Nicole Kidman admits that her children don't call her 'mommy'. Considering the fact that her children are 12 and 14, that isn't all that surprising. Usually kids move on to 'mom' when they get a bit older, right? Except she also says that sometimes they call her 'Nicole'. I think it is a little odd when kids call their parents by their first names, but it isn't unheard of. I know a family where the children, ages 8 to 17, call their father by his first name. Mom is 'mom', but dad is 'Steve'. When I first became aware of this, I was curious about it and asked how that came to be. Nobody really knew, other than the first child started it and the others followed suit.
Last night I asked Ellie what she thought about kids calling their parents by their first names. She thought it was hysterical and couldn't imagine why a kid would do that. But even if they don't use first names, kids do call their parents all kinds of things other than 'mommy and 'daddy'. My daughter calls me 'mother' and Ellie calls me 'nana'.
