What do you call your parents?

I was visiting my aunt recently and my cousins call her Mamma which I found a little weird. I've always called my mother Mum and my father Daddy and I guess I just assumed that everyone else also addressed their parents in this fashion.

So now I'm curious to see the different names people call their parents?
Mom? Mummy? Ma? Dad? Daddy? etc....

We call them by their first names as never made the transition from Mummy/Daddy to Mum/Dad, as it seemed too generic and wrong

Dad.
Mum and dad
Mum is often "ma" because "mum" takes too much effort to say.

Unfortunately dad has to be "dad" because I can't think of a "ma" equivalent to this. :frown:
Mam or mumma and dad
Mum and Dad. Unless i'm talking to other people about them when it's Mummy and Daddy. :dontknow:
