    My wife and I decided on how we want our son to call us. She’ll be mama, and I’ll be wama, like Mario and Wario.

    We have a recurring joke in our family where lots of things get called wa-something when it’s different, not just bad like the original name implies.

    It’s small, but was super validating especially since she is the one who pushed for a new name for me.

      I’m working on parent names too with my wife :) I’ve been daddy up to this point (21 months) and although I don’t get dysphoria from my son referring to me as daddy, it’s not feeling right with other people.

      Anyways, glad to hear you’ve found out what your son will call you ❤️ I’m personally leaning towards Momo and my wife is Mama. Momo because it’s a mix of mama with the first initial of my name (Olivia) and also, reminds me of Momo from Avatar the Last Airbender; so I’m digging that, lol.
