[@maggieee3593]

"other mommy" immediately makes me think of Coraline haha!

[@mk45917]

same here

[@KaylaButler]

Yes! 😂

[@camicat111]

that’s what i thought of too haha

[@amandagarrison4538]

Two mom to be here! We’ve heard before that it’s important to have set names, whatever they may be, and make sure that friends, family, and school understand who is who when the child is asking for mama.

[@madisontaber2366]

I grew up with two moms and I absolutely love this debate hahaha. My moms did use the same name when we were really little and it did get confusing when my siblings and I would chat about our moms. It apparently didn’t last long and we started differentiating with mommy and mama 👀

[@mamatae1113]

Also Sam- your babies will say mama before they say mommy so you’ll be happy to go by mama when that happens 🥰

[@shay_1013]

us citizen here - i’ve never heard anyone call someone mama as a nickname unless they’re actually a mom lol. i think mommy and mama are both cute!

[@ashmurillo4396]

Speaking from experience, My wife and I go by mommy and mama. Our son started calling my wife by her actually name because he would hear me say her name when I would call out for her. That made her kind of upset so I started implementing mommy when I would call her. Like “ mommy can you change Kai’s diaper, or hey mommy did you take the dogs out etc” So now he knows that I am mama and that my wife is mommy. Seems like kids definitely go based off what they hear.

[@justagirl4117]

I think that two different names are way more practical so that you and friends/ family/ kindergarten teachers immediately know who they are asking for. Also I am from Germany and we call our moms Mama, so I obviously find it a very fitting name, but here it's pronounced with more of an a sound instead of that mix of o and a that you used and the first a is quite short. I would consider the names mama and mom, because I feel like mommy would be the least likely name to age well. When they want to be cool eventually, mom will surely be fine and intuitively, I would think that mama is still better than mommy, but that might just be my impression.

[@brittanystorey9460]

You could always do USA & Canadian- mom and mum - close enough but different enough. 🤷‍♀️ I called my mom both because I was raised in a duel citizenship house.

[@rena-ot2pw]

“they don’t call us anything”😂😂

[@ChoochooseU]

I laughed so hard at you two doing your sponsorship but behind you are two fur babies acting up and having so much fun with the dolly!!! 😂 I’m Mommy, turned Mom, turned Gran- Cept the youngest insists I’m Maw for whatever reason in his two year old mind. Hubby is Daddy, Dad and Grandude.

[@ellachristine104]

Don't know anyone who calls their buds mama in the US?? What Lol. Mommy and mama is perfect though! I agree with Sam. 💕

[@mamatae1113]

Mommy and mama is cute ❤️ Mama is used as a nickname sometimes here in the US but not enough to not make me want my kids to call me mama lol

[@ellimaya1140]

Mama is absolutely adorable I am Latino grew up calling my mother mom and mama, mamash , mummy ,momma , mamuska

[@AchieveWithMe]

yes I call baby girls and girl dogs “mama”. my gf calls me “mama”. i don’t call my mom “mama” bc i’ve called her mommy all my life but i wouldn’t mind if my kids decided to call me “mama.” me and my gf agreed i will be mommy and she will be mama. and the kids can pick whoever they want to shorten to “mom” if they chose

[@marcoaguilar4777]

[@SK-bt7iv]

Sam would be the sweetest 'Mama' 😀

[@latoyaharris3858]

I’m mama and as my kids get older they sometimes say mom and I feel like mama is so loving. I guess the real question is what will you refer to each other because Allie is refusing to agree with you Sam!! I think Mommy and mama is a wonderful 🥰

[@milyreiter]

agreed! And she should accommodate what you want :) if you wanna be mama, she should refer to you as mama!

[@melsie6718]

I like Mom/Mommy and Mama! You have to consider when they're talking to other people/each other, how they'll refer to one of you specifically!! Obviously it's up to you, but I agree with Allie (I think? The pregnant one anyway! Sorry I'm more or less new and I just realized I don't actually know who's who...). But I agree, you can't both be mommy! 😂

[@SweetAshGamer]

I think mama is so adorable. You could also just do mom and mommy as well. So excited for you guys! 💜

[@daijay9084]

I think there will be times when your child will want to call to you, under those circumstances you will need to distinguish who the child is trying to communicate with. Thus I think Mama and Mummy (Mum) will naturally come about.

[@KaylaButler]

I wouldn’t worry about the “mama” nickname in the states. It’s kind of a cultural thing & it depends on the region. Also in cultures here and abroad people use “mami” (mommy is pronounced similarly) as a term of endearment as well. There is no parent nickname someone isn’t calling their friends somewhere. 🤷🏻‍♀️ might as well choose what fits right for you

[@Traye76]

Momma is definitely a thing in the states. "What's up momma?" Very common.

[@InjectMorphineIntoMe]

My wife and I went through the whole “what will the baby call us” and I wanted to be mama sooooo badly and my wife wanted to be mum. Our son is starting to babble… he says mum or ma to me and dada to my wife lol long story short, don’t get too hung up on the name of who is called what. Your children will call you want they want :)

[@rena-ot2pw]

you’re both so full of positivity and love and brightness,the twins will absolutely love you 🤍

[@racheljulianna8503]

I like mommy and mama! 😂❤️ I think it’s cute or mom and mommy!

[@racheljulianna8503]

My fiancé made my name into “mommom” and say it like one word. It’s cute bc it’s unique and that’s what my babe knows me as.😂❤️

[@evier979]

Not in the USA. Let the babies choose. Because they will. My Mom was momma when I was little and as I grew older she became mom. You two are adorable. I love Momma.

[@mg.munozz]

I’m from the US and some of us do say “mama” as an endearing nickname, I mostly use it for younger kids though… I think it’s mostly an ethnic thing tbh

[@livelongandprospermary8796]

I call my mom momma

[@DanacaLove]

Definitely they’ll both be calling u mom and mom by the time they are double digits 😂 I love how excited you both are, it’s so beautiful ❤️

[@dianahoffman1412]

You are both the cutest!I I actually like mommy and mama!

[@bbeth4]

i personally would recommend having 2 different names for when they’re calling for you so you go to have to hear the “no the other one” i often call my mum mama or muma and then when i didn’t want to call her that out in public or wherever i’d call her ma and she’s told me that one is her favourite :) - a fellow canadian

[@samanthagrace8874]

I’ve heard Mama used in like a “hey pretty lady” - like the Black Eyed Peas song “Hey Mama”

[@thetraylors1975]

My wife and I have decided on "Mommy " and " mama"! I think that is the norm! Sam stick to your guns!! You are mama now 😁😄

[@sierrahall8791]

I know the twins are already here but i’m in your back catalog and wanted to chime in on this! I’m part Mexican and when I don’t call my mom “Mom”, I call her “Má” or “Amá” and I think it rolls off the tongue! So when the twins get older you could turn Mummy into Mum and Mama into Ma or Ama. :)

[@meganjones1326]

Mummy and mama definitely, its so sweet.

[@sarahkokebnesh]

we really like the mommy and mama combo! also here in Germany "mama" is THE typical word used for mothers, so for us it is completely normal :D

[@megansyck9170]

I have never heard anyone referred to by the nickname mama here in the US. 😂 You both are so funny! ❤️

[@Legendary-Lolly]

I still call my mom mama. Mama and mommy is cute!

[@waynebottomley2263]

Hi guys. Ima 75 yr old gampi( my first grandchild Cooper couldn’t say grampy but said Gampy instead and I love it.we made sure my second grandson called me that also I am a Haligonian . Born and raised. Now live in Calgary with my so,daughter and 5 yr old Odric( Odie)

[@loricrownover2794]

I'm in the us and we do not call our friends momma lol we call our "mom" mommy when real young, momma when about age 7-10 then mom teen and up. There are lots of people that just stick with mommy or momma there whole life!! Btw I love you guys and I'm so excited for you to!! Allie could be mommy and Sam could be Honey , 💞

[@Meagananja]

My wife and I always say mom and other mom for our pets and it’ll probably transfer to kids too 😂

[@sophie7162]

Kiddos often end up making up their own names for you too 💕 haha my niece called her grandma burger for two years😂

[@kevincalvert8439]

They will call you mama before anything else. and y"all are going to be the best MAMA's in the WORLD.

[@tamzc2989]

I called my mom mama my entire life 😂😂

[@louisacoote2337]

You could be Mommy/Mama Allie and Mommy/Mama Sam or both choose a name you both like.

[@mackconnelly]

allie’s idea wasn’t bad at all but also being in canada where they will probably learn the french maman at school, i think it will be super easy and common for them to have mom and mama too. both ideas are good!! but you should totally decide for yourself what YOU want to be called. also it may be weird at the beginning but after a couple months it’ll be totally normal

[@mimi-j5723]

Mommy and Mama is the cutest ever!!

[@TaylorW1818]

I like mommy and mama. I’m 24 and I call my real my mama, and my mother in law and my step mom, mom. When my wife and I have our kids we will have them call us mommy and mama. And as they grow older, then they will be allowed to call us whatever they feel is easiest. But it’s important to have distinguished names for one another for your babies to know, because of reasons for school, friends, family, etc.. it prevents confusion and frustration

[@eirinhuse654]

I love the sound of mama😁 In Norway we say Mamma❤️

[@katelynnmcdougall9826]

mom. and momma sounds good but so do mommy and momma , the kids will most likely give you fun names they can say as they get older :)

[@conniehwood]

It’s mainly a thing with teachers and coaches and stuff to help differentiate you both

[@haloo_haybay]

I would go with Momma and Mummy. This allows your kids to call you Mom and Mum when they’re older.

[@frostiesarah2315]

Mummy or Mum also be prepared when the babies start babbling that they may even say ‘da da da’ but whatever they call you it’ll be special. I’m so excited to continue following you on this journey ❤️

[@pararoo7536]

as someone who calls their friends “mama”: when it’s referring to a friend it’s pronounced more like “MAWma”, but if i were referring to my mom or like someone’s parent i’d say it more like “MUHma”. also hello i also live in Halifax!

[@kortnimorris948]

How will y’all announce when the babies are born? Are y’all taking a maternity leave?

[@honorcollins6962]

Mum and mumma makes the most sense I think

[@VSandTaylorSwiftLove]

my fiancee and I are planning to go by mama L and mama J - kind of like bette and tina from the L word LOL!

[@oceantide8084]

I’ve not heard mama here in America. Mommy is perfect for both. I always called my mommy mom.

[@jamier.hayden4636]

Mom works for both. Ex. Kid comes up to parent and says, "I'm going to the store with mom" "Or, can I have money to go to the store with mom" or "Mom needs you" . You are going to know who they are talking about.

[@lauraelisee]

I don’t think I’d want to be called other mommy either lol

[@CatFromFL]

There are many nicknames for mothers, mum, ma, mom, momma, mommy, and even others. My children called me mommy and momma, later mom in the teens. To my grands I am both nana and grandma, my mother was GG or Gigi for great grandmother. I think one of you should be momma and the other one mommy. That way both can be mom, and their friends won’t be confused.

[@mandyvk90]

Hey! I'm dutch and we only have mama. Well... Moeder is Mother and mama is mom. So mama is a great name. U cant use other mommy when you both are not there and there referencing you to other people. When it's just you guys it works (like with your dogs).

[@lilyd.7998]

Every child in Germany says Mama, so it fits great with mommy I think

[@brooklynmiller6649]

I’m from the US and I’ve never heard mama as a nickname other than for a mom lol

[@OKAYLUSH]

In California people say mama or mamas usually to women that are moms, but sometimes they will say like “aye sexy mama” 😂😂 I’m being called mama and my wife is being called mom

[@lelonieluna]

That is funny because I am finishing up my degree in family studies and human development and just got a job offer to be a Montessori guide(teacher) !! I never really knew much about it before, but have been doing so much research on it, and love it! So I am excited to enter the world of Montessori

[@Sarah_spamzz23]

I’m in love with Harry stiles I love your vidos even more noe!

[@debbieprice5524]

Mama is not a nickname Sam Mama sounds so sweet stand your ground Allie let her have her way.

[@aspenbrowning2559]

I'm from the US and have never heard anyone with the nickname mama. I've always heard two mother couples going by mom, momma, mama, or mommy

[@charmcumm9194]

In Italy the Caribbean and other parts of the world, kids do call their parents mama.

[@victoriaspringle4873]

Um… No. We don’t use Mama with our friends. - USA.

[@liadanlei]

"Mama" is only kind of a thing as a buddy/friend thing, I associate it mostly with the gay community lol - similar to "Yes, queen!" "Yes, mama!" It's a pretty small thing, I don't think that's the main association people have with it hahhaa

[@roseannerivera4389]

In the US mama is a nickname. I think mommy and mommy is cute I agree with Allie. The twins know who they are talking to and you will know who they are talking to because they will point and make eye contact. Babies are so smart.

[@loganmilisits6709]

I have also seen another couple on tiktok whos children call them “mommy” or “mama” and i think that is the best… the kids understand and never call mommy by “mama” or call mama by “mommy”… definitely not a fan of “other mommy” 🥰🥰🥰

[@ericahernandez335]

It’s totally a thing! 😂 we all call our girlfriends “Mama”. Hey mama, can you meet up for coffee?

[@noemiee25]

This video made me laugh so much haha! I like all of your ideas, but I think they might hear you call each other Wasi and call you that. 🤪

[@FeralSpirit]

Hi love your videos. Question what is your secret for keeping your place so clean with all of your fur babies?

[@kolbymeyers66]

I'm in Canada and my daughters both call me Mama. It's great.

[@cherylmark1503]

Mommy and Mama definitely!!

[@kristenbeal8333]

As babies, they will say mama fist and probably call you both mom or mama. When it comes to them calling to one of you and being specific or talking to someone else about one of you and being specific about which one I think that best option is probably going to be mama "A" Mama "S". Cuz when they're able to talk and when they have to call to one of you when they get a little bit older it's probably going to be a lot easier to say like Mama A or Mama S. But I think (for now) it will be easier to call one mommy and the other mama. And I'm sure when they get to a talking age and can understand a little bit more they'll probably let you know what they want to call you each. Congratulations you both and I'm so happy for you guys.

[@alicia-xr4bv]

mommy/mom and mama for sure!

[@MrsMrsJones]

We call our kitty Mama and we will me Mama A and Mama K but they will call you whatever lol either way love this convo!!

[@hannahdean3557]

I have always called my mom mimi and she loves it

[@kengbrissy3074]

mama or mommy would be first word maybe😁❤️

[@oliviarichard8575]

My aunts go by amma and momo, my cousin had so much trouble saying mama (that’s where amma comes from) and I think momo just happened naturally, sometimes they call her Mo for short.

[@wandacable3739]

My Mom was Mama to me all my life. I’m Ma to my kids. Not sure how I feel about that but they’re 45 and 46 now so I guess I’ll keep answering to it!😁🥰

[@shhhlauren]

The other mommy thing works until they’re at the age to talk about you to each other and suddenly you’re both “other mommy” without reference to who is who.

[@rylehC18x19]

Mommy and mama are cute..just like other couples did..

[@lassam333]

Mama is totally fine and much better than "other mommy".

[@lindat1879]

I agree with Sam, s/b Mommy and Momma.

[@sassfireluna659]

In Newfoundland we say Mudder ... haha

[@destinyjade9817]

I’m American and we call our parent, mother, mom, momma or mommy. I know UK does mum and mummy. Mum and Mom definitely sounds different.

[@dianavazquez4267]

I have a daughter with my partner and we did the pregnancy together. She’s 6 now and she calls us both mom and when she says “Mom” and one of us answers that she’s not talking to she says “no, my other mom”

[@chantalroy6559]

I find Mum and Mom will probably be what it will evolve into. Most likely used interchangeably. Don't worry, it will come organically. My Friends go by Maman( French way of saying mom) and Mo, lol, they wanted to be Maman and Mom/Mommy but little one did not want to. They would call her Mo.

[@Touch__grasss]

I call my mom mama and I’m a teenager and I know a few other people who also do it so I don’t think that’s weird. Also I’m imagining your kids when they have friends trying to tell a story with both of you it in then having to use your names or something so their friends would know who is who. Also they might call you mom if it’s just you there but I feel like the different names are still useful for when you’re both there.

[@olivia_leigh1]

i live in the US and have never heard of people saying mama as a nickname!

[@kortnimorris948]

In the USA we call our moms mama or momma when we are little or even mommy it just is interchangeable

[@aliciajacquez1731]

so i went to a Montessori school and it was amazing. i do however want to warn you that after about 4-5th grade transitions into middle school, i would either put them in a “normal” school or offer them extra tutoring in math. i went to a montessori school that was prek-8th grade and by the time i had left, i was so bad at math and needed a lot of help in high school

[@binicorn848]

My mother is Mexican (my dad is Irish) and she wanted me to call my parents Mexican names. My father is Papá, but my mom is Mamá, which is different pronunciation than Mama, though I don't know how to type that. But a consideration for Sam! But I do love mom and other mom lol.

[@virginiamiller7404]

Mommy & Mama 💯

[@mariahstieve4958]

Allie is right about the “mama” thing. 😂 I live in the US.

[@catecate2809]

Very true 😂

[@hayley2862]

I'm from the US. I think I've only ever seen a grown man cat call a woman by saying "hey, mama" in the movies. I call my mom: mom, mama, and ma. Oh, and mother if I need to get her attention but she hates it. Mama is popular the south.

[@clare7535]

Mummy and Muma are lovely names
