Great topic/poll, though I object to the title/subject because what a person is called says nothing about what type of father they are (or aren’t).

Also interesting is spelling of totty vs. tatty where there weren’t enough options in the poll to represent both

This poll is a form of profiling. One could easily ask where did you grow up as a child/teen and where do you live now and probably get a similar distribution.

With some mixed areas. Which is the cause and which is the effect?

Ok. Here's an alternative poll: How do you call your wife, and how did your father call your mother?

IDK. I don't make the polls. I'll participate if there's a relevant option (can always include a catch-all option other/other).

What my kids call me has nothing to do with where I grew up or where I live.

I don't understand the question. You don't call you wife by her name? Your father didn't call your mother by hers? Or do you mean to ask within specific contexts? Like when talking to her in private, vs talking to her in front of your kids, talking about her to others?

You mean you don't call your wife "Honey", "Sweetheart", "Darling" etc.?

Lol, you want to ask about pet names and whether you use the same one(s) as your father does/did for your mother? We're crossing into a whole different territory from the other discussions on here.

Do Mama, Mommy, Imma, <First Name>+suffix, <any of the first few terms>+suffix also fall into that category?

How could they? Those are all descriptors or names in addition to whatever endearment is attached. Honey, sweetheart, etc are all purely terms of endearment.
