Calling Parents by Their Name | comment |
Children, no matter their age, usually refer to their parents as "mom/mum and dad", "mommy/mummy and daddy", "mother and father", or the like. When they are on a First-Name Basis it usually means something significant about their family. It could be that mom and dad are Hippie Parents or Open Minded Parents, or simply pragmatism for those that have same-sex parents. It could be that the child is bratty and rebellious. Maybe the parent in question didn't meet their child until adulthood or weren't the primary caregiver, or maybe their relationship just isn't very good. It could even be merely a case of You Called Me "X"; It Must Be Serious. This is a common way to tell a biological parent You're Not My Father. In Eastern media, this act is taken much more seriously, as it is virtually unheard of for children to call their parents by only their name. When present, it is often a sign of extreme estrangement or even outright hostility between parent and child. Step-parents, foster parents, and sometimes adopted parents are usually (but not always) exempt from the "Don't call your parents by their name" rule, especially if they're relatively new. Compare First-Name Basis and Parental Title Characterization. See New Parent Nomenclature Problem for the problem of what to call a step-parent or parental substitute. A Significant Name Shift may occur depending on the relationship. Examples |

In Brimstone Angels, Farideh and Havilar always call their adopted father by his name, Mehen. In this case, it's cultural; Mehen is a dragonborn (though his daughters aren't) and that's just how dragonborn do things. This is borne out when the dragonborn city of Djerad Thymar is visited later in the series and more dragonborn families are introduced. | |

Adventure Time: When Finn first meets his Disappeared Dad, he calls him "Dad", but his father tells him to call him "Martin" instead, because he isn't comfortable being a father, right before he abandons him at the Citadel. The second time they meet, Finn calls him Martin most of the time, but uses "Dad" when he's saying something important or emotional. | |

Lyra from His Dark Materials always refers to her parents as "Lord Asriel" and "Mrs Coulter". While this is originally because she doesn't know they are her parents, even after The Reveal she uses those names as she's not particularly close to either of them, even actively fighting one, the other, or both throughout the course of the series. | |

In the last two Die Hard movies, both Lucy in Live Free or Die Hard and John Jr. in A Good Day to Die Hard call their dad just "John". In both films it's clearly used to indicate the distant relationship they have with McClane, who's obviously better at saving the day than maintaining family relationships. | |

X-Men: Deadpool has this with both of his daughters. Ellie used to refer to him as "Dad" or "Daddy", during volume 3, and early volume 4 of the series. Then issues 17, she starts calling him "Wade", saying that her therapist told her that she shouldn't consider him a father-figure. She does go back to calling him Dad, given the recent chapter 32 of volume 4. But 2099 shows she eventually goes back to just referring to him by name, which he protests to no avail. She didn't meet Deadpool until she was around 8. Then even after that, she was Happily Adopted by a friend of Deadpool. Warda has deep issues with Wade, feeling that he favored and loved Ellie over her. She also hated inheriting his legacy which was the healing factor, with repulsive face scarring. The Stepford Cuckoos used to refer to their biological mother, Emma Frost, as "Miss Frost" up until recently when they began calling her "Mother" or "Mom" instead. Cyclops and Jean Grey's children usually address them as Scott and Jean. Cable usually calls them by their names despite having a decent relationship with them because of their Supernaturally Young Parent status and the fact that he's spent most of his life without them, though he has occasionally called Scott "Father" or "Dad" in serious situations. On the other hand, Cable's time-traveling teenaged self introduced in Extermination has no problem calling his parents Mom and Dad. His sister Rachel Summers, Jean and Scott's Kid from the Future, similarly bounces back and force between calling her (sort-of) parents Mom and Dad or just by their names. Wolverine's kids generally address him as "Logan", which is natural considering he didn't raise either of them. In Laura's case, she was genetically engineered from Logan's DNA and didn't meet him until she was 13. For years she was thought to be Logan's Opposite-Sex Clone before it was revealed she was actually his biological daughter, though by that point she had long since accepted him as her father. On the other hand, Daken (conceived the normal way) didn't meet Wolverine until well into adulthood and has hated his dad's guts since day one for abandoning him (albeit unintentionally) and also for a period when he believed he had killed his mother. Both have only ever called him "Dad" in rare moments of emotional honesty (or sometimes sarcasm in Daken's case). |

Bleach: Uryuu calls his father, Ryuuken, by his name, showing the extreme estrangement between the two. It's revealed that Uryuu left home before he was fifteen, and was mainly raised by his grandfather, Souken. Ryuuken himself has anger issues with Souken, as he has always hated being a Quincy and cannot tolerate Uryuu learning how to be one from Souken. Although Souken tried to tell Uryuu that Ryuuken has reasons for being so angry, Uryuu refused to listen. Souken stole Quincy technology from the Wandenreich when exiled for future use opposing Yhwach. When Yhwach murdered Uryuu's mother with magical silver, Ryuuken forever destroyed his desire to be a Quincy by secretly autopsying his own wife to collect the silver and forge the only weapon capable of neutralising Yhwach. Uryuu learns the truth when Ryuuken gives him the arrow to help Ichigo defeat Yhwach. The epilogue reveals Uryuu has reconciled with Ryuuken and is now a doctor at his father's hospital. | |

Fire Emblem: A variant in Genealogy of the Holy War. In the original Japanese, Tine uses respectful familial titles on her uncle Bloom and her cousins Ishtore and Ishtar, but simply refers to her aunt Hilda by name, because she despises Hilda for her cruel treatment of Tine's mother Tailtu. In The Blazing Blade, Nino eventually starts referring to her mother, Sonia, by name. Considering that Sonia is not only a horrifically Abusive Parent to Nino, but is not actually Nino's mother (having murdered Nino's real parents, then raised her on Nergal's orders), this is entirely justified. In Radiant Dawn, if Pelleas survives long enough, he will start calling his mother "Lady Almedha" rather than "Mother," having realized she is not actually his mother. Gerome in Awakening has a tendency to do this, as he had preferred being a lone wolf and wanted to avoid too much contact with his parents, who died in his time. In the scene in which Lucina reunites with her father in Chapter 12, shortly after her conversation with Chrom, her mother- The Female Avatar, Sumia, Maribelle, Sully or Olivia- will join her, initially not recognizing Lucina as her daughter. Lucina initially addresses Sumia and Sully by name (and uses "Milady" on the Female Avatar, Maribelle or Olivia), unsure of how they'd take being called "Mother", until her mother insists it's perfectly fine. After this point, Lucina exclusively uses "Mother" on her mother unless the Female Avatar is her mother, in which case, Lucina once says, "I am sorry, Avatar!" when threatening to kill her to save Chrom's life. In Fates, on the Birthright path, Corrin almost exclusively calls his/her father "King Garon" or just "Garon", since while Garon raised Corrin, Corrin realizes that Garon is responsible for many atrocities, from abducting Corrin as an infant to manipulating Corrin into inadvertently causing the death of his/her mother, Queen Mikoto, and has sworn to defeat Garon. Corrin even calls Garon "old man" after learning that Garon doesn't care about Elise and Xander's deaths. In Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, Sonya calls her father Jedah by his name if she faces him in Act 4. This is understandable because Jedah offered the souls of her sisters to the Evil God Duma and Sonya resents him for this. Three Houses, The protagonist, Byleth, refers to their father Jeralt by name in a few dialogue choices, but it's unclear whether they do so on a regular basis. Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes would expand upon this and clarify that Byleth calls their father by their name frequently. Ashe, the adoptive son of Lord Lonato, calls Lonato by name rather than "Father" or "Lord Lonato." In Engage, most of Sombron's surviving children refer to their father by name, due to hating him for how he treated his children as expendable pawns, and thus no longer considering him a father. The only exceptions are both of Veyle's personalities- the former has some affection for her "Papa" despite wanting to stop him, while the latter is fanatically loyal to him- as well as Rafal on occasion. Additionally, Alear, the protagonist turns out to be Sombron's child, but continues calling Sombron by name after The Reveal, due to not considering Sombron to be a father. |

Zig-zagged in BoJack Horseman. Hollyhock calls BoJack (whom both initially believe to be her biological father) by his name upon finding him; she explicitly states that she has no interest in forming a father-daughter bond with him (as she's Happily Adopted by eight dads), and is hanging around him only so she can find her birth mother. Eventually, it turns out that Hollyhock is not BoJack's illegitimate daughter, but rather his much-younger half-sister (having been conceived from an affair BoJack's father had with his younger maid), so Hollyhock calling BoJack by his name is appropriate. However, when she finally finds her birth mother, she refers to her as Henrietta while talking to BoJack, though more likely out of not knowing her well rather than not being interested in connecting, since she does mention that Henrietta seems nice. | |

Arrow This becomes an issue when Thea discovers her biological father is not the deceased Robert Queen, but supervillain Malcolm Merlyn, whom her mother had an affair with. Whom she refers to as "Dad" depends on her relationship with Malcolm at the moment, whom she gradually becomes disillusioned with. In Flash Forwards, William generally refers to his step-mother as "Felicity", even though he explicitly sees her as his mother. The fact that Blackstar also refers to her as "Felicity" is used to disguise the fact that she is actually Mia Smoak, Felicity's daughter and William's half-sister. After the reveal, they alternate between using "Felicity" and "mom", but when speaking to her they always use "mom". |

The Simpsons: Bart frequently calls Homer by his given name, which shows how bratty and disrespectful he is towards him. He usually refers to Homer as "Dad" whenever he is not around (and at times also casually calls him Dad when he's talking to him), implying it's more of a means to get a cheap rise out of Homer rather than actual disdain. In "Sorry Not Sorry", Bart similarly demotes his mother to "Marge" for the first time in the entire series after she attempts to serve the family a healthy breakfast of cantaloupe. As shown in the flashback episode "Lisa's First Word", both Bart and Lisa referred to Homer by his first name as infants (with every attempt to get them to call him "Daddy" failing), building up to the heartwarming final scene where Maggie calls him "Daddy", though out of earshot. However, unlike Bart, Lisa refers to him solely as "Dad" now. Lisa occasionally calls her father "Homer" in the original The Tracey Ullman Show shorts as well. She also does it in "Lisa the Greek". Parodied with Ned in "Bull-E". Being foils to the Simpson children much as their father is to Homer, Rod and Todd won't even do this upon request, with Todd telling their stepmother Edna that "it's disrespectful to call a grown-up by their first name." Naturally, cue Bart's voice from next door: In "How Lisa Got Her Marge Back", Marge is shocked when Lisa calls her "Marjorie" after a fight. Homer doesn't see what the big deal is since Bart always calls him by his first name, but Marge points out to him that Bart does it specifically out of disrespect. |

In Kevin & Kell, this is seen in both the elder children of the Dewclaw family: Although their relationship has matured over the years, especially as they bonded over Rudy's unexpected talent for gardening, Rudy never calls Kevin "Dad". He does refer to Kevin as his stepfather to others, but he always calls Kevin by his first name. He still thinks of his biological father, Randy Foxglove, as his "Dad"...in spite of his later-revealed flaws. Lindesfarne starts calling her adoptive mother Angelique by name when temporarily staying with her, since Lindesfarne no longer considers Angelique her mother. Her feelings are justified, considering that Angelique never made any serious attempt to get close to Lindesfarne, and abandoned her and Kevin. Unlike Rudy, she has alternately called Kell both "Mom" and by her first name. This owes to Lindesfarne and Kell having connected much more fluidly than Rudy and Kevin. |

Most adaptations of the Mega Man (Classic) series have Mega Man and Roll refer to Dr. Light primarily by his name even though they clearly consider each other family. Presumably, it has something to do with the fact that Mega Man and Roll are robots while Dr. Light is human. The comic book adaptation is probably the one where the two most frequently refer to Light as "dad". | |

Fringe: Peter Bishop calls Walter Bishop "Walter." At first Peter has no affection for Walter, due to Walter having spent 17 years in an asylum after killing his lab assistant, and during which Peter's mother took her own life. In the second season Peter finally calls Walter "Dad", only to find out that his real father was "Walternate" from the other dimension. He goes back to calling his father "Walter" (except for rare occasions) for the rest of the series. | |

Lyrical Nanoha: Vivio does this for her adoptive parents, but it's less a lack of respect and more for the sake of convenience since she has two moms and has to specify which one she's referring to in a conversation. It's also downplayed since she uses "mama" as an honorific and will occasionally just call Nanoha "mama" (Fate is exclusively "Fate-mama"). There is a single time where she just refers to them by name, but it was due to her suffering from Clone Angst and feeling unworthy of having parents. Erio and Caro call Fate, who's technically their adoptive mothernote At least in Erio's case, Lindy is the actual legal guardian, since Fate was too young to play that role at the time, and whom they otherwise treat as such, "Fate-san." In ViVid Strike!, Rinne briefly refers to her adoptive parents as "Dan-san and Lori-san" in her thoughts as she's considering parting ways with them and returning to the orphanage. It isn't out of disrespect, but a belief that she doesn't deserve to be with them, after brutally beating up her bullies and thus damaging her family's reputation. |

Then again, an episode in Season 9 clarifies that he was raised by Twilight's parents, not Twilight herself, and therefore their relationship is more Like Brother and Sister. My Little Pony: Make Your Mark: Misty always refers to Opaline by her name or honorifics such as "your highness"- never as her mother. After reuniting with her father Alphabittle, Misty calls him by his name due to her forgetting about him after years of separation, so he tells her to call him "Dad". |

Naruto has a sibling example. Sasuke calls his older brother, Itachi, with his name ever since the Uchiha Clan Massacre (aside from a few exceptions where he calls him big brother). This might not sound unusual in the West, but calling your older siblings (especially those who are quite a bit older than you; Itachi is 5 years older than Sasuke) by their names in Japan is considered extremely rude, on par with calling your parents by their names. Justified given how pissed off he is at Itachi for killing their entire clan. Upon finding out Itachi's true motives, however, he begins calling him "nii-san" again. | |

When Barbara sees her, she calls her "Ann" instead of Mom and pretends they just know each other from school rather than let everyone else in class know that she's her mother. (It helps that, due to divorce, they have different last names.) Ann reluctantly goes along with it. | |

Unlike his younger brother Al, who still calls him "Dad", Ed never forgave him for abandoning their family and leaving them alone to deal with the death of their mother. However, towards the end of the manga, he finally calls him "Dad" after Hohenheim offers to give up his own life so Ed can bring back Al's body and soul (Ed refuses). | |

Les Misérables has a rare case where the parent requests this. After Cosette marries, her adoptive father Jean Valjean sadly distances himself from her so she'll never be disgraced by his past as a convict. He urges her to call him "Monsieur Jean", because he's not her "real" father and she "doesn't need a father" now that she's a married woman, and in turn starts calling her "Madame" instead of by her name. When they reunite as Valjean is dying, however, they once again address each other as "Father" and "Cosette." | |

Cyclops and Jean Grey's children usually address them as Scott and Jean. Cable usually calls them by their names despite having a decent relationship with them because of their Supernaturally Young Parent status and the fact that he's spent most of his life without them, though he has occasionally called Scott "Father" or "Dad" in serious situations. On the other hand, Cable's time-traveling teenaged self introduced in Extermination has no problem calling his parents Mom and Dad. His sister Rachel Summers, Jean and Scott's Kid from the Future, similarly bounces back and force between calling her (sort-of) parents Mom and Dad or just by their names. |

Strike the Blood has the Akatsuki sibling, protagonist Kojou and his younger sister Nagisa who refer to both their parents by their given names (with Akatsuki not bothering with honourifics, while Nagisa does). Nagisa doubles down by calling Kojou by his given name as well, rather than using one of the Japanese language's several terms for siblings. Kojou calling Nagisa by name doesn't count because that's normal. | |

Rick and Morty: Morty always calls his grandfather, Rick, by his name. This is likely because of two factors: 1) Rick treats Morty more like a friend than a grandchild, and 2) It's heavily implied that Rick wasn't around for most of Morty's childhood due to him abandoning the family for several yearsnote This is true in a way. The Rick that Morty knows is from a different dimension. Morty's real grandfather is Rick Prime, who killed Rick C-137's original wife and daughter, thus Morty doesn't connect with Rick in that way. Summer, Morty's sister, usually refers to him as either "Grandpa" or "Grandpa Rick", but will occasionally call him "Rick" when angry or panicked. As for Rick's actual daughter Beth, she usually addresses him as "Dad", but will sometimes call him "Rick" when talking about him in the third person. |

Uncomfortable to be called "mother", Synda asks Khany to see her as her sister and call her by name. Later, Yoko adopts a chinese orphan named Rosée du matin (Morning Dew) who keeps calling her "Yoko". This is likely because she sees Yoko more like a Cool Big Sis and still remembers her actual mom. |

For a person who has established over 12 seasons that family is the most important thing in life to him, the change speaks much louder than yelling ever could. He also refers to his father as "John" for the first time in a deleted scene from the final season, indicating character development. | |

Final Fantasy XII: Balthier calls his Archnemesis Dad, Dr. Cid, by that name. He might have even called him that since before their falling out, since Balthier was a Judge while Cid is Vayne's right-hand man. On the flipside, Cid refuses to call Balthier by anything but "Ffamran", his birth name. | |

Robin (1993): Tim usually calls his father Dad when speaking to him, but when talking about him to others it's more common for Tim to refer to him as Jack. It's likely due to the fact that Jack wasn't around much when Tim was growing up and barely tried to get to know his son until sometime after Tim turned sixteen. | |

Furry Basketball Association: Rolf Korber, head coach of the Huntsville Mayors, made it seem like he wanted to pick his son Klaus Korber as a new player. However, he pulled a fast one on everyone, Klaus included, by making a more strategic pick. Not only didn't father and son talk for quite some time, but when Klaus's team, The Tallahassee Typhoons, defeated the Mayors, Klaus said he was very proud to have defeated "Mr. Korber's" team. This, more than losing to his son, apparently threw Rolf for a loop. | |

Persona 5: Futaba calls Sojiro, her adoptive father and a long-time friend of her mother's, by his given name. Late in Sojiro's Confidant, there is one exception- when some family court officials show up to investigate her living situation, she says how happy she is "living with (her) dad", although she tries to play it off when he later asks her about it. In Akechi's case, He doesn't want to reveal to Shido yet that he's his son until he's helped him reach the height of his popularity before making it crumble along the rest of Japanese society. Unfortunately, part of Shido had already suspected it because of his apparent resemblance to his mother, and would have gotten rid of him anyway to tie up all loose ends. |

Wolverine's kids generally address him as "Logan", which is natural considering he didn't raise either of them. In Laura's case, she was genetically engineered from Logan's DNA and didn't meet him until she was 13. For years she was thought to be Logan's Opposite-Sex Clone before it was revealed she was actually his biological daughter, though by that point she had long since accepted him as her father. On the other hand, Daken (conceived the normal way) didn't meet Wolverine until well into adulthood and has hated his dad's guts since day one for abandoning him (albeit unintentionally) and also for a period when he believed he had killed his mother. Both have only ever called him "Dad" in rare moments of emotional honesty (or sometimes sarcasm in Daken's case). | |

Not a direct parent, but a parent figure: the MCU's version of Spider-Man and his friends refer to Aunt May as just "May", which often acts as a stark contrast to how every other incarnation of Aunt May is referred to.

When he does so, his friend Maria calls him on it and tells him to call her "Mum" instead, despite what Sarah Jane told him to do. Luke does, and she likes it. Played straight with Sky, adopted by Sarah Jane in the last season. Despite being Happily Adopted, she hasn't called Sarah Jane "Mum" yet. But then, Sky's also an alien and isn't quite used to Earth customs. |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Ant-Man: Hope calls her father Hank throughout, stemming from her long-seated resentment toward him. She does, however, call him "Dad!" once after he gets shot, an event that happens after they've started working through what happened to Hope's mother (the cause of the rift between father and daughter), and in Ant-Man and the Wasp, she exclusively calls him "Dad." After the events of Thor, where Loki discovers that he is adopted, Loki stops calling Odin his father and in the next three films (The Avengers,Thor: The Dark World and Thor: Ragnarok) refers to him exclusively by name. Thor also refers to Odin by his name but still just as often refers to him as "father". Not a direct parent, but a parent figure: the MCU's version of Spider-Man and his friends refer to Aunt May as just "May", which often acts as a stark contrast to how every other incarnation of Aunt May is referred to. That said, this change primarily is seen in Spidey's solo films - both Peter and Tony Stark do call her "Aunt May" in Captain America: Civil War. |

In this, the confrontation is more adversarial between King Rhoam and Zelda, where she finally loses it on her father and calls him out on the way he's barely been a father to her since her mother died. She starts it out by calling him by his first name, and not even preceding it with "King", something that's very disrespectful, especially among royalty. | |

A variant in one Doraemon short where Nobita and Doraemon goes to the future to check on Nobita's adult life. Nobita is happy to find out he married his Love Interest, Shizuka, in the future, but Nobita turns out to be an exact doppelganger of his future son, which he finds out when he tries calling Shizuka... only for adult!Shizuka (mistaking Nobita to be Nobita Jr.) to pinch his cheeks for "calling his mother directly by her name". | |

In Boys und Sensha-d�!, Miho, after being disowned, once refers to her mother as Shiho when talking about her. It's unclear whether this is intended to be an intentional display of disrespect, since not only does Miho only do so once, but while Miho's relationship with her mother is fairly troubled, Miho is said to have long wanted her mother's approval. | |

Steven Universe: Aspiring DJ Sour Cream has a somewhat strained relationship with his stepdad Yellowtail, who wants Sour Cream to follow in his footsteps and be a fisherman. Sour Cream even calls his dad by name a few times in "Drop Beat Dad", though after he helps salvage a rave that Sour Cream's biological father Marty bailed on, Sour Cream calls him "Yellowdad". As time goes on, Steven starts to view his deceased mother less as a beloved figure he wishes he could have known, and more as a overshadowing legacy whose role he has to fulfill. In "Steven vs. Amethyst", Steven refers to her as "Rose Quartz" instead of "Mom" as he usually does. |

While Batman clearly cares for his adopted wards as his sons, they rarely ever refer to him as their dad, prefering to call him "Bruce". It might be one part Bruce's emotional sterility and one part that those he takes in are still reeling from their own parental issues. This is part of what makes the climax of The LEGO Batman Movie work in that Bruce has finally opened up enough to allow Dick to call him "dad". | |

In the Game Grumps, Danny Sexbang has mentioned more than once that he calls his mom and dad by their first names (Debbie and Avi, respectively) and his grandmother "Mom". Unlike most examples, this has a rather innocuous reason: when he was learning how to talk as a toddler, he heard people around him calling his parents by their real names and his mom calling his grandmother "Mom", so he assumed that's what he was supposed to call them. His family have no problem with it, as once when someone caught Danny calling his mom by her first name and called it disrespectful, she nonchalantly said "It's just a name". | |

In Engage, most of Sombron's surviving children refer to their father by name, due to hating him for how he treated his children as expendable pawns, and thus no longer considering him a father. The only exceptions are both of Veyle's personalities- the former has some affection for her "Papa" despite wanting to stop him, while the latter is fanatically loyal to him- as well as Rafal on occasion. Additionally, Alear, the protagonist turns out to be Sombron's child, but continues calling Sombron by name after The Reveal, due to not considering Sombron to be a father. | |

In To Kill a Mockingbird, Scout and her brother address their father as 'Atticus', in stark contrast to Southern American culture, where children are expected to show a great deal of respect to their parents. It shows Atticus' generally egalitarian views (a key part of the main story) carry into how he deals with his own family as well. It could suggest the kids (who grew up without their mother) were not taught proper respect, but the kids are otherwise very respectful and well behaved and the familiarity doesn't bother Atticus at all. They refer to him as 'Sir' at times as well, which is more in-line with the culture, and shows that the power dynamic still exists in their relationship. | |

Justified in Dishonored because for most of Emily's childhood, she did not know Corvo was her father and had always referred to him by name even if he was a paternal figure in her life. Essentially the name "Corvo" was more or less the title "Dad" to Emily. Even when their relationship was officially revealed, Emily still called him by name. | |

The Good Place: As part of their carefree Floridian nature, Jason refers to his dad by his name Donkey Doug. This comes as a shock to his friends and the audience — he's been mentioning Donkey Doug ever since Season 1, but only reveals in Season 3 that they're actually related. Jason once tries calling him Donkey Dad during a father-son bonding moment, but the two of them decide it doesn't sound as nice. Doug explains in the last episode that he was only 18 when Jason was born and "he raised me as much as I raised him", so it's understandable their relationship is more like friends than father and son. | |

In Shameless (US), the Gallagher kids all refer to their father Frank and mother Monica by their given names as a way of showing their lack of respect and trust for their parents. It's justified by the fact that Frank is an utterly useless alcoholic and drug abusing layabout (on his best days) while Monica is immature to the point that she's frequently abandoned the kids to get up on whatever flight of fancy has caught her attention. The Milkovitch kids also do this to their father Terry, who is even worse than Frank in how he abuses his children. | |

One Piece Nami and Nojiko call their adoptive mother "Bellemere-san" ("Belle-mere" is French for "stepmother"). The two of them love her and consider her their mother, although Nami once upsets her by denying that they're "really" family during an argument. Sanji angrily calls his father, Vinsmoke Judge, by name before cutting ties with him. Since they'd been estranged for years and Judge had only returned to his son's life to force him into an Arranged Marriage for political gain, it's clear that there is no love lost between them. |

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are adopted by Splinter and consider him their father but refer to him as "Master Splinter" most of the time because he trains them to be ninja. Later adaptations tend to downplay this by having them sometimes call him "father" or "dad". In Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, they almost always call him "dad", which signifies how they respect him less than most versions (because he's both a Lazy Bum and an overprotective dad that refused to really train them for a long time) but also their closer bond compared to most incarnations (Splinter, for all his faults, does genuinely love the turtles, and they return it). | |

Despite Step by Step having a similar premise to The Brady Bunch, the kids of the family refer to their respective stepparents as Frank and Carol, perhaps partly due to their not getting married until after the series begins and partly due to their respective children knowing and disliking each other from prior encounters at school and objecting to everyone becoming one family. The kids bond enough to start treating each other as true siblings after a couple of years, but even so, the only one of the children who doesn't refer to either Frank or Carol by name is Lily, the daughter they eventually have together. | |

In Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Bill keeps accidentally calling his step mom Missy before correcting himself (though the first time she corrects him). In this case it's because Missy is only about three years older (she was a high school senior when Bill was a freshman), is his step-mother rather than his birth mother, and because he actually had the hots for her before she married his father. | |

In JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable, Josuke Higashikata, the protagonist of the Part, meets Joseph Joestar, who fathered him during an extramarital affair with Josuke's mother and only recently became aware that he had a son. Josuke insists on calling Joseph "Joestar-san" ("Mr. Joestar"), which is more respectful than most of these examples, but emphasizes that Josuke doesn't think of Joseph as his father. By the end of Diamond is Unbreakable, while he still doesn't calls him "dad", he affectionately calls Joseph "old man", and has clearly accepted him as his father. | |

Stranger Things: Jonathan Byers refers to his estranged deadbeat dad Lonnie Byers as "Lonnie". According to the official novel Rebel Robin, Robin used to refer to her Hippie Parents by their first names until she learned it wasn't common. In season 4, the Big Bad Lord Vecna refers to his father as "old, blind, dumb Victor" while revealing himself to Nancy. Given that Vecna is a psychopath who murdered his own mother and sister before framing up said father, it's hardly surprising. |

Cana of Fairy Tail for the most part refers to Gildarts by his given name, even though she spent a lot of the early part of the story trying to work up the courage to tell him that he was her father. Given her personality and the fact that once he learns the truth Gildarts turns into an Amazingly Embarrassing Parent who is constantly doting on her, it's not that surprising. During the Alvarez Empire arc, however, she does call him "Dad" when they're fighting together against August, and he seems on the verge of being killed trying to protect her, showing that she truly loves him as much as he loves her. | |

Earth's Children: After completing his manhood hunt Broud wastes no time asserting his new status by addressing his mother Ebra by name, instead of making the sign for "mother", and ordering her to bring him "a drink of water." It's not known if it's normal for Clan men to call their mothers by their names, but it fits in with Broud's arrogant nature that he should address Ebra in this way. Among both the Clan and the Others, it's normal to call the mate of one's mother (who may or may not be one's biological father) by his name. Justified as neither the Clan nor the Others have any concept of men "having children" until Ayla introduces the idea that the act of sex itself (not a man's totem spirit defeating a woman's totem spirit as believed by the Clan, or a man's spirit mingling with a woman's spirit as believed by the Others) is responsible for conception. As such, there is no word (or gesture in the case of the Clan) for "father" in the language of any tribe featured in the series, though one is introduced into the Zelandonii language following Ayla's revelation. |

In the first book of The Lost Years of Merlin, although Branwen (a.k.a. Queen Elen of Fincayra) assures the amnesiac young Emrys that she's his mother, he doesn't believe her and only calls her "Branwen" – he feels sure that the many secrets she keeps from him include his real parentage. But as it turns out, she's telling the truth, and when Emrys learns this he breaks down in Tears of Remorse for having never called her "Mother". | |

Threads: Ruth's daughter Jane (who is born around seven months after the nuclear war) calls her mother by her first name, though this is only shown when Ruth is on her deathbed. Jane, whose language skills are stunted like those of other kids born into the post-apocalyptic world, calls Ruth's name twice, then tries to get her to stir by saying "Work. Work. Work. Up!" However, once Ruth has actually died, Jane quietly withdraws. Why Jane doesn't call Ruth "Mum", or something to that effect, is not made clear, but it is implied to be because living in a world where they are surrounded by death has prevented them from forming the mother/daughter bond they might otherwise have formed. | |

Son of the Sannin: Haku never refers to his foster parents as anything other than "Hayate-san" and "Yugao-san". For that matter, he always calls Zabuza "Zabuza-sama", even long after it becomes clear to both of them that their relationship is far more than that of a master and servant. Shizune is treated as the eldest of Jiraya and Tsunade's children, though she only ever addresses them by name (or rank in the case of Jiraya after he becomes the fifth Hokage). The closest she gets for using familial terms with them is teasingly referring to Tsunade as her infant son's "grandma". Naruto has a brief slip into this in Chapter 99, implied to be out of respect for the ghosts of his biological parents. Minato and Kushina however are fine with him calling Jiraiya and Tsunade "Dad" and "Mom", since they were the ones to raise him. |

In Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Superman isn't shown to do this regularly, but he does happen to do so once, right before Batman kills him, and his plea to 'save Martha' just so happens to echo Thomas Wayne's last words, deeply resonating with Bruce, who them spares Superman. Good thing Supes happened to say that instead of the much more realistic and in-character request to 'save my mom'... | |

Played with in The Powerpuff Girls. The titular girls almost always refer to Professor Utonium by his title of "Professor" or "the Professor". It's not a sign of any disrespect, but more that they're not a "completely normal" family, as the Professor is a scientist who accidentally created the girls in his lab. If anything, their relationship is quite positive. | |

Bloom Into You has a sibling variation, in which Yuu calls her older sister Rei "Rei-chan," although she corrects herself and refers to her as "my sister" when talking about her with Touko. The sisters get along, even though Rei often gets on Yuu's nerves. | |

Outlander: Brianna doesn't learn the truth of her paternity until she is adult. She initially calls her biological father by his first name, Jamie. But as the two grow more accustom to each other, she switches to calling him Da. However, when Jamie makes a huge mistake that makes Brianna feel he has violated her trust in him, she switches back to calling him Jamie, insisting her real father (Frank, the man who raised her) would have never done what Jamie did. When William learns the truth of his paternity, he doesn't feel it is right to continue calling the man who raised him "Papa" and mentally refers to him by his proper society title, Lord John. Understanding, his stepson's upset, Lord John takes this in stride, but knows something must have gone terribly wrong when William shows up unexpectedly, calling him "Papa" once again. Invoked in a conversation between Jamie and Roger. Roger mentions meeting Brian Fraser, Jamie's father. Jamie retorts that he knows his own father's name. Roger asks if Jamie ever called his father by his first name. Surprised, Jamie asks if that's something people do in the century in which Roger was born. Roger says no, but he considered Reverend Wakefield as his father. Having not been raised with his biological father but aware of who the man was, Roger has only ever thought of him by his first name. |

Satsuki from Kill la Kill refers to her mother by her name, several times even on a Full-Name Basis. Her mother is physically, emotionally, and sexually abusive, along with being the Big Bad of the series. They have no familial bond and Satsuki literally backstabs her. The same goes for Ryuko, who finds out that Ragyo is her mother after learning of the full extent of Ragyo's crimes. Ryuko refers to Ragyo by name except for two points- when she's brainwashed into being Ragyo's slave and when she offers Ragyo a Last-Second Chance after defeating her. | |

Her father knows something is wrong when she calls Gerard "grandpa". Malia calls her father Peter Hale by name. This is understandable since he's a notorious villain. |

In Warrior Cats, it's usually only young kits that might call their parent "Mama" or something to that effect. It's most common for characters to call their parents by their actual name, so it stands out and really emphasizes the family bond when they don't call them by their name. For instance, in Dawn, when a tree falls on Firestar, Squirrelpaw first cries his name, and then yowls "Father!". | |

There's a couple of isolated incidents in The Legend of Korra where Tenzin and Bumi refer to their father as 'Aang' and not 'Dad.' Given the context of the scenes (Tenzin is encouraging Avatar Korra by explaining that Aang also had trouble learning a particular type of bending due to it being the opposite of his personality and Bumi is angrily telling Tenzin that he'd be willing to carry on Aang's legacy too), it seems to be a conscious decision to separate Avatar Aang, the historical and political figure, from 'Dad,' the guy that was just their dad. When they're talking "to" him, they both address him as 'Dad.' Suyin does the same when she explains to Korra that Toph was a pretty hands-off mother, and Iroh also refers to his mother as "The Fire Lord" when he's telling Korra to seek her help. | |

Once Upon a Time: Emma doesn't believe Mary Margaret and David are her parents for the entire first season, and it's not until the end of season 3 that she actually feels comfortable calling them Mom and Dad. Unsurprising, since thanks to the Dark Curse freezing time in Storybrooke for 28 years, they're the same biological age as she. Henry initially calls his biological mother Emma by her first name (at Emma's request) since he didn't meet her until age 10, and Emma initially doesn't want to step on his adoptive mother's toes or claim custody of Henry. He then switches between "Emma" and "Mom" for a while before finally settling on "Mom." He also sometimes refers to his adoptive mother as "Regina" when he's angry at her. By Season 4, he's happily calling them both "Mom." |

All throughout Hey Arnold!, Helga almost always refers to her parents by their first names — Bob and Miriam — as they often neglect her, and as such, she has little respect or emotional attachment to them; any instances where she does refer to them as "Dad" or "Mom' are incredibly rare. The times she does call her parents "Dad" or "Mom" are often times when her parents show care for her or show a skill, as a sign that she recognizes/respects it. | |

In Stellvia of the Universe, Shima Katase only ever refers to her mother as "Chi-chan", indicating that there may be quite a bit of intergenerational rivalry going on. While it's never elaborated upon (it's not even clear whether Chi-chan is Shima's birth mother, or her father remarried), Shima's mom is a textbook example of a self-made woman, and Shima strives to be even more so, going as far as to effectively run away from home to enroll in a space university without telling her. | |

Gerome in Awakening has a tendency to do this, as he had preferred being a lone wolf and wanted to avoid too much contact with his parents, who died in his time. In the scene in which Lucina reunites with her father in Chapter 12, shortly after her conversation with Chrom, her mother- The Female Avatar, Sumia, Maribelle, Sully or Olivia- will join her, initially not recognizing Lucina as her daughter. Lucina initially addresses Sumia and Sully by name (and uses "Milady" on the Female Avatar, Maribelle or Olivia), unsure of how they'd take being called "Mother", until her mother insists it's perfectly fine. After this point, Lucina exclusively uses "Mother" on her mother unless the Female Avatar is her mother, in which case, Lucina once says, "I am sorry, Avatar!" when threatening to kill her to save Chrom's life. |

Family Guy: The show has Stewie referring to his mother as "Lois". In earlier seasons, this was a sign of his Enfante Terrible nature and disdain for his mother. Ironically, he hates Peter less, but calls him by the even more insulting "fat man". When his adult self does call them "mom and dad" he immediately and violently 'corrects' himself with "It's Lois and the fat man!" In "Don't Make Me Over", it's a sign of her Acquired Situational Narcissism when Meg starts calling her mom "Lois". |

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt: Ciri always calls Geralt and Yennefer, her foster parents, by their names when speaking to them. Considering that Ciri had a tumultuous childhood with about a dozen parental figures, this is understandable. However, when speaking to others when they're not around, she always calls Geralt her father. In fact, she does it so much that the people of Velen seem to be under the impression that she is Geralt's biological daughter, even though this is impossible (witchers are sterile). Geralt himself calls his mother Visenna by her name during their brief encounter in both Sword of Destiny and The Witcher (2019). In his case, it's implied that he resents her for abandonning him. |

Dragon Ball Z: Trunks would often call Vegeta by his first name, which is both due to not wanting to reveal to Vegeta that he’s his son from the future, and perhaps due to holding no respect for his father. After the two got closer and Trunks no longer had to keep things a secret, he begins calling Vegeta "father". | |

In Sword Art Online, Yui, an Artificial Intelligence who becomes Kirito and Asuna's daughter, does this with her parents after getting her memories back. It's partly because she's realized she is an artificial construct, and partly to show that she's gotten over her speech impediment that left her unable to properly pronounce their names. | |

The Running Grave: In the rare letters that Will Edensor, who has joined a cult, writes to his parents, he addresses them as "Colin and Sally." It is later revealed that everyone in the cult does this, referring to family members by names and never using family words like "father" or "mother". This is a tool the UHC uses to undermine and destroy the family ties of its members, so that they are only loyal to the cult. | |

Interview with the Vampire (2022): Starting from the final scene of "A Vile Hunger for Your Hammering Heart", Claudia addresses Louis only by his given name instead of "Daddy Lou" because she wants to be treated like his sister (and they are technically vampire siblings because Lestat is their maker) instead of his daughter. However, it's Zig-Zagged when she interacts with Lestat because she switches between using his name and "Uncle Les." | |

Moira in Resident Evil: Revelations 2 calls her father, Barry, by name due to their very strained relationship that stemmed from an accident when Moira was a little girl. She and her sister Polly gotten access to Barry's gun cabinet because he forgot to lock it up. Moira was playing with one of Barry's guns and accidentally shot Polly. Barry blamed Moira for the accident, which caused her to grow resentful towards him and she grows irritated if anyone mentions her father to her. By the end of the story, the two make up and Moira starts calling Barry dad again. | |

In the movie of State of the Union, Kay Thorndyke calls her dying father "Sam". Not that she doesn't care about him—she breaks down weeping after he kills himself. Calling him by his first name helps to emphasize the businesslike nature of their relationship; Mr. Thorndyke is a newspaper magnate and political kingmaker and Kay is his hard-as-nails heir. | |

In the OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes episode "Big Reveal", when K.O. learns the identity of his father, Laserblast (whom he believes to be dead), he initially refers to him as "my daddy". Then he learns that Laserblast is actually still alive, and now living under the identity of Professor Venomous, a villain who's acted as K.O.'s enemy in prior episodes. After this, he still refers to him as "my dad" occasionally when speaking to others or in his own inner thoughts, but when directly addressing him, always continues to call him "Professor Venomous" or just "Professor", showing that, in spite of his efforts to form a relationship with him, K.O. is still very wary of and not completely comfortable around him. | |

Deadpool has this with both of his daughters. Ellie used to refer to him as "Dad" or "Daddy", during volume 3, and early volume 4 of the series. Then issues 17, she starts calling him "Wade", saying that her therapist told her that she shouldn't consider him a father-figure. She does go back to calling him Dad, given the recent chapter 32 of volume 4. But 2099 shows she eventually goes back to just referring to him by name, which he protests to no avail. She didn't meet Deadpool until she was around 8. Then even after that, she was Happily Adopted by a friend of Deadpool. Warda has deep issues with Wade, feeling that he favored and loved Ellie over her. She also hated inheriting his legacy which was the healing factor, with repulsive face scarring. | |
