Papa?

[SolarPriestess]

Just a quick poll, does anyone else call their daddy "papa?"

 

My caregiver is non-binary, but when she's feeling masculine, or "daddy-ish" I don't usually call her "daddy" like most littles do...I usually adhere to "papa."

Does anyone else do this? Or is a primarily "daddy" dominated (lol) community?

 

Thanks (:

i think for americans daddy comes more natural.... but for people from other countries/languages other words are more natural

i personally don't care about what word is used but more about the meaning of the word and the status of the word

 

and as a german native speaker i was called Papa

As a German native speaker I agree with AGentleman.

Ok interesting, interesting. Well I'm from America, been here all my life, and I grew up calling my dad "papa." He grew up in America all his life too, as did his parents, so I guess maybe it's just a quirk of my family/myself. Never considered it as a "dialect via location" thing, but that puts a new perspective on it now, too!

 

Thanks for the input, friends (:

With my ex she would call me papa more often and only daddy when we were playing those games. So papa isn't uncommon at least not for me.

I'm a French speaker and so is daddy and I call him either daddy or dada I don't wanna call him "papa" cause that's the way I call my actual dad

Thanks for the input guys, really! It's interesting to hear where people fall on the spectrum, and I hadn't thought of "dada" before, but it seems so obvious, haha! (:
