    Re: How do you spell Momma/Mama?

    from dictionary.com for Momma:

    momma.
    ma·ma or mam·ma also mom·ma

    1. (also m-mä) Informal. Mother.
    2. Slang.
    1. A woman.
    2. A wife.


    [Of baby-talk origin. See m-2 in Indo-European Roots.]
    .

    mom·ma ( P ) Pronunciation Key (mäm)
    n.

    Variant of mama.



    momma

    n : informal terms for a mother [syn: ma, mama, mamma, mom, mommy, mammy, mum, mummy, mater]

    The spelling Mama is hardly found, seems to prefer Mamma over Mama ...................

    bottom line - they are both right and acceptable ...

    Re: How do you spell Momma/Mama?

    Being a child in the south it was always mama. I have lived in PA for about 21 years now and my kids called me mom. My daughter did start calling me mommy for a while but now it is usually mom. Sometimes though she will still call me mommy and she is almost 22 year old.

    Being originally from the north, I called mine Mom. But here in the south it seems Mama is the preference.

    same here JewRican-south (la & ms)it's mama and yes mam --some laugh at me casue i still say yes mam but hey i remember those "looks" i used to get when i did/said sometging wrong
    i am nothing special;of this i am sure. i am a common man with common thoughts; and i have led a common life. there are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten,but i've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has slways been enough--nicholas sparks
