Dad, daddy, and by my name, which I find to be hilarious because it’s largely considered to be disrespectful lol.

I like your strategy. We're a Stone Cold Stunner family over here but different strokes for different folks.

Most of the it's just Dad or Daddy but when he's feeling silly he uses some nicknames we made up for each other.

I'm the wife, husband doesn't use reddit.
Our child is 5. It's Dad, Dada, Daddy, or Father Bear.
Occasionally his first name, if she hears other people using it. I think it's hilarious. He doesn't like it.

All 3 of my teenagers call me Dad, but a friend of mine with 3 teenagers all call him by his first name and always have. It always cracks me up.

I called my dad by his first name for over 15 years. (Young when parents divorced, visited on weekends scenario). Step dad also by his first name. In my early 20s, i saw how painful that was to my father and corrected myself to calling him dad.
Im in the same situation now with my son, and im so happy he didnt do that same thing. Im Dad to him. He shortened it from daddy when he was around 8.
