Alternative names to "Mummy"

Just interested really as I'm currently expecting my first. I guess an awful lot of UK mothers are known to their DC as "mummy" usually switching to "mum" as they get older. I'm interested in any UK mothers out there for whom this is not the case - so who either chose or ended up with an alternative name? Eg I know a mum whose DC call her "mama".
