What do you call your relatives?

[D'Snowth]

I'm from Tennessee born and lived here 99% of my life....we say "Ant"

We sure do, don't we?

I have a friend though who would say "Ont", but then again, he was African-American, and I noticed alot of African-Americans say "Ont" instead of "Ant". Like Lamont on Sanford and Son calls Esther "Ont" Esther.

 

[Muppet Newsgirl]

I usually say Ant, but sometimes I say Ont. Ont's more common in New England.

Here's mine:

Mother: Mom
Father: Dad
Brother: Chris, or 'Bro'
Grandmother: Grandma or Gran
Uncles: Uncle (insert name here)
Aunts: Aunt (insert name here)
Cousins: (insert name here)
The Dogs: We've got two, a black lab/German Shepherd mix named Toby and a German shorthaired pointer named Marta. I either call them by their real names, or refer to them as the animals, the beasts, the mongrels, the mutt-lets...you get the idea.

What have I been called? In my family (both nuclear and extended), you respond to whatever's called in your general direction. That's the way it was with my mom and her brothers (all 5 of them), and my grandmother continues it with us the grandkids.
My folks usually call me Erin, but Mom often calls me E-Miss and Dad sometimes calls me Erin Michelle (Michelle being my middle name and all that).

Mother: Mum
Father: Dad
Grandmother: One side is Grandma, the other side is Granny

Definately say Ant.

[Ilikemuppets]

I'm from Tennessee, and I have always said Aunt. I'm also African American, which also might explain it.

 

[Katzi428]

Mother-Mom ("Mommy" when I was a kid...what little kid doesn't,right?)
Father(when he was alive)- Dad or Daddy
My siblings-by their first names
Grandmothers-my father's mother was "Pahkah"(my older brother was the 1st grandchild & couldn't say "Grandma" so it was "Pahkah") my mother's mother was "Nana"
Grandfather-my father's father was "Pop-Pop" ,my mother's father passed away when my mom was 4 so I never knew him
What everyone calls me:Kath (or Kathleen when I'm in trouble! ) Dad used to call me "Kathy-Button Nose" when I was little. My grandfather used to call me "Katzi" sometimes
And I pronounce "Aunt" like the little black insect
