What other names other than mom #2 can my children use for their Dad? My partner is trans, so we are same-sex parents. They currently call her Dad, but I’d love to have another term other than mom/ma.

I mean I called my step dad by his name and he mean just the same as my dad to me and walked me down the aisle so I don’t see why your spouse would have to be called dad or mom #2

Are the kids aware that your spouse is transgender … I would let them say what they are comfortable with because the nick names the kids in my family give people are hilarious 
I’d sit ur partner and the kids down and figure out what works for everyone

Mom, mommy, memmaw( the southern version) I always thought it was cute!!!
Ask them what they would like to be called, and get the kids to call them that? That’s something to talk to them about, and have a discussion, and I’d sit the kids down to and answer any questions they may have in a simple way.
I mean when I was a teenager I thought it was funny to just call my parents, parent.

You should all sit together and talk about what feels right. Maybe just their name or something like Mimi, mama, Dom, Didi. I do think the family would be better at figuring out what sounds better

First name! Or maybe a Nick bake they can make up themselves
My daughter’s husband is Norma and their children call Norma “daddy”. Very simple. And I call Norma “daughter in law”. She is priceless.

Whatever comes to them naturally and whatever she’s comfortable with
I like the Didi suggestion. Like Daddy, but more feminine.

Well I’d assume, since they are trans they go by he/him so I’d also assume he wouldn’t want to be called anything similar to mom, since that is feminine
How old are the kids? If they are like 2 or 3 it’s going to be tough to get them to call her a new name. Best you may be able to do is da instead of dad. Older you can do like mum or something like that to differentiate from mom

This is the most confusing shit I’ve ever seen I thought you have to use the right pronouns for trans people & she’s saying her but the kids call her dad ? Wtf
How about mommy plus her name? My boys call their bonus mom Bri Mommy
So question… Are you trying to make the kids forget that’s actually their dad? Would a male name be off limits? How about mom-dad? It has a ring to it but idk if people get offended or whatever

Did you ever think of…DAD? because HE has a PENIS?
Could you have one as mum and the other as mummy? Xx
If you go by mom, maybe mama, mum, or something similar but also different. Maybe look up mom in another language?

Depending on their age ask them. Also ask her what she’d like them to call her
Ask her and the kids what they would like to call her instead of dad. It can be as simple as momma or something that you make up together and it will be all that much more special for everyone.

Or make a cute nickname out of her name
I would settle on a nickname and leave it at that.
My cousin has a mammy and a mummy. Which as he’s getting older is becoming mum and mam. I think it’s rather cute they call her dad. I quite like the idea of looking for mother in another language too. I think some people here may have missed the point of the question, the way I read it is that they had had this baby together so therefore are equally the parents.

Much love for you continuing to support your partner through the transition. You might be better just sitting down with her and your children and brainstorm. Is their other parent comfortable remaining ‘dad’ or would she rather adjust her title to her gender?

I’m gonna assume they were born male and then Trans to a women that’s how I’m getting it. One call u mom and the other one ma that’s how my friend does it although is momma for for and mom for the other
I’d go with whatever term has been used.
It doesn’t change anything
Pops? Pappy? I personally have a step dad and my bio dad so I had a daddy and dad. I had a friend who called one mom mommy and the other honey. My kids call their step mom baby.

I know a same sex couple that one is called mommy and the other is dommy (dom me) it works for them.
So i know thia might not matter but is your partner their bio parent. And how old are your kids. Because it may be something thats hard for them to understand if she did the change after they were born

Are they changing to make or female, I’m confused. If you female, they could do Mama, Momma, Mimi, Ma, Mother…
My coworkers kids grew up with their aunt as their “mom” for 3/4 of their lives so they call their actual mom Nani

Is your partner comfortable with being called dad ? Maybe it can stay like that. Or ask the kids what they’d like to call her
A trans man or trans women? If trans man i think dad is good. Trans women, hmmm maybe something cute with her name. Like mama so and so or something cute that is still parental.
Ask the kids to think of wha they would like to call her. If they pick it that makes it so much more sentimental

Is there a name your partner prefers? Mumma, ma, mother, mema Mimi, maybe a nick name thats cute. I don’t know if maybe there is a transgender parent page on Facebook that might be helpful. My second child is transgender and I’ve found a page that is super helpful.
I love when the kids on 911 call their moms “mama Henny and Mama so-n-so (can’t remember her name).
If it were me I would come up with something clever like the word for mom in some other language.
