Let your partner & kids find something. If there isn’t anything agreeable, calling them by their name is fine.
Ask the kids and your partner… Let them come up with a name everyone likes

In Urdu it’s “Ammee”… kind of sounds like mommy, but different enough to be special.

That is a big change especially for children. They’ve been using the term dad for how long now and then have to switch it up. I’d let them do whatever is comfortable to them and leave it at that until they possibly make the decision to change the term they currently use

Mama (insert name here)
Is your partner their biological parent? If so, what does your partner wish to be called?
Try a suitable nick name both sexes can use, like Sam or Bobbi. Don’t complicate yet transition for the kids.
Mapa? A mix of Mama and papa? I got that from a fan-fiction story,
Those poor kids are going to end up having long term therapy with that confusion in that home …I feel sorry for those kids

Well I guess you’re more interested in accommodating your partner than asking your children what they are comfortable with so I think they should call your partner mom and you by your first name. Also, they will grow up learning that love looks like sacrificing their own needs to accommodate their future partners needs so good luck with the teen years.

If your kids feel comfortable with calling your partner dad then I would let them, it’s not only your partners transition and have to think of the psychological effects of your kids during all of this.

Talk to your partner and kids and talk as a family, discuss it, and don’t be afraid to try something for a while and change it if need be. This is a time for adjustments for all of you so just openly communicate and be as understanding as you can with everyone

Well my son doesn’t call me mom or mommy/mama lol he either calls me baba or boppy, I even got a shirt that says the best baba ever in pink writing so I know it’s a thing and I thought I was one of the only ones to be called that until I heard another little boy call his mom baba. So I was like 
another baba! Finallyyyy lol, but in actual reality baba actually means father, grandfather, wise old man etc 
so hope that helps.Editing to say: others have said it means grandma and mom too! So the more you know! I’m actually really happy to know this haha it’s great

I love the idea of letting kiddos call us what they come up with I was trying to figure out before I became a grandma what I wanted to be called cause I felt like grandma sounded so old lol and before I knew it my grand kiddos had decided for themselves 
my granddaughter she’s three and spends a lot of her days with me so she started calling me MOMMER I absolutely adore it and now my kids and others have started calling me by mommer as well 
then my grandson he is five and I see him on the weekends and he just chooses to call me grandma and I adore that as well I think it’s way more special when we let them decide what they call us because kids can really surprise us and come up with the most adoring names for the people they love and that makes it super special in my opinion

I’d just let them call her what they feel comfortable with calling her. I recognize that she has her own journey but, so do the children. Transitioning affects everyone involved. It’s a touchy subject… I personally would leave it alone and let the children have some normalcy and comfortability. Who knows, they may get to a stage where they want to figure out a name together.

How does your partner want to be addressed? What does their relationship look like? I wouldn’t expect them to transition to a name similar to mom immediately if they have been using dad. Maybe a term of endearment that doesn’t reflect gender would work.

My buddy or even by their name. My son calls my husband (who’s not his biological father) Terry or mate. Perhaps even a nickname might work.
Welp, if was born male , they call him he, sir, if they want to, dad. But if she’s born a female, she, her, mam ,miss,and if they want to, mom. Dont confuse the children into making them feel like they have to say one or the other. Maybe let them choose

Ask them and her what feels right for them. That’s whet we did when my bonus kids were trying to navigate this topic.
Honestly there are lots of variations on “mother”. Mom, mommy, ma, mama, mother, Mama(insert name here) and then of course other languages too.
So what I’m getting from other comments is that this is their biological father. Have they expressed they don’t want to be called dad anymore? And if so I would probably start looking at other languages for mom. Or make up a name. We all used to call my grandma Nami and it came from one of the kids not being able to say grandma.

Pick a special nick name that only the kids can call your partner. Get them to come up with it. Something that has a special meaning to just them that they associate with her.

Bobci is mom in polish. My great grandmother was polish . I thought it was her name growing up but it meant mom
What do the kids want to call her? What does she want to be called? If she is the kids’ biological parent/they’ve been calling her “Dad” for a long time, it may be best to think of something close to that. The transition would be hard on the children (not that it’s not hard on you and your partner), so I would do whatever the kids want, at least until everyone gets more used to everything
Star would be a good one. It doesn’t have to be the traditional mom related name unless that’s what she wanted!

If the kids have always called and known him as dad I can’t imagine the conversations that have to take place to convince them/ train them to now see “dad” as a completely different type of human. Are theses dad’s biological kids? And what ages are they? I mean swapping out a dad for 2 mom’s has got to be a rough situation in the middle of an already established family dynamic. I guess just keeping in mind the kids come first and their comfortability takes precedence over everything else should be a good guide to go by.

My daughter started calling me now husband DD all on her own. She coukd always try calling your partner Dee or Em.

Make up a pet name. Something cute, or Sassy, sporty or funny. So long as it’s respectful and all agree on it.
My granddaughter changes what she calls me regularly. It use to be Nannie or NaN, then as she’s getting older it’s been Nannie plumb, gangster Gran, or Gramma.
Usually and mostly it’s NaN. I love whatever she calls me so long as it’s not disrespectful.
