Good question, wish I had a good answer.
I honestly don't recall. I imagine things like dear, honey, etc.
This was in the '50s.
I always called my mother "mother". Well, except for one time when I was
around 11 and called her by her name, Hilda. Quickly learned to not do that
again. :)
My father was "Doc". He was a GP and what everyone called him, including
family members. My mother called him that when referring to him by name.
When talking to me and referring to the other it was Mother and Father,
"ask your Mother/Father..."
My brother was always Charles, through his friends called him Mack, short
for Mackey.
My sister Mary was always called Sissy, even by her friends.
But heaven help you if you where called by all three names! "William
Joseph Mackey, you come here right now!" Or my brother (12 years older than I
from mother first marriage): "Charles Wiley Fontaine Mackey, come here!"
My sister, from my fathers first marriage, but only 10 years younger than
my mother.
Joe
