 * '''Pamma.''' Neutral, informal, nonstandard. Pamma is a combination of mamma (mom) and pappa (dad). This provides and alternative that is both similar to and retain the comfortable factor that children otherwise associate with the parental words mamma and pappa.
 * '''Wawa.''' Neutral, informal, nonstandard. Wawa is pronounced with "English w:s". Wawa is similar to mamma (mom) and pappa (dad) in that it consists of repetitive phonemes that are physically easy for smaller children to pronounce. Wawa is a good addition among the Swedish parental words as it provides a completely gender-neutral alternative with similarities of mamma and pappa that do not have an origin in the gender binary.
-* '''Other alternatives include:''' mapa, pama, mapi/mappi, babi, baba/babba, dada, momma, momo. The neutrality of these words might vary between what the words generally are associated with and what oneself percieves it as.
