 * '''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.
