    My significant other is bigender. What could our future children call them, instead of "mom" or "dad"?

    Fom (father + mom)
    Parry (like "parent" but with a more "mommy/daddy" feel)
    Baba
    Cenn (short for Old English cennend, a neutral term for parent)

    There's a good list on this article:
    Gender Neutral Language (Wikipedia)

    For pronouns, one that I like is "hen" which has actually been officially adopted in Sweden as a gender neutral pronoun. However, that is obviously a personal choice and up to them entirely.

    I've heard kids calling their biological father "Maddy"

    Personally, I started calling my parents by their names when I was in grade school, and I think it's done great things for our relationship.

    I'm glad I came across this because my partner is genderfluid and we actually have tried to figure out what they would be called as a parent

    I've seen many kids that call their parents by their first names. That could always be an option...
