Father is the most formal name we use for dad.
I think Daddy is more personal name to use.
Of course there are other names that some people use for their dad but most of them are not appropriate to put in this post.
Father’s Day is always celebrated the 3rd Sunday in June. Father’s Day was founded in 1910. It became a permanent national holiday when President Richard Nixson signed it into law in 1972.
Check out the Acronym for the word “Father” I wrote.
So what do you call your dad? Is there a name I didn’t use and should add to the list. Please leave your comments.
I even have one for Names for Mom too you can download and print out.
