Both Doug & I call our parents-in-law by their first names and have 
ever since we started dating 14 years ago.  At first, it was Mr and 
Mrs Lastname, but that only lasted long enough for the respective 
parents to request first names.  Well, actually, no one called my Dad 
by his first name except for his parents.  He was Brownie to 
*everyone*.  

As for what I call my parents, it's always been Mum & Dad (or Daddy). 
The only time I *ever* called my mum by her given name was when I 
wanted her attention in a crowd. Believe me, I got it. ;) 

 Peace & Plenty,
