When I got married to my 2nd husband (now ex) my boys were 5 and 2. They called him by his first name. Their natural father came to visit 'when he felt like it' and would disappear for months and months at a time. I never encouraged my kids one way or the other. After two or three years they would call him dad some of the time and by his name some of the time. I also noticed that when referring to their natural father it would be dad some of the time and his name some of the time. I always..*always* referred to them both by their first names and left it to them whether they called one or the other dad.
