Well, yeah, but like... [Henry takes a moment to think about this.] You're supposed to give someone a name that's only theirs. It's like part of their identity. So by calling her 'Mama', you're basically saying that she doesn't have her own identity -- the only thing important about her is her relationship to her kid.

And that probably doesn't feel very good, for her.
