the greatest love and most personal name one can call their mum is the special direct connection name God has given for one's mum which is mum and in Islam it is actually considered disrespect to call parents by their names!; you wouldn't find a muslim calling their mum, 'hi jane how ya doin', but they'd say, hi mommy I love u!
about introducing to finance, one should be more respectful to mommy dear and not call her by her name; she is not your friend you know, nor the neighbour next door; she is your specially respected and loved mummy and this loving name never replaces any other so apart from official forms and stuff where one has to identify the name; every other time is the special name we always use!
not only for mother but to siblings too; we dont call them by their name but by special family connection names; it extends to elderly muslims too that are not related in lots of muslim cultures; once a policeman stopped us and asked us our names; then the police ased me and my mates what the drivers name was; we had known the driver for weeks and he was our boss [we were his employees!] but we just used to call him 'baysab' [this is a term that will be translated into English as an endearing term like 'sir brother' with a loving element in it too] and all we can say to the police that we just know him as 'brother'; the police thought we were hiding something!
In Arab cultures muslims are known by their fathers name, but as Jesus [as] did not have a father he was known as Isa Ibn [son of] Maryum
ofcourse if someone wants to respectfully know our mothers name for a good reason we'd tell them
