I went with Mom and Dad. I figured that we are forever going to be mom and dad so our first names were out. I nixed Mommy and Daddy since as the kids get older they won't be calling us mommy and daddy anymore but mom and dad instead.
I ordered ours all without names because I couldn't decide what to put on them and figured I could monogram them later. Two years later, they are still nameless :-)
I was between putting our real names on them vs mom and dad. I was leaning toward using all real names though.
I think we have mommy and daddy stockings. MH ordered them without me knowing as a surprise for our 1st xmas as a family with dd. I also have a stocking with my name on it from when I was growing up. My parents still use their stockings with mom and dad on it and honestly I don't see a big deal with it.
ours say mom and dad. My mom made them for us. our stockings for their house have our first names on them, but at our house it's mom, dad, stella and rowan. growing up my brother and I had our names and my parents' said mom and dad. Seemed natural to me.
Re: mom/dad or mommy/daddy on stocking?
I just had this dilemma 2 days ago.

I am no help ;-)
