My parents prefer I call them by their real names, is that weird?

I was discussing it with a friend earlier who said his mom is the same way. My parents actually prefer that I call them by their first names and I have since I was growing up. They said using mom and dad didn't make sense to them because they don't just call me daughter.

@LaurenRae It comes off weird to outsiders, I've gotten so used to it that I sometimes forget how it sounds to others lol. I've gotten a pass from them to call them by their names though.
