Edit: If I were at Nick developing this, I'd say that "mummy" & "mommy" (or "mummy" for half the English speaking world) was OK as a pun, but it might prevent the audience from relating to the character if her face was so covered. (Unless you were pitching it to Nick UAE, that's another story.) I would just assume it was a Nickelodeon cartoon I never heard of.
