マミー, ママ; 母ちゃん, お母ちゃん, 母さん, お母さん


Explanation:
マミー (mamii)
ママ (mama)
母ちゃん (kaachan)
お母ちゃん (o-kaachan)
母さん (kaasan)
お母さん (o-kaasan)

Considering your other quesions, I presume that you're asking the word for "mother", and the spelling should be "mommy", not "mummy". The first two are more westernized answers, and, if you're looking for more Japanese-like ways of saying "mommy", it would be "母ちゃん" (kaa-chan) or "お母ちゃん" (o-kaa-chan). Alternatively, "母さん" (kaasan) or "お母さん" (o-kaasan) will also works fine.
