I know I am not actually living in the situation but I babysit for a woman who just recently got remarried. She calls her biological dad "Daddy." Her Mom's new man she calls "Daddy Kurt" (name changed). I think if anything were to happen a couple years down the road she would have spent some formative years (she will be 3 soon) with this new man and formed an attachement. She's already become quite attached to him and welcomes him as happily as she welcomes her birth dad whoever's turn it is to pick her up. There's nothing wrong with her calling him "Daddy Kurt." It doesn't deny who her birth dad is and also acknowledges that he has a part in raising her. JMHO
