In Spain we usually call our sisters by name. However, children use "tata" to refer to their sisters.

@Rebe29 do the children use tata to call the sisters like "tata!" or do they also use it as a replacement for hermana when speaking like for example "mi tata quiere comer algo"? @Rebe29 do the children use tata to call the sisters like "tata!" or do they also use it as a replacement for hermana when speaking like for example "mi tata quiere comer algo"?

If we're talking to them, we use their name. If we're talking about them, we say "mi hermana" (my sister). If it's a little sister and it's an informal conversation, you can say "mi hermanita", which is cuter.
