my favorite word for vagina is...

 
"Bits" (because it's non-gendered, informal, and in ordinary use here (New Zealand)). "Girly-bits" is a slightly ironic yet fond way of distinguishing female from male if necessary.

 
when talking with my friends, I call a vagina a...

  I'd call the vagina "my vagina" or "the birth canal" depending on why I was talking about it, but I'm much more likely to be talking about my cervix to friends (poor thing, it's not been well). I call the whole lot "my bits" when talking to friends, though I intend to start saying "my vulva" for variety and so my daughters know that I know the word.

 
when having sex, I call a vagina a...

  I don't use words during sex, when I let go words are that which I let go.

 
when I was little, my mother called a vagina a...

  Botty. Apparently I chose this when very small, my parents used "bottom" for the rear and it is suspected that I figured the front was smaller and thus deserved a diminutive.

 
when I (or if I were to) talk to my daughter about her vagina, I (would) call it a...

  I usually call my daughters' vulvas their "bits", but I try to let them know that 'vulva' is the formal word for all the exterior bits, and that I know a lot of words for bits and that if they use a word that I don't know, I'll just ask, as for any other word.

 
this conversation makes me think...

  No shame, no shock, just communication.
