Aw, I love this movie, did you see part two? He named her Moonchild after his mother, right? Right.

In Michael Ende's most well-known novel, Bastian Balthazar Bux is a lonely, overweight boy whose mother is dead and whose father is so wrapped in grief he barely acknowledges Bastian's existence. Bastian's only relief from his father's neglect and his schoolmate's taunts are books. One rainy day he comes across a book called "The Neverending Story" while browsing in a bookstore. The curmudgeonly owner refuses to sell the book and Bastian steals it when his back is turned. Without knowing why he felt compelled to do such a thing, Bastian skips class, settles himself into his school's forboding attic, and begins to read. Before long he realizes that "The Neverending Story" lives up to its name and he is physically drawn inside the book's wonderful tale of a dying land called Fantasia with its mythical creatures and soaring cities. Once there Bastian finds himself on a quest to save both Fantasia and himself with the aid of a few of the world's strange inhabitants. The overall theme of the book is the healing power of imagination, as represented by the way in which the world of Fantastica and the real world are presented as each vital to the other's survival. Each half of the book can also be viewed as an example of the Hero's Journey story outline. For a complete plot spoiler, see link below... it said that Bastian called out a "name" inyo the night, but was it really "Moonchild"????, i can't remember. I was still so young when this movie was shown in theaters...

From imdb.com
The Childlike Empress: Bastian. Why don't you do what you dream, Bastian?
Bastian: But I can't, I have to keep my feet on the ground!
The Childlike Empress: Call my name.Bastian! Please! Save us!
Bastian: All right! I'll do it! I'll save you! I will do what I dream!
[Climbs to the window and yells out in the storm]
Bastian: MOONCHILD!

OMG
I've tried to figure this out so many times. My sister and would rewind our VHS over and over again to try and figure it out. Sadly, I do not have an answer. It always sounded like Mariah or something with an "ah" at the end.
I'll be watchin this question...
