Brief Answer:
Autism needs to be ruled out
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. It is very unusual for a child not to call papa-mama at this age. The lack of proper eye contact is also concerning. I would insist you to try MCHAT screening:

Based on the results you should get in touch with a developmental pediatrician who can evaluate the matter further.
I would insist you not to ignore it.
