[quote=Anonymous]As PPs have said, your DC is not going to be confused about who his/her "real" mommy is. And I grew up in the South, so I knew a lot of memaws, maw was and this like, so I don't see a huge deal.  My MIL chose a very unusual name to be called by my DCs.  I hate it and think it is in poor taste.  But, it was important to her, and I was just not willing to draw that particular line in the sand-- because there were other, more consequential lines on substantive child rearing issues that I have had to put my foot down on since (no, we are not baptizing DC in your religion; no we are not sending DC to a poor urban public school when our local school is great (she has some strong beliefs about educational equality beginning with affluent parents investing in failing schools). FWIW, I still cringe at her grandma name, but whatever.  She has always treated me very well, has helped me out of more than a few jams when DH travels, and is an amazing grandparent. If this is what I can do in return, I can live with it.  [/quote]
