[quote=Anonymous]My DH is from France, where grandmothers are often called Meme and Momme (especially if both are still alive, to differentiate between then) with Momme basically being pronounced Mommy.  When my DC1 was born, my MIL AND her own mother (so the great grandmother) were both alive.  Both very nice women, we all got along.  HOWEVER, they said ok the great grandmother will be meme, and my MIL will be momme, and I just said nope, sorry.  I nicely told my MIL she could pretty much be called anything she wanted, but not mommy or anything that sounded like mommy.  I told her the baby would get confused.  But it the end it was my MIL who got confused, because when my child started talking (she was a crazy early talker), and saying mommy or when someone told her “go to mommy” or “where is mommy” or “give it to mommy”, etc. and she would go to me, my MIL would get all upset.  Pretty quickly my mil changed her tune and created her own unique nickname and decided that was her new grandmother name.  It was a weird nickname, but whatever.   Op should go with her gut, she’s the parent.  [/quote]
