[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

DH brought it up with sil and she also agrees that it's weird her and her fiance are also against it.

I think I'm going to try asking nicely once more. I plan on asking mil if she called her grandmothers mama (insert first name) or if DH and sil called their grandparents that. Well knowing the answer will be no, I will then state well if it isn't a family tradition then I'd still prefer you choose any other name. We have spoken about this many times. I'm hoping pointing out it's a name she pulled from no where will help her come to her senses.

[b]Very slim chance this will work. If not, I told DH he needs to handle his mother or I will be forced to not be so nice about it.[/b] [/quote]\

OP, I would not go with the nuclear option here.  The best way to handle this is to talk to the child a lot about her grandmother, but always call her Grandma Sally instead of Mama Sally.  I guarantee you that if the child is used to talking with Daddy and Mommy about Grandma Sally, that she'll always call her Grandma Sally.  You can win without having to confront your MIL or even deal with MIL over this at all.  If the child always calls her Grandma Sally even when prompted to call her Mama Sally, she'll eventually give up.
