[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looks like lots of people here are ASSUMING that the MIL is horrible based on this one request.  OP hasn't given us reason to believe that MIL is the kind of horrible MIL some have assumed she is.

So, OP, set the record straight.  Is this request a one-off that you're just annoyed about?  Or is MIL a monster?[/quote]

Not OP. Go back and read the OP's initial post. This is just one in a long line of oversteps. 
I would refer to her as Grandmama X to the baby, and let the baby decide when they eventually decide to talk. [/quote]

Voice of reason here, again. "Overstep" assumes some very strict pecking order that will become less relevant as the child ages. And if this MIL is a wonderful loving grandmother, then that is the most important thing. Your child will NOT understand why you made her call her MIL something other than Mama X if that is what Mama X wanted. She will not care what insecurities you have or how long you waited to have kids. Those are all YOUR issues, not hers.
