AITA for not wanting my MIL to have my daughter call her by a name that means “mother”?

My husband and I are expecting our first baby soon.

And this entire time, my MIL has said that she wants to be called “Ima” (or “Ema”).

Which I, as well as a few other family members, have always thought meant “grandmother” in Hebrew.

Our family is Christian, so I thought a Hebrew name meaning was cool.

This woman found out the real meaning of “Ima.”

Then, I decided to Google what that name really means.

And it means “mom” or “mother.”

I personally really do not like that my MIL, future grandmother to my daughter, wants to be called “mother.”

Regardless of it being in another language.

My sister-in-laws, friends, and my mom all think it’s weird.

Her husband thinks it’s not a big deal.

But my husband thinks it’s not a big deal, which is disappointing.

I just know in my gut that I do not like that name.

And I really don’t like that my MIL is trying to be called by a title that she is not.

I’m my daughter’s mother. Nobody else.

AITA for that?
