PIL naming Convention

My PIL want my newborn to call them gong gong n mama even tho I previously said the convention was yeye and nai nai, and that my parents will be gong gong and popo. I know people who call their grandma mama but I just feel sad and like won't it confuse the baby? Mama is me first? Anyone facing this issue? How to deal with it and teach baby? I just feel uncomfortable. If baby calls mama, he wld be calling me, not her?

I know what you mean~ for example; my parents are to be called Gong Gong & Popo. But my MIL always short cut and want my child to call the “Yi Po” as Popo. And my husband do not have any elder sisters, and MIL want them to call the elder cousins “Gu Gu” but shld be “Biao Gu”.
