Hmm never heard of this.."mom" is not like you are a. changing who your mother is, denying who you mother is or any such.  In fact calling your mother in law "mom or ami can be seen as a term of endearment/affection. You just cannot change a person's name or deny a relationship. 
When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy. Rumi

Yeah I understood, but only sought to put forth a suggestion.  Anyway, I think the wisdom behind the prohibition of calling someone by other than their father's name [Qur'an 33:5] is for keeping family ties.  Therefore even a married woman should keep her father's family name, as well as those converts who enter Islam should not change their family name.  I don't think in your case that you are attempting to represent yourself as your wife's mothers' son, but only referring to her by the nickname/kunya use by your wife.  In some families you'll even find the wife referring to her husband as "dad" or "baba", and the reverse.  And Allah knows best.
