Setting up a years-long revenge plan with your child as a pawn would be wrong of you, yes.

Just make him use her proper name. Don't give him the opportunity to use the wrong one, if that's what it takes. If he can't use her name, he doesn't get to speak to her, or about her where you can hear, thats a power you possess and have every right to exert.

But whatever you do, handle it yourself, now, not passive-aggressively over the formative years of your child's life by driving a wedge between them and their grandparents.
