Nicknames aren’t pronouns, they’re nicknames. If her legal name was Mama J and you didn’t call her that, yeah, that would probably constitute harassment over time and her asking you to call her by her legal name.

What would actually be comparable is if you addressed her with male pronouns. Since the discussion was about pronouns, not nicknames.
