I named my son at birth and it was changed at his adoption. I've always thought of him as the name I gave him, but in communication over the years (I've had a semi-open adoption), I always called him the name his aparents gave him, out of respect for them and him, since that was now his name. Over the years, I've come to think of him more as the name his aparents gave him, and will call him that name when and if we meet, unless he would like for me to call him by the name I gave him.
I think if it doesn't bother you to be called by the name your mom gave you, let it be, but if it makes you uncomfortable, you should kindly let her know. To her, you will probably always be Peter. It took me a long time to see my son as his new name. Your mom will probably need more time to adjust to this.
