If according to MoMo teaching that Jesus became a God, then that would mean Mary is not the Mother of God but the mother of a man named Jesus... (Note am not referring to RC teaching here1!!)

I can see where you are coming from. However the LDS don’t state that. They do state that Mary is one of Heavenly Fathers polygamist wives (as well as his ‘spirit daughter’).
Some quotes from Mormon leaders...
The fleshly body of Jesus required a Mother as well as a Father. Therefore, the Father and Mother of Jesus, according to the flesh, must have been associated together in the capacity of Husband and Wife; hence the Virgin Mary must have been, for the time being, the lawful wife of God the Father: we use the term lawful Wife, because it would be blasphemous in the highest degree to say that He overshadowed her or begat the Savior unlawfully. (Orson Pratt, The Seer, page 158)
Inasmuch as God was the first husband to her, it may be that He only gave her to be the wife of Joseph while in the mortal state, and that He intended after the resurrection to again take her as one of his own wives to raise up immortal spirits in eternity. (Orson Pratt, The Seer, page 158)
The man Joseph, the husband of Mary, did not, that we know of, have more than one wife, but Mary the wife of Joseph had another husband. (Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, 11:268)
I’ve got more quotes but I won’t bother to post them.
