Iowa Nice or Not: Naming Rights

Brooke in Norwalk sent us this email…

“I’m hoping you can help me out. My sister and her husband have been trying for about a year to get pregnant, and finally had success a few months ago.
They did a gender reveal party, and found out they’re having a girl.
My sister told me after the party that they’re going to name her Mildred, and I said, “That’s the oldest name I’ve ever heard. No one has named her daughter Mildred in like 70 years.”
She got super ticked at me, and hasn’t spoken to me much in the past month or so. I’m just trying to look out for my future niece, she’ll get picked on in class.
I wasn’t trying to make anyone mad, but I think it was right for me to let her know that the name is a poor choice.”
Time for “Ken, Kurt & Tawinee’s Iowa Nice or Not”…
Was Brooke fine by mentioning this, or was she out of line?
