What’s in a name? Apparently, a lot of drama! When a father, let’s call him ‘Straight-Shooter Dad’, agreed with his 6-year-old daughter’s dislike for her name, he sparked a family feud that’s got the internet buzzing. Little Mildred (yes, you read that right) was upset that her classmates thought her name ‘sounded like a grandma’. Straight-Shooter Dad, who never liked the name in the first place, tried to console her by confessing his own dislike for the name. But things didn’t quite go as planned…
