It was named after the Steel Capital of the South, Birmingham
Alabama is not know as the "Steel State"
The name "Iron Bowl" referred 100% to the fact the game was played in Birmingham every year and nothing more. That name has nothing to do with Alabama or Auburn or the State of Alabama or city of Tuscaloosa or Auburn. You can try to pretend like that isn't the case, but you would be completely wrong
not really sure why an LSU fan is trying to argue this anyway?

Correct. B'ham is/was the Steel Capital.

Well that's where you'd be wrong because the entire state has an impact on the Steel Industry. Thus, the name Iron Bowl is still relevant.
When you play a game labeled the "Third Saturday in October" on the "Fourth Saturday in October" it no longer makes any sense nor has any relevance.

Well for starters, I am an Alabamian.
