If some parents are going to teach their kids that they are goddesses, maybe it isn't a bad thing to have somebody tell them they are stupid, dirty children from time to time. After all, the latter statement is a lot more true than the former.

I was never happier than when I was a stupid, dirty, little girl; I still resent my grandmother and her biology book.

This reminds me of when the department store Santa told the little kid: "You wanna see a monkey? Go look in the mirror, you'll see a monkey." This was an old joke relating to Darwin and evolution, probably from the Scopes Monkey Trial days, but it immediately got turned into a racial thing.

Come to think of it, it's also a lott like remarks made at the birthday party of an old, old man who's gone now.

Really, what goes through a person's mind to even "quip" "stupid, dirty girl"? I don't like kids, but never in my wildest imagination would I tell one that their name meant "stupid, dirty girl".

There's just something, almost criminal, about that.

I wouldn't want you anywhere near any child since you appear to blame the child for something she had no control over! The child's name is Isis and I don't think the name is over the top but according to you she should be told she's stupid and dirty occasionally because her parents named her something out of the oridinary. HELLO!! RE-READ THE ARTICLE AND MAYBE YOU'LL HAVE MORE SUCCESS AT COMPREHENSION! Nowhere in the article does it state her parents are teaching her she's a goddess. They simply named her after an egyptian goddess, maybe they liked the name Isis.

My name is Sally. Here's the breakdown of what my name means.

SALLY f
Usage: English
Pronounced: SAL-ee
Pet form of SARAH

SARAH f
Usage: English, French, German, Jewish, Biblical
Pronounced: SER-a
Means "lady" or "princess" in Hebrew. This was the name of the wife of Abraham in the Old Testament. She became the mother of Isaac at the age of 90. Her name was originally Sarai, but God changed it (see Genesis 17:15).

According to you I should have been called stupid and dirty because my name is a pet name or nickname of Sarah which means lady or princess. How dare my parents name me a name meaning princess. Obviously you also think my parents taught me I was a princess.

After all, the latter statement is a lot more true than the former.

Kids do have a natural tendency to get dirty but to call a child stupid because of her name is beyond the scope of decency. For you to think it's not a bad thing to call a child dirty and stupid because of her name shows to me you suffer from a distinct lack of class.
