The Australian parents of an 8-year-old girl named Isis say that people used to comment on their daughter’s beautiful name.
Now, people shudder when they hear Isis’s name as it is the acronym most commonly used for the jihadist group ISIS (shorthand for Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) that has become known for barbaric beheadings.
Frank and Sheridan Leskien of Sydney appeared on the Australian TV show Today to ask the media and public to “leave our daughter’s name alone.”
The Leskiens named their daughter after the ancient Egyptian goddess who was worshipped “as the ideal mother and wife as well as the patroness of nature and magic.”
“It’s a beautiful name,” Mr. Leskien told the British Daily Mail. “We spent so long choosing it.”

Sounds like Owl Gore, it depends on what the meaning of IS,IS.
Ah yes — the Star Trek spin off that never spun.
Terry Garr was super hot in that episode.
As was Isis. And what a lovely pussy...
"I married Isis on the fifth day of May, but couldn't hold on to her very long..."
'Desire' - my favorite Dylan album (a lot of people just say "huh?").
Interesting side effect of a name. Why can’t these extremist groups pick a more useful name to use for an acronym like O.B.A.M.A.?
They named their daughter after the Egyptian/Sumerian Goddess of sex and fertility? Hookay.
Bob Dylan wrote a song, ‘Isis’
First time I heard the term ISIS that song came to mind.

Yes, that very uneven recording called Desire. With the violin player and the song about Ruben Carter.
That’s unfortunate for the girl. She should change her name to Infidel. They would never copy that.

It’s in my collection, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say it was their fav Dylan record.
IIRC it came directly on the heels of what many others refer to as their fav Dylan, Blood on the Tracks.
Pity that spin-off never happened.
That’s what you get for naming a chld after a pagan diety.
If they had a kid named Adolf, I’m sure they would have written a nice letter to Mr. Hitler asking him to behave better.
Any sane parent would work with their kid on choosing a new name.
Maybe JJ Abrams can make it happen in one of his “reboots”.
Still the brits have had Gary seven like show for several decades now...I think they call it Dr. Who?!
Actually, Bubba Clinton first coined the word “Is, Is.
These punks are just a bunch of mooslim copycats!
But we won't talk about why the media still uses ISIS while the Puppet uses ISIL.
Like the towelheads care! They’re too busy raping women, stealing money and cutting living heads off living necks.
Idiots.
These idiots should be made to wear a dunce cap and sit in the corner somewhere.
Imagine how her brother, Nazi, feels.
