Isis not Iris

Hi ladies, came here to ask for some names with a similar vibe to Isis. For very obvious reasons I will not ever use Isis but I love the crisp pretty sound. Iris is out.
Do like Tess and Eve too. Thanks

I know an Isis. She changed her name to Zizi. Which is a pizza chain but less controvertial than Isis.
It’s also the childish word for a willy in French!

I love the name Isis, and was absolutely set on nsmibg DD Isis. She’s 9.5, fortunately DH has more awareness of current affairs than I do.
