NO.

M & S have a perfume called this.

LynetteScavo · 03/07/2008 14:26

Don't M&S do a perfume called this?

Fimbo · 03/07/2008 14:27

It will only get confused for Isaac anyway

reethi96 · 03/07/2008 14:27

No it sounds like a corporate company! I like Iris though.

Fimbo · 03/07/2008 14:27

Isis

WigWamBam · 03/07/2008 14:29

Lovely name for an Egyptian goddess but I think it sounds like someone trying too hard to find an unusual name.

Iris is nice though.

AlbertaWildRose · 03/07/2008 14:29

I like the name, but I'm personally not crazy about naming children after ancient gods and goddesses - too much baggage!

I just googled it and it is a puzzle ball and the name of a pharmacutical company.

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 03/07/2008 14:30

Isn't it a hotel chain?

LynetteScavo · 03/07/2008 14:30

I think that's Ibis, DevilWP

chopchopbusybusy · 03/07/2008 14:30

Devil, that's IBIS. Isis just reminds me of the Bob Dylan song.

minouminou · 03/07/2008 14:31

That's Ibis, no?
poss as a middle name

StellaDallas · 03/07/2008 14:32

Bob Dylan fans like Isis

beaniesteve · 03/07/2008 14:34

"It will only get confused for Isaac anyway" for a girl?

It's after a Bob Dylan song. I am not pregnant but I'm putting it on my list for when I am .

Lol at M&S, to be honest the sort of people who buy fragrance that often at M&S are not the kind of people I would be worried about

I had this on my name list when I was first pregnant. DH put me of as it's also some electrical engineering term or something and something used in deep sea expeditions - although I do still love the name tbh.

I was also had Circe

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circe

Thankfully, for all concerned, I had boys

beaniesteve · 03/07/2008 14:35

lol - at Stella - x post. I AM very much a Bob Dylan fan. Another name I would consider is 'Blue'.
