Isis

[beaniesteve]

Wadda you think?

True, I know a fair few chloes and don't automatically think 'perfume'

Each to their own, I have traditional names for my dc which you would probably hate.

Kind of depends on your area too - where i live Isis is a fairly standard name - my DD goes to nursery with 2 Allegra's, a Julius, Tatiana, Atalanta, Astrid, etc etc - so Isis seems kind of pedestrian!

lol - It does make me laugh that people might think I like the name Isis because I might think it's unusual, I don't. I just like it.

Where are you babblington? None of them in sleepy old Norfolk

Richmond, Dahhling. But then again, in dd1 first school class there are 3 Alices(!!) so I'm quite pleased she's the only Isis. In the year she was born (2004) there were 7 or so other Isis's born, and I've met one of them in Highgate!

incidentally Circe was also on our list, until i found out it is pronounced Kirk -ah

LOL Fimbo, I'm also in Norfolk and cant imagine any Isis' turnin up!

Circe is pronounced sir see. I'm due in a week and Iris was top of list but I'm loving Isis.Anything else like these?

I like it Lawrence Olivier's granddaughter is named Isis

I love it, it's a fab name

Is it pronounced eye-sis?

was recently the name of a pre-op transexual on america's next top model.

feels clumsy to say the name Isis, but it looks nice.

Isn't it the name of the avent breast pump?

Love it - It's on my list too

It's also what the Thames is called when it runs through Oxford.

Isis is an Egyptian Goddess (think she's Goddess of fertility??) - I think its very pretty

Just remember you aren't naming a baby - you're naming a woman.

My friend's dd1 is called Isis, I think it's lovely

You could always use Isabella - meaning Isis the Beautiful - to give more options.

I love it. I have met a little girl called Isis who was incredibly cool.

I know a 2004 Isis. Once I got over the shock I grew to really like the name

I know an Isis. 'Izzie' is her nn.

Isis is a very endearing and attractive character in Ian Banks' novel "Whit".

She escapes a strange Scottish cult and runs off to the real world. She is lovely and exports her slightly strange view of the world to modern day London.

Great novel. Quite like the name for that reason!

I like that it's an Egyptian Goddess!! but I don't much like the sound of it. too many Ss..
