Slightly different, but my friend's daughter Isis hasn't been too happy about what's happened since she was born.

Neither was AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon when they named their mobile wallet solution ISIS shortly before the caliphate was formed. [1] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Softcard https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Softcard

  I know someone whose major in college was abbreviated as Isys (information systems). Not anymore.

    The credential management system at my college was called ISIS, so you had an ISIS identifier, you had to go through ISIS login, etc.

  Didn't they get death threats and insults on Facebook? Not only from people that would do that kind of stuff online, but also the kind of person that thinks that a terrorist organization has an official Facebook page. They had to rename their page to "ISIS the band" or something like that.

Starting e-mails with "dear Isis" just feels like begging to be added to watch-lists.

My personal conspiracy theory is that "Isis" is a result of the US "convincing" media organizations to use that name for the Islamic State after realising that intercepting communications using the term "is" was an impossible task. Even further, they then tried to impose "Daesh" but it didn't catch up.
