HelpWill Isis ever be usable again?
Isis is a formerly obscure name from Egyptian Mythology that trended for a short while in the 2000s. However, in most countries (particularly the ones that collect this data), Isis' popularity completely fell off after 2014; and sadly, we know why. I really wish that Daesh or even ISIL had caught on more as the shorthand for the terrorist state than ISIS, but... here we are. (Isis seems to have returned - as a name - in France, and Portugal continues to use it, though they appear to be alone.)
Anyway, an article recently came out detailing New Zealand's rejected baby names of 2023: https://www.today.com/parents/family/new-zealand-banned-baby-names-rcna135625. While I'd say the majority of this list are titles, and that seems to be against NZ's naming rules... Isis is among the names. Only requested once, but still, it's banned.
Do you think it's possible for the connection to terrorism to be severed, and for Isis to become usable again (in most countries), in the future?
