Guys. Isis & Aries?

[studytime45]

These are the names of siblings I was on a bus with. 

Opinions?

I like the name Isis. It's pretty and reminds me of,the Egyptian goddess. Being half Egyptian, it reminds me of the beauty of pharaohs and the golden age.

Ares, not so much. It makes me think of a muscle-bound jughead.

[CheshireGrin]

At least they're real names.

[wysiwyg]

Better than Orangejello, Apple, and R'obyne (Robin)

Isis made a clay penis for her husband after it got hacked off and she couldn't find it and put Humpty (Osiris) together again.

Aries is the God of War and basically the worst bro ever since he's banging Haephastus' lady love, Aphrodite. She's more than a bit bitchy and is credited with starting the Trojan war due to someone finding Helen to be more bangin' than herself.

Not even close to the worst I've ever heard.

Currently Isis makes me think of the militants in Iraq, but that's a fairly new development.

According to Wikipedia:

Isis (/ˈaɪsɪs/; Ancient Greek: Ἶσις; original Egyptian pronunciation more likely "Aset" or "Iset") is a goddess in Ancient Egyptian religious beliefs, whose worship spread throughout the Greco-Roman world. She was worshipped as the ideal mother and wife as well as the patroness of nature and magic. She was the friend of slaves, sinners, artisans and the downtrodden, but she also listened to the prayers of the wealthy, maidens, aristocrats and rulers.

I know an Aries and an Isis. Isis has good hair.

[Jalapeñomel]

There was an Isis in my spring classroom.

I love the name Isis. Always have. Didn't use it because my husband was all "we're not Egyptian", but I adore it. Isis was a badass.

In the world of shit names for kids, Isis and Ares don't even come close to awful. A little odd to borrow from two different mythological groupings for your kids' names, but an Isis and an Amon-Re would probably be a little much.

My thought, too. I know an Isis, and like the name, but wonder if it will be taboo for a while because of this.

Hey, I wouldn't mind being named after a goddess.

[underwaterrhymes]

I like the name Isis a lot.

And although it wouldn't be my first pick, Ares is far from awful.

[eb777888]

I don't hate them.

[spk926]

I think they are real names that their parents liked. I wouldn't give them a second thought.

[papie]

I like it.

They're fine. Not names I'd likely use for my own kids but not terrible either. 

[CloudBee]

I've heard Aries many times.

[whitemerlot]

I know an Isis and don't mind the name.

[sawyerthedestroyer]

SIL's dog is named Isis. She's a fucking awesome dog and I kinda want to kidnap her.

[berbles]

My mom had a cat named Isis. 

Now it makes me think of Archer. 



ETA: Sorry that's so huge.
