Well...I'm Greek and I can confirm that it's not a normal Greek name.
Its actually ancient Egyptian, predating the classical Greeks by over a thousand years. Anyway, people getting upset over this are just ignorant.

The Egyptian name for Isis is Aset. Isis was the Greek version.

It's a name, not the acronym so no worries.

I was ignorant once... Then I found out I didn't know anything. [wacky]
Heh, this is getting off-topic, but Aset is the presumed pronounciation of the name (AFAIK). But yes, Isis as a written name comes from the Greek (although they obviously didnt spell it as such either!), which influenced Latin, which influenced modern Italic/Germanic languages, which we use on this forum.
In any case: when we type Isis on the forum, we use our language to refer to the Egyptian godess, not an irrelevant terrorist organisation.
I can't delete my own thread huh?Oh well...Good luck with that
Nah, just see it as helping out fellow cmdrs who didnt know either.
For what its worth, we had an Isis cafetaria. They changed their name. Are you sure the name Isis is Greek?I'm Greek and the only time I've heard it as a name is from Egyptian mythology.Heh, this is getting off-topic, but Aset is the presumed pronounciation of the name (AFAIK).
