Expecting parents may be thrilled to see their unborn child, along with it is the joy of naming the unborn baby. There are millions of baby names to choose from, but there is one name that most Americans dread of using.
Names of Greek gods and goddesses are quite popular when it comes to baby names. Names from the Bible, royalties, books and movie characters are also a hit. But according to She Knows, one of the most dreaded baby names came from an Egyptian goddess, Isis.
Isis is known as the mother goddess wherein she is usually associated with the moon and fertility. Despite being one of the most beautiful names in the Egyptian history, most Americans shun the name.
Though it has nothing to do with Isis' character, their fear of using the name was because of its correlation to one of the most notorious terrorist group, ISIS. Isis used to be a popular baby name, but the numbers dropped as ISIS, also known as ISL, IS or Daesh headed several terror attacks around the world.
Parents would usually choose a perfect name for their child as it is part of shaping their character. A child's name is usually associated with who she/he will become in the future as it defined his/ her being.
A psychiatrist from Boston, William F. Murphy suggests that names have "serious effects" on some people's psychological health. Behind the Name pointed out that a person's name creates a huge impact in determining his/her personality as it helps "determine the messages other people send the child."
Names can also be a source of character build-up as it can be a source of ridicule. Names can be used by the child's peer groups to tease, throw jokes and bully. Instead of looking for a unique name for your child, it would be helpful to envision your child's success before choosing an appropriate name that would suit your child's personality.
