I actually had someone named Isis in my class for a few years. When I mentioned her to my parents they were so confused about the name and were asking questions and I had no idea what the big deal was lol.
Most unfortunate bilingual name trajedy was a boy in my class. His parents were French and didn't speak any english. He was born in canada though so they wanted him to have an 'American' sounding name to help him fit in and given the popularity of harry potter, they named him Harry. What they failed to realize is that when your last name is Anas naming your child Harry is not a good plan to help him out socially. Harry Anas is quite a name to put on your resume
I once worked with a woman who explained how she named her daughter. She stated that while pregnant she asked her husband for name suggestions and before replying he happened to glance over at a bottle of cleaner. So, he blurted out the first thing that came to his mind - the name of the cleaner - Tidy - as in Tidy Bowl toilet cleaner. She actually liked the sound of it and thus named her daughter Tidy Lou. I almost asked her if she realized that she just basically named her daughter "clean toilet." lol
I teach a child called Dodo. I’m now used to the name and the kid is delightful but I still make sure I concentrate on that class a lot more just to ensure the kid leaves my class in as good a condition as they arrived in.
Coming from a gaming furrie post millennial, that shows this guy is no comedian. You guys don't know what real comedy was because your cancel culture killed them because you were all so offended so now we have lame pretty boys like this to appease you.
She was the Egyptian goddess of fertility and motherhood (also the goddess of magic, death, healing and rebirth). Her name is the Greek form of an ancient Egyptian name for “throne”. (I googled all these facts, just because… 😊) Anyway, I love Jack’s standup comedy! He’s absolutely brilliant!
Your source might have gotten some things confused since Anubis is the god of death and the god of earth is Geb. Though she’s closely related to both as one is her dad and the other is essentially a nephew also there’s a hippo goddess of motherhood for Egypt
Can I just say isis (the goddess) 1) is not a Greek goddess and is Egyptian 2)is the goddess of magic and healing not nature Edit: I was not aware of this but Aset (the original Egyptian name) has nature as part of her associations. I was only aware of the magic and medicine associations. I love learning and mythology so this is showing how incompetent I can be which is called the duning Kruger effect but now I'm going on a tangent sorry. My point being: thank you everyone and I hope we can all keep learning about historical cultures happily by sharing our knowledge with everyone
I was abut to say that but then i remembered that Isis is her greek name, her egyptian name is Aset. And she is arguably a nature goddess too, classification of god roles is not that clear cut
In 1989 I walked into an old post office in Allentown Pennsylvania. Whilst in line, I looked at the mosaic floor...., full of swastikas. I learned that the post office was from the 1920s and the symbol was religious. Jack's response was my response..., "Not, anymore!" I couldn't believe that flooring survived WW2.
Funnily the Buddhist symbol is noticeably different from the swastiki sits at an angle, where as the Buddhist symbol sits at a right angle and has four dots next to each arm, the swatiki actually comes from a Finnish symbol, which was originally a Norse rune meaning lightning or a lightning bolt
My son's had classmates called Newton, Napoleon and Nefertiti. They're Muslims 😂😂. The nearby town to where I live is called Qaida. Has been for over a century
My high school principal was named Mr Alcock. There are just some names you have where you don't choose a profession that involves standing in a building full of children all day.
This happened to my sister Arielle, (pronounced Are-EE-El) because my mom liked the name. Then a little film called "The Little Mermaid" came out and swept the world by storm. Cue 30 years of constantly correcting everyone who called her "Ariel" because of that Jamaican crab. It actually helped her out when she started up a swim school, so...
Jake is incredblie funny. However, I must say this Isis is the name of an Egyptian Goddess not Greek. And as someone going for a degree in Archaeology specializing in Egyptology it broke my heart to hear that chose that name for such horrible people.
That moment when you have a sore throat, and any laughter will make you burst out into a coughing fit, and you decide to watch this video... I had to hold my breath almost the whole video to keep from laugh-coughing.
Same except I was snowboarding and her dad allowed her on the black diamond slope. It was so steep that even with me throwing myself on my back I couldn't stop.
I lived in a town where the local bone cracker was actually named Harold Dick, Dr. Harold Dick. He had it emblazoned on his window in beautiful gold letters. I always thought, wow, he must be a real hoot! Often thought of him as an inspiration.
The Adolf bit reminded me I actually have a great uncle Adolf who is buried in Mt. Hebron cemetery on our family plot. XD. It was so jarring to see that the first time I ever went there.
I had a classmate whose name was kayke (literally pronounced ka-ai-ke) K"something" (don't actually remember the last name). Our class also had a Kailee. One day a substitute teacher got confused with both Kais, and on an effort to not mix them up, ended up calling kayke, "KK K" (kei-kei-kei) and poor dude got stuck with a killer nickname the rest of the year. The most compassionate ones called him "triple K" but the fire had already been spread and NO ONE was ready to let go yet.
The Buddhist symbol was still used on the map as a key for Buddhist temple in Japan. That's why it freaks a lot of westerners out (not sure if it was changed it's been five years before I move out of Asia and never visited Japan since)
I don't want to be that guy (I'm kidding I totally want to be that guy I'm just lampshading it) But Isis (Aset) is the EGYPTIAN godess of fertility and motherhood
As far as unfortunate classroom names, our English teacher was well loved by his pupils. Cheeky and cheesy, one example was mucking about with our names for the morning register. "Today class, we're going to swap round the initial letters of your surname and first name." Uh? Bit weird & not very good we thought. Until I noticed poor old Martin Fackerell's reddening face ... Ever since he was known as stinky, farty, you name it.
I had Isis picked out as my daughter's name since i was a little girl (Egyptian goddess). In 2002 i had a son, so no Isis - but i named my first female cat that, lol. I also was able to use the name Juno on my first female dog - then the movie came. Probably good I didn't have a daughter.
Our school had a girl named Lady and a boy named Major. They were nice kids and I never heard anyone pick on them about their names. Maybe we were more polite then.
@@oliviadaly4795 yeah, Iris is my middle name i knew that but when talking about Isis for a world tour comedy tour you would try and get your facts right wouldn't you?
My daughters name is Ármey, pronounced kinda like our may. EVERY english speaking person we meet say Army?? 😳 Then they give us this facial expression saying “weird but ok!!” 😂
1:05 looks like when her parents named her, they made TWO mistakes. Isis isn't greek, that's Iris, the name of the goddess of the rainbow. Isis is the EGYPTIAN goddess of life and magic. The Greek goddess of nature is Demeter, and her daughter got kidnapped by the god of the underworld, so not really something you want to be associating with your own kid.
We had a company by the name of Isis - They have been making sweet things with no added sugar since 1993. They used the name before a certain organization and eventually chose to rebrand around 2016. They go by Easis now. They changed their name because it was making it difficult to get the brand going outside of Denmark because of the negative associations. A company is one thing. But a child? Yikes.
My mom had a coworker who was legally blind, and she had a seeing eye dog called Isis. Not as awkward as having a human called Isis, but still, the dog would have had to have been named After that became an issue.
Mythology nerd here. The Greek Goddess of Nature is Demeter. Isis is an Egyptian Goddess of Motherhood and Magic. Closest Greek Goddess name is Iris, Goddess of Rainbows
The swastik is way older than Buddhism. It's an ancient Indian symbol, still very important to hindus. Often found at the doorways of homes, is in every temple, every home altar. The oldest known swastik dates to around 10,000 years ago from the Ukraine, and as indians, it is still important. So when you enter a Hindu home, don't get all offended and so on. That would be very inappropriate!
Isis isn't a Greek goddess isis is an Egyptian goddess so either Jack got that mixed up or the lady didn't know what she was talking about. And even if you didn't name her daughter isis before everything went down you got to be a little more careful with what you say because if you're not careful it could very easily be taken out of context and have some undesirable consequences.
No joke - I taught a child whose name was Cleotris. She went by Cleo, but I felt so sorry for her due to the horrible treatment she forced to endure throughout middle school. Why would a parent do that to a child?
Well, the first five seconds ('I'm definitely not ready to have a child, I'll be a terrible parent') have not aged well, cos he is going to be a dad in September ❤ Hope he doesn't use any of the names he jokes about here 😂
Here in Brasil Isis is actually a pretty common name for young girls. I knew quite a few growing up. I'd never really made the correlation between Isis the name and ISIS the... well, ISIS before, probably because ISIS wasn't really a big deal here as far as I can tell.
To be fair, Isis is a pretty ancient name, going back to the Egyptian goddess. I would just assume that anyone who named their kid Isis did it because of tradition. That being said, sometimes you should hold off tradition until words get new meanings. Like anyone who decided to shorten "Richard" to "Dick"

I always said if I got a black cat I'd name her Isis. She ended up as Freya and now she's a support animal and named Morgana.
