In 2002 the name change finally went into place and all the residents on the new Isis Avenue were thrilled.

Many years ago I was getting a new phone. Verizon was pushing a predecessor to Apple Pay or Google Pay from American Express. The name of the app was Isis. I know they changed the name of the app when the other ISIS showed up but I think it just completely went away after that.

Yep, and Archer (the FX animated spy show) named their spy agency Isis and had to change it once the other Isis came along.

Hell, there’s been a post metal band named Isis for a long time…to say nothing of my Cousin Isis!

I hope the name doesn't die totally. It's a great name an reference to Egyptian mythology.

Yeah, it was sad how it went from a point of pride for her (“I’m named after a goddess!”) to “please call me “Icy” now. I always thought it was a beautiful name.

They named it ISIS, but your post said they named it Archer. Also, a far funnier way to resolve it would've been Malory being bad that ISIS is giving them a bad reputation and suing them for trademark infringement.

I always thought they should have just kept the name and had the characters bitch about the new ISIS fucking up their shit.

A storyline with ISIS vs ISIS could have been hilarious.
