IMO the connection to terrorism doesn't exist. It's only on paper and not in real life. I don't know what's wrong with NZ, but I think maybe they rejected it because it's the name of a goddess in Egyptian mythology, not because of some group called ISIL / ISIS.
If my neighbor names a baby
Isis, I'm just going to think, oh like the goddess in Egyptian mythology. Like if they name a kid
Osiris. Same deal. I'm not fussed about any acronyms. It's not like they named their baby Cia. If they did, then I would say, what's with the terrorist baby name?
