A family are calling for people to stop referring to terror group Islamic State as ISIS to avoid confusion with their eight-year-old’s name.
Frank and Sheridan Leskien – from Bexley in Sydney’s south – named their daughter, Isis, after the Egyptian goddess who was portrayed as a model wife and mother, and is the patroness of nature and magic.
Now the name is associated with the terror organisation Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) – also known as Islamic State – who have claimed responsibility for beheading U.S. and British nationals on camera.
Isis’ parents have appealed to the media and the public to stop using the name to refer to the terror group before harm comes to one of the ‘tens of thousands’ of women who share the same name.
‘It’s a beautiful name we spent so long choosing it. [The Egyptian goddess] Isis is a nurturer and someone who cares. People used to say to us: “What a beautiful name”,’ Mr Leskien told Daily Mail Australia.
‘This is hurting my little family and we’ve lost family because they’re scared and don’t want anything to do with us…it’s soul-destroying,’ he said.
‘I have been calling her Isis for eight years, if not longer, because I was calling her Isis while she was in the womb.
‘Do we have to wait until something that happens to one of them before [someone listens]?’
Ya? Think of how my Dad felt when his beloved cocker spaniel, Nazi, was intentionally run over in 1934.
.
Pure fucking Kangaroo shit. Call her Esis.
If Dad gets a restraining order that would be something,
but nothing will stop me from calling any piece of excrement an obama
So? My cousin’s birthday is on 9/11. Think we can get the world to stop calling the terrorist attacks on September 11th 9/11?
Must be a progtard.
Son is Maximus. Next they’ll want the medical community to change the name of the largest ass muscle. Gluteus maximus.
The father looks like a large superficial ass
Poor mom. She doesn’t look like she spawned an egyptian goddess namesake.
More like dingo.
Sisi. 👿
Time for a sternly worded letter – that should do the trick.
The father’s pose looks like a photobomb.
Dad, you gave her that shit name. Now you deal with it, now jerk off.
What about Esse?
You named your daughter after and ancient Egyptian deity and now you want everyone to quite saying it?
You have the foresight and judgement of a mud puddle. You are a non story and a moron. No one is going to stop saying ISIS because your little girl is all butt hurt. Go away and never darken the internet again.
Those damn ancient Egyptians. Didn’t they realize this was going to happen, and that little girl would be forever traumatized?
Ugh.
@Claudia: My older brother and grandfather also share 9/11 as a birthday. I don’t hear them bitching about it.
Next up – Man pleas with news media to stop referring to Al Qaeda as Al Qaeda because his name is Albert Kyda.
Next on pop’s bucket list:
Having a camera view framed so you don’t have to bend over to get in the photo.
According to the world’s smartest man it’s ISIL so chill out.
Nothing to lose your head over, haha.
Pound sand, you stupid git!
“Hey! Look at me! Look at me!”
Is it just me or is Dad really the “unfrozen caveman lawyer”?

Maybe a hashtag campaign?
My kids name is POS and her brothers name is AHOLE.
He should have named her Seven.
Her brother’s name is “pocket pool”.
Is that a mullet dad is sporting?
Sorry kids. You look like your mom.
Change it to Khorasan.
That’s supposed to be the newest hip sleeper cell.
ISIS should change its name! It could be called Gaggin’ Annie after the mother.
