If they're lucky, fans of Nutella may receive a personalized jar of the savory hazelnut spread for the holidays this year.
But for a 5-year-old Australian girl named Isis, after the Egyptian goddess "revered as a matriarch and friend of the disadvantaged," there will be no jar of Nutella with her name on it, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.
Heather Taylor's sister placed an order for five personalized jars of Nutella at an Australian department store. The names of her niece, who has the misfortune of sharing the name with the militant terrorist group responsible for the Paris attacks, and nephew, Odihnn, were flagged as problematic by the system.
Her nephew's name was eventually cleared to be put on a jar, but an executive for Nutella's parent company, Ferrero Australia, told Taylor the company will not make an exception for Isis because "it could have been misinterpreted by the broader community or viewed as inappropriate," the company said.
Taylor told the Herald she named her daughter before the militant group's rise and said ISIS should be referred to as Daesh, a term the militant group hates to be called.
While Taylor has no plans to change her daughter's name, the militant group's rise has made things difficult and uncomfortable for the family in a public setting, she said.
