No personalised Nutella jar for 5-year-old Isis

Published on: 

In a bizarre case, a five-year-old girl in Australia was denied her personalised jar of Nutella with her name printed on it because her name is Isis. Heather Taylor, who has two children, named her daughter after the Egyptian goddess Isis, revered as a matriarch and friend of the disadvantaged.

She has named her 8-year-old son Odhinn after a god in Nordic mythology. Taylor’s sister tried to buy five personalised jars which are labelled with the recipient’s name for her nephew Odhinn and her niece Isis from a Myer department store in Shellharbour, New South Wales.

Taylor was quoted by the Sydney Morning Herald

as saying that both names were initially flagged as problematic by a computer.
