Ann Summers may want to rethink the name of their latest range of lingerie, which will appear in shop windows and online under the name of Isis.
The complete range of lingerie, varying from plunge bras to thongs, shares its name with the extremist group otherwise known as Islamic State, formerly known as Isis (the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria).
The Islamic terrorist group were formed in early 2004 and have made significant gains in the Syrian civil war, declaring the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant in April 2013 and the caliphate in June.
However, Ann Summers’ head office chose the name Isis after the ancient Egyptian goddess of love, before the Islamic group were widely known.
"We thought up the name over six months ago," an Ann Summer's employee told The Independent, wishing to remain anonymous. “It wasn’t until all the PR was done for the portfolio when the name meant something else. It was too late to change it.”
Ann Summers apologised for any misunderstanding and said they did not intend cause offence.
A spokesperson for Ann Summers said: “Range names for our products are chosen far in advance of the collections landing in-stores and online. In this instance, the inspiration behind this range name was taken from the Ancient Egyptian goddess Isis.
"We acknowledge the unfortunate timing of this product launch in our store windows, however we in no way support or condone any act of terrorism or violence. We apologise for any offence caused.”
The line comes just days after the execution of American photojournalist, James Foley, by Isis members.

A northern Indiana town marshal is facing two misdemeanor counts for allegedly stealing panties belonging to his son's live-in girlfriend.
Police charged 59-year-old Millersburg Marshal David Keith Hathaway Wednesday with two misdemeanor counts of criminal conversion. Messages seeking comment were left by The Associated Press for Hathaway at his office and home on Friday.
A probable cause affidavit states the woman and Hathaway's son set up a hidden video camera that showed Hathaway entering their room and sniffing one panty and stealing another. She also says she found another of her panties in Hathaway's safe.
An initial hearing is scheduled for Aug. 15.
A message seeking information about Hathaway's status as town marshal was left Friday by The AP for town council President Jim Winkler.
The following is a release from the State of Indiana:
The Elkhart County Prosecuting Attorney charged David Keith Hathaway, 59, the Marshal of Millersburg, Indiana, with two counts of criminal Conversion, a Class A misdemeanor, in Elkhart Superior Court 6, today; and, a summons will be issued by the Court for his appearance. Conversion is the crime of exerting “unauthorized” control over property of another person.

Shibue Couture Inc.® was born out of necessity. Designer Jenny Buettner was inspired several years ago when she was asked to be a bridesmaid in her sister's wedding. The bridesmaid's dress was a silky chocolate gown, it was gorgeous! There was a problem though -- every sort of undergarment worn beneath the dress showed panty lines.
Popular with celebrities and anyone who needs to cover-up their camel toe or would like to show some skin in revealing cut-out dresses; the Strapless Panty is held in place by a washable and reusable silicone gel adhesive across the front and back of the panty. You can wear the panty underneath form fitting dresses, slinky gowns, or with anything else.
Amazingly, the strapless panty is reusable. The adhesive is reusable so it will stick repeatedly to your body, which allows you can go to the ladies restroom like normal by simply peeling one end of the panty from your skin and reapply when finished.
As for sizing, the Shibue Strapless Panty® runs true to your normal panty size. Remember it doesn't matter what size you are across the hips because the panty only goes from the front to the back of your body. As the sizes become larger the panty becomes longer and has wider coverage.
