Huh. I've never really understood what people are talking about when they say that names don't match, but these don't match for me. Probably because I think of Hannah as a plainish Jewish girl and Isis as a beautiful Latina woman. If I didn't know a seriously beautiful Isis I might think they go together better, though.
And then, as an edit, once I finally said it out loud, it runs together as one word because of the similar sounds at the end of Hannah and the beginning of Isis. Hannisis.
I don't think I've ever heard it said with a z sound, but I'm probably not hanging out with people who Isis is a name of their culture. I've only ever heard it Eye-sis.
Hmm, I think it's mainly because I've known a few Hannahs I've not been very fond of. To be fair, I also know some awesome Hannahs but I think people you know when you're young can really stamp an impression on names.

I'm never sure when I see it (it would be EE-zee-ss in italian)
