The smash-hit period soap Downton Abbey may sideline the Crawley family's much beloved pooch Isis because of perceived sensitivities around the use of that name by Middle Eastern extremists.

Despite forming around 1999, the extremist group which uses that name did not formally name itself Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) until 2013.
They are also known as Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), or simply Islamic State (IS).
Downton Abbey made its debut in 2010 and is the story of the wealthy Crawley family.
One of their dogs, Isis, is named after the Egyptian deity Isis, the goddess of nature and magic.
The UK newspaper The Independent quoted a spokesperson from the ITV network saying that the dog's name was "unfortunate coincidence".
"Isis has been the Crawleys' family pet since series two [which was filmed in 2011] and was named after the Egyptian goddess," the spokesperson said.
She is one of two yellow labrador retrievers owned by the Earl of Grantham; the other is Pharaoh.
If the producers decided to act, it would follow a similar move by the US television series Archer, which focuses on a spy agency named ISIS.
Within the mythology of that show, ISIS is short for the fictional International Secret Intelligence Service.
Archer's producers have already confirmed they plan to phase out the agency's name.
"We went back and retroactively painted out the ISIS logos in parts of the show, and we just don't talk about it in dialogue," creator/producer Adam Reed said earlier this year.
In future episodes, the producers will shift the characters into the CIA, America's Central Intelligence Agency.
It also follows decisions by the producers of Doctor Who to cut a scene in which a character was beheaded, and by the Australian broadcaster SBS to delay airing the second season of Danger 5 for a similar reason.
Meanwhile, in the UK, speculation is mounting that Isis may be destined for retirement, or worse, that great kennel in the sky.
Commentators there have noted that Isis has appeared as an adult dog in episodes set in both 1912 and 1924, suggesting that it would not be unrealistic to imagine her days are numbered.
