Am I being mad?

Willing to be told it's pregnancy hormones but I'm really warming to this name.

I even like Bo as a nn.

Bear in mind that the correct pronunciation is 'boo-deek-wuh': deek rhymes with 'geek' and wuh sounds like 'what'.

So the natural shortening would be 'Boo' rather 'Bo'.

But seriously, very few women/girls could successfully pull of a name like Boudicca. Don't do it. How about Beatrice?

You're kidding right?

Why not choose a normal name, I don't get this 'unusual' name obsession people have!

Don't forget the name is forever, and they will be 50 one day Hmm

It's a bit silly - what if she is shy and retiring?
