Do you like the name?

Do you know anyone called Boudicca?

Would you like to be called Boudicca? Can you honestly say that in 100% of situations you’ve encountered in your life, you’d always have been confident enough to introduce yourself as Boudicca?

Went to school with a girl called Boudicca, her nickname was Bodhi (however you want to spell it), she didn't like saying her full name though

Icenit around from time to time...

No, don't do it.
imagine your poor daughter starting secondary school, having to sigh, be embarrassed and say I know, my parents were weird, would-be hippies/ pretentious prats; and hoping classmates will take pity on her rather than make her life a misery.
this is what will happen, even in a private school.
please think of the child encumbered with such odd names, just for a whim. call the dog that instead. it won't get bullied/embarrassed.

Do you want her to grow up to lead a violent armed rebellion against an oppressive government? Grin

No. It is awful.

I know about the historical context of the name, but it is still awful.

No
And no.
