Boudicca

[EllenDegenerate]

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.

Please don't.
Just. Don't.

Boudicca is awful, Romilly is lovely.

Don't do it.

I know a Boudicca. Sister to Ulysses.

Boadicea
bow/duh/sea/a

Have I been saying and spelling it wrong all this time...

and Buddug apparently in welsh bithig
ooh theres also a penguin in happy feet 2 called Boadicea nn Bo

Kimmy it's now widely accepted that Boadicea is an error, based on a mistranscription. Boudicca (boo-dik-ah) is correct.

at sisters Boudica and Ulysses! I can only imagine how seriously the parents take themselves!

If you use the name, please do read up on the history in depth before finally doing so - there is a lot of rape and cutting off women's breasts and sewing them into their mouths and burning children alive in temples in it, possibly not quite as great a role model as the 'strong woman in chariot' image popularised to support Elizabeth 1 ( also a ginger queen)

It's fine.

OH is pretty much opposed to it. It took me a while to convince him of Romilly.

So for now it will be Romilly unless I take another flight of fancy, but in such an instance I will be sure to confer with you all first
