Boudicca

[Kustan1972]

Do you like the name?

Do you know anyone called Boudicca?

No
And no.

No. It is awful.

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

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

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.

Icenit around from time to time...

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

Truly awful.

I like it

Jesus Christ. No

NO/

*NO! (Dislike so much it made me make a typo!)

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?

I get why you like it, it has great, powerful conations, (sp?)but it's a huge name to carry around. I think it's one of those names that could be a burden.

Do you like the name? No

Do you know anyone called Boudicca? Only the original one

It's not a particularly pleasant sounding name and there are several different ways to pronounce it.

She could be Dic for short.

I’ve worked with two, but not with that spelling: one Malaysian male and one Sri Lankan female, both spelt Bhuddika.

No I wouldnt use it. Too long, complicated to spell and say, has big connotations, doesn't have nickname... and frankly I dont think it sounds like a name.

Yes.
My dog.

Yes,

And yes, she's a terrier and it suits her

No

And of course not

Icenit around from time to time...

😂😂😂😂

Seriously - don’t! What if she ends up being a quiet, shy little girl? It has very definite associations.

I think we all know one Boudicca OP...

Fuck, no.
