Boudicca

[Kustan1972]

Do you like the name?

Do you know anyone called Boudicca?

Actually I don't dislike it. It's strong and independent but I'm not sure it's an easy name to live with growing up. I think if you call her Bhodi then it's do able and it would grow on me. Don't discount it if you like it - it's your baby after all.

There was one very gobby woman on the British version of Storage Wars. It kinda suited her, tbh.

No. It's awful. "Hi, I'm Boudicca - just call me Boo ! Or Dick !"

Don't do it.

I know one. Her siblings have unusual names too.

What`s she done so bad ?.
NO NO NO NO.

I have neutral feelings towards the name but I would not inflict in onto a child.

She is an inspiring historical figure but her story is gory. She was eventually vanquished and the Romans raped her daughters as punishment, took her land, etc. It is too heavy for a young child to carry.

An acquaintance of mine (who incidentally is a massive hipster) named his daughter Boudicca, nn Bo or Boo. I actually don’t hate it but would feel a bit of a twat yelling it across the playground.

Yes. Boudicca is shortened to Boo at the vets as even calling her by her full name sounds pretentious

My hamster was Boudicca.

Boudicca, hell no. What about Boadicea? Same history, slightly softer name.

Absolutely not

Don't do it! She wasn't a nice person and the subject will come up at school. I know of one and I know lots of people were shocked and laughed at it

I've heard worse.

Reminds me of Bodacious.

Jesus Christ NO. Call your bloody children normal names FFS. They’re not pets. They will be adults with jobs one day.

Good name for a cat, "Boo" for short. For a child not so much.

Try the name test:

"Is Boudicca coming out to play?"
"I love you, Boudicca."
"Is Boudicca ready for promotion?"

Just no.

Good grief, no.

And now I've got a Horrible Histories earworm

Bo de see ah
Or
Boo dick ah
?

Just NO.

It’s not absolutely terrible (certainly better than all the Chantels and Eva-Raes our there) but not a great connotation. Maybe name her after someone with a happier life?

I know someone with a B.ouxdicea, Boux for short. Think it’s awful, quite honestly!

However you spell it, it’s a very “Look at me!” name — for the parents’ benefit... not so much for the child’s.

There’s one in my area. She’s an artisanal bread maker.

Boudicca, hell no. What about Boadicea?
I know one of these. Nicknamed Bo. Shy, quiet girl.
