Re: my name isn't even listed anywhere...help
Hi Joannicea,Somewhat late but...Your name reminds me immediately of Boadicea, a Celtic Queen who fought against the Romans. It's likely that your name is Joan or Joann with the -icea ending. I don't know what it means though. I wouldn't think it's Joan with a -nicea ending.This:

will tell you more than you want about Boadicea and maybe (slim) there will be a snippet explaining her name.Boadicea is a latinized version of the Celtic name Boudicca.I haven't got Acrobat installed yet (new system) and so haven't read this:
http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/institutes/sassi/spns/INDEX2I.pdf
but it is an Index of Celtic Elements and may explain what -icca means.:-)
