Help[Opinions] Cartimandua
Cartimandua is the name of a princess of the Brigantes tribe in Britain in 1AD.
There is something strangely appealing for me though I wouldn’t use it for a real child but she could alway go by the nickname Mandy. WDYT?
Don’t take criticism from someone you wouldn’t take advice from

I'm not British, but I was in the UK when my first child was born. I had a boy name, but was stuck for a girl one. I wanted Lucy, which works fine in my country but my friends assured me that it was only found on plump, spotty sixteen-year-olds who left school and worked for the local Post Office. Instead, they suggested Cartimandua and/or Boadicea/Boudicca and/or Britannia, all of which I politely declined. Luckily, I had a boy.
All I can think of is Cartman.
Awesome name for a princess thousands of years ago, but a bit much for an average Joe of today's world. The name itself sounds pretty cool, I don't know how else to describe it.
Too long, too clunky and too out there for most mortals.
