Help[Opinions] Now there's a namesake I'd like to have! :D (m)
in reply to a message by Distant_Stars
She was a rebel, a strong female warrior, fought for the freedom of her people, and preferred dying to submitting to Roman authority... very honourable, IMO--what more could one want in a namesake?
Boadicea is an very uncommon name, to boot. I also think it looks/sounds quite pretty.
I don't understand the nn Addy, though. It just doesn't feel natural, coming from Boadicea. I'd probably go with Bo, or Bea (prn. BEE), or even CeCe.

Also...
Oops, I forgot to respond about the mn. I don't like Boadicea Ocean, mainly because of the similarity of the "o" sounds and the repeated "cea".
My mn suggestions:
Boadicea Maris (means "of the sea")
Boadicea Wren
Boadicea Lenore
Boadicea Garnet
Boadicea Delphine
Boadicea Violet
Boadicea May
Boadicea Fleur
Boadicea Ingrid

CeCe doesn't make sense to me...its meant to be pronounced Bo-ah-da-shay-ah according to my Papa who is a history professor

I've only ever heard it pronounced Boo-di-cuh. I watched a show about her on the History channel and that is how they said it.

Hmm
I've heard a few pronunciations, actually. Lots of spellings, too.
I like bo-dah-SEE-ah best... that's the way I've heard a few Brits pronounce it. *shrug*
If that's wrong, though, or wrong for the area/spelling, then I suppose CeCe wouldn't make sense. But I prefer Bea or Bo, anyway. :]
