Re: "Bodacius", "Hiawayi", and "Populus"

I can't say I understand Bodacius, especially for a girl. I can understand Boadicea easily. It just sounds like an ancient male name.
Hiawayi is cute. I might have to look it up and see what that one's all about. I don't know about using it for a first name, at least not for me. My ethnic ancestry just doesn't extend that way ... It is cool though.
As for Populus, I wouldn't use it for a first name because it's like population and populous. If it's a surname being used for namesake purposes, I understand using it as a middle name. I want to do the same thing if I have a little boy. My Grandma had the maiden name of Braaten and her married name when she passed away was Kane. It's the name I remember her having. I want to use one or the other as a middle name. If its Kane, I would even use it as a nickname.
Just thought I'd throw my two cents out there.
