Boudicca

I always assumed this name was pronounced Bo-day-shu or Boo-day-shu and related to the word "bodacious". The real meaning is better.

It's rare, I like it.

I don’t like this name at all, but it is very unique and has an interesting story behind it.

My daughter is called Boudicca. It is a wonderful name, and although my parents in law kept telling us that we will change our minds, once the baby was born my family have always been very supportive. My daughter's father is English, and it was his great idea. I have never met another child with this name, and it is surprising, as she was an important historical figure in this country. My little girl is now 4, and we absolutely love her name, and so does she. She is indeed as strong as the name implies, which is wonderful for a girl.

That's a very beautiful name. I'm thinking to name my daughter Boudica, with one c since it's an official spelling of the name. The best thing about the name; it's very rare and has a strong meaning. I find it very strange that it's not being used much.

Sounds too much like "booty call...!"

This would be a big load for a little girl to carry.

This is one ancient female name I actually like, but I would not bestow it upon any girl other than one who has the strength of spirit Queen Boudicca had. This would be a good nickname too.

Although I think Boadicea is a far more appealing pronunciation and spelling of this name, this is still a great name and deserves to be used more often. :)

Some very brave English parents have used this recently. I've spotted several.

Although I agree that the historical Boudicca was awesome, I still wouldn't name my child this, since it sounds ugly and rather pretentious.

I love this name, it is very beautiful, this would probably be my first pick if I ever have a daughter. And aside from the cartoon Gargoyles, I have never heard of this name being used before.
