Is there any sort of convention among the written sources as to the correct spelling of her name? Be it Boudicca or Boudica, this needs to be sourced appropriately as conformity to one single spelling is necessary. Of course, if there is no single spelling used throughout the written sources, (which is likely the case,) then a source is nevertheless needed and this needs to be explained. The current section on her name only deals with the Boudica/Boudicca or Boadiciea issue.--Skittles the hog - talk 17:39, September 12, 2012 (UTC)
Human Nature and The Lonely Computer put Boadicea up as an alternate only although it should be said it is the default used by most people in Human Nature. Boudica/Boudicca are interchangeable but which do the stories use?
Boudica with 1 c
- credits and summary on Big Finish's The Wrath of the Iceni page
- The Lonely Computer - the Tenth Doctor's first guess of two, "Bo-" herself says it isn't her real name.
- Byzantium! - exactly how she is referred is in quotes in this article
- publisher's summary for Short Trips: The Quality of Leadership (don't know about the story itself)
Boudicca with 2 c's
- Human Nature - Seventh Doctor's human identity states it is her real name
This leaves the actual text for Good Queen, Bad Queen, etc. which would trump the book cover
Behind the scenes, Alex Kingston played "Boudica" and Claire Davenport played "Boudicca" in roles outside of Doctor Who. --Nyktimos ☎ 20:51, September 12, 2012 (UTC) and tweaked --Nyktimos ☎ 21:43, September 12, 2012 (UTC)
