Comments for GODIVA:

Lady Godiva (who inspired the popular candy) rode through town naked, covered only by her hair to protest taxes. The townspeople had such respect for her they all looked away, except for Peeping Tom.

There is that story, yes, but there's also the chocolate company, which has the most delicious chocolates.

The city that Godiva rode naked through was Coventry, where her husband Leofric, Earl of Mercia, had imposed harsh taxes.

I didn't expect to find this name! I don't think I would name a human this, but for a dog, yes. My family owns a dog named Godiva, because she is a chocolate lab and it is after the chocolate.

I love it. It's so girly, sweet like chocolate and (at least in the U.S.) it's unusual. I do wonder if it's too chocolatey. But that's not really a problem! :)

"Lady Godiva's Operation" is a song by The Velvet Underground from their album "White Light/White Heat".

I have always pronounced it as gode-EE-va, it's never pronounced as go-die-va.

I always think of the first line of the song "Lady Godiva's Operation," already mentioned.

"Lady Godiva had dressed so demurely"

I don't think this would be usable as a person's name.
