I have little to no knowledge on this issue. However the little I do find suggests that "kodesh" is an adjective meaning "holy" (Someone more knowledgeable, please correct me if I am mistaken). As for QudShu, I find this from Wikipedia...
I am wondering if the use of it as a name necessarily must disqualify it for use as an adjective? From what little I know, when people speak of the Kodesh, or Ruach haKodesh, it is not really used as a name so much as a descriptive title.
But then again, I could be completely mistaken. <!-- s

From the Semitic root Q-D-?, meaning "Holy." Her other names are Quadshu, Qudshu, Qodesh, Qadesh, Qadashu, Qadesha, Qedeshet, Kedesh and Kodesh.[1] Her city of worship was Kadesh[2]
