Too frilly fou-fou for my tastes and presumably from the film, a Priscilla now means a transvestite.

How about Camilla, Cecelia, Emillia, Lucilla

this is not good imo.....and priscilla queen of the desert has just come out on stage in London too so advertising for it is everywhere.....but as you asked for nicknames rahter than opinions....how about Cissy rather than Prissy....Cissy is actually a really adorable NN....

I LOVE Priscilla - it is on our mega long list! Does it really need a nn?
What about Cece? I would try for the full name at al times though - it is beautiful!

What about Cecily? It's got that sweetness without the drag queens?

I have a friend who is a Priscilla and she really doesn't like it.
