Priscilla

Too much?

Posted too soon

Love this name but it has always struck me as too OTT to be usable until I met a baby Priscilla the other day and it made me wonder what other people thought!

It's a bit...haughty

I like it!

Just makes me think of the queen of the desert.

Yup, its too much.

Not keen - I don't like the sound of the "Pris" part much. I secretly love the similarly "out there" Drusilla though (and the more useable Lucilla and Sibylla).

Queen of the desert.

Prissy. Hard pass for me.

Love it

Very popular with African families so if you’re of African heritage it would be fine.
Otherwise a bit too much, IMO

I really like it!

Yes. Too much.

Makes me think of a very fluffy white cat, no idea why

Awful.

Not keen. Made me think of Cilla Black.

I know a young woman Priscilla, and I was surprised at first as it's so rarely used. A good, strong name I think.

In France it’s fairly common, but very posh.

Yes, too much.

I've met a few of Ghanaian origin.
I don't dislike it but I do find the "priss" sounds reminds me of prissy.

It's too much for me. I know lots don't like the "Pris" part but it makes me think of Blade Runner - though probably not the best character to name a baby after lol.

I don’t like the Pris part. How about Melissa?

Made me think of Fiz's mum in Corrie.
There's Priscilla Presley.

I’m not sure either maybe because I don’t often hear the name.

It's my Confirmation name! It was one of my favourite names when I was 12 AND I managed to link it to a very obscure Saint!

I love it!
