[Opinions] Wdyto Priscilla?
I have had this name on my mind lately, and I think I like it, despite the inevitable association with the ex Ms. Presley.The only thing I don't like about this name is the nn Prissy, any other suggestions? Middle names?

I love it. I had it on my short list for quite a while. Possible nns include Pria, Prisca, Rilla. I did the search for other possible nns, too, as I dislike Prissy as well.

Priscilla is a name that I would really like if I hadn't known a horrible one. And this a girl I knew back from gradeschool and she still today overshadows this name with her image. That's how bad she was.I think Cilla would be a cute nickname.

I've always kinda liked this name, I don't know why! I would never use it though, because I too hate the nn Prissy and everyone would think of Priscilla Presley.

I don't care for the name. I find it much too frilly and girl-y, without any beauty to it. I don't think of Priscilla Presley, and if people do, who cares?As for middle names, I suggest Priscilla Rose and Priscilla Nadine. Priscilla Presley's middle name is Ann, as an FYI.

I find it a bit snooty sounding, but it's pretty nonetheless. I actually didn't think of Priscilla Presley at all. I think Cilla would be a cute nn, though it does remind me of Cilla Black.

It was an ex-roommate's name. I didn't like her much. It seems to be popular in the Asian crowd.

You have two of my favorites in there. Tabitha has been on my girl's list for a long time, and Valentine is at the top of my boy's list right now.
I also like Priscilla Arden.
