WDYT of Drusilla?

I've been thinking about it a lot lately, but I can't say I like it. Kind of sounds like the name of a Disney villain.

Any combo ideas?

It's a shame Drusilla gets such a bad rep. Drusilla and Dru are charming.

I agree. It is rather goth and witchy.
Dru, Silla, Rilla are all good nicknames but I can't picture this on a real person-just a character.

I like the sound of it, but I agree that it seems like a villain name! Maybe because I've only ever seen it used on characters and both of them were villains.

Maybe something soft/happy to drown out the evilness!

It is the name of a Disney villain: one of Cinderella's step-sisters (the other is Anastasia).

I quite like Drusilla. I don't know why, though...

Ha, foolish one! I too once thought that Cinderella's stepsister was named Drusilla, and was so brash as to state this as a fact, here on this very board. I was appropriately and promptly corrected. Cinderella's stepsister is Drizella. So there. I hope you feel as abashed as I did.

But I can't shake the feeling that it should be Drusilla, because Drusilla is a real name, and if Anastasia can have a real name, why can't Drizella?

I kind of like Drusilla. I put it in the same category as Jerusha. I just like Jerusha, even though it sounds like it should be one of the horrid kids in "Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory." They're both kind of icky, but in an endearing way.

It makes me think of a restuarant in GTA IV.
