HelpRe: "Prissy"
in reply to a message by Maggie(nsi)
I don't know if I find it sickeningly sweet so much as incongruous. I don't think the three names go together at all, but I would not characterize any of them as sweet.
April is very trendy 80s and not my style, but not really sweet at all to me.
Priscilla is soft and feminine, but more retro than anything. I wouldn't shorten it to Prissy, obviously, but I do like Cilla as a nickname for it. I actually like it, even if I'd never use it.
Love, to me, is like Constance, Hope, Charity, Temperance, etc. Some are my style, others are not, but I think it can be a great combo. I still wouldn't characterize it as a sweet, necessarily, because it reminds me too much of the Puritans, and they were anything but frilly.
It's a jarring combo, yes, but not really sickeningly sweet - unless you take the nn Prissy into account.
