I've always disliked Priscilla. It sounds prissy. Camellia is pretty.

Priscilla just sounds better.

Priscilla. It has some biblical weight while still being very feminine, and Camellia is a little too frou-frou, plus has some pronunciation issues. Much prefer Camille.

I am am an enemy to anyone named Priscilla.

Camellia, it sounds nice and it's flowery without being frilly or overdone. Camellia is better than Camilla because Camilla has the potential to be pronounced with an ugly "mill" sound. Camille is good too, but I also prefer Camellia.
Priscilla is too prissy, it's simultaneously a grumpy old lady and an over-the-top spoiled rich kid. You know the grumpy look of a Persian cat? That facial expression but on a human and dressed up in tons of overly frilly pastel/floral decorations is Priscilla. It's like someone who is mean and spends a lot of money to show off but the meanness shows through anyway.

Camellia, because it's a lovely flower and Priscilla sounds too pretentious.

Too much camel, not enough flower. I prefer Camilla, but since it doesn't feature I'll go for Priscilla, though it isn't a name I can enthuse about. It always sounds snooty, and by coincidence the Priscilla people I've met have lived up to that impression. And since the obvious nns are Prissy and Cilla or Silly, they don't help.

Priscilla

I prefer Priscilla. Camellia lasts one syllable too long for my liking.
