Priscilla is youthful but well-aged. Light, airy, sounds intelligent, and desirable as a name. Reminds me of Priscilla Presley. If I had a Priscilla myself, I’d call her Sissy, Cece, or Prisa.

Love it

I like Priscilla. It makes me think of a prismatic purple crystal.

I picture someone tall and dark, but gentle. It's an elegantly ancient name to me, like Drusilla. I'd probably call one "Pris" for short. Like Kris with a P. Or maybe Priska.

I knew one and her nn was Cill

I like it, I wouldn't use a nn. If you do you Cilla I'd cut out these. Prisa, Risa, Pia, Rilla, Prisca, Cece, Cissy, Pria, Ria

Priscilla confuses me. When I hear it, I picture a tall, thin adult, attractive rather than pretty, keen and competent. But when I remember the only one I've ever known, I see a short, sallow teenager with straight, short, boring hair and a superior expression on her face in spite of having no apparent gifts at all: slow academically, no interest in sport, music, history, public speaking ... The Priscilla I picture wouldn't have a nickname, and the Priscilla I knew wouldn't either but for a different reason that I can't quite pin down.

What do you think of Priscilla?
I like it.

What would you use as a nickname that isn't Prissy or Scilla?
Issy or Cilla (Although, it’s close to Scilla)

---

What type of person do you picture when you hear it?
I picture a posh woman.
