HelpCilla makes me think of...
in reply to a message by DLB
cilia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cilia
I also think of the three-headed sea monster, Scylla, from The Odyssey. Not quite the prettiest connotations a name could have...
I do like Priscilla, though "priss" might be a little bothersome if she wound up being a tomboy!
For nns, how about:
Prisca
Pria, Priya
Piri
Pippy
Pippa
Prilla

Thanks a lot!
Yeah, the "priss" part kind of bothers me as well. And I don't think very many people would think of that sea monster so that doesn't bother me!
My sister though of Prisca and it is rather cute (better than Prissy or Sissy). I also think Pippy would be good if she was a tomboy with red braids sticking straight out(think: Pippy Longstocking). LOL! Pippa is rather nice as well.
Thanks once again!
Loving Theodore and Chloe!

Oh, gosh, I'm not the only one! (Mildly OT)
I think of cilia, too, although for me, it's with the name Cecilia (hence while I prefer the Cecelia spelling, or just Cecily).
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks of the scientific term sometimes. I was feeling kind of geeky there. *g*
Uh, anyways, my thoughts on Priscilla! I'm not a huge fan of this name-- the "priss" really bothers me-- but it could grow on me. I like Magenta's suggestions of nicknames, especially Priya and Pippa. :o)
