This name has also been a favourite among English Romany and traveler communities too. I remember an English traveler fortune teller coming to our house when I was a small child and she was a Drusilla too and she also sold little golden charms in the shape of bells or medieval style shoes my grandmother would carry them in her purse for good luck 🍀🤞🏻 and so I always have fond memories of the name Drusilla.

I absolutely love the name Drusilla and Dru is such a cute nickname too. I really hope this name is used more in the future in the English speaking world. :-)
There was also a minor character named Drusilla Paddock in the British children’s television program The Worst Witch which aired on CITV in the late 90s early 2000s the actress playing her was a beautiful and intelligent red head.

Way too dated and it also sounds like truculent.

The name Drusilla reminds me of the TV show The Waltons- that was the name of the pond.

Yeah, too close to "Drizella"... Cinderella's ugly step sister, for my taste...

This name is pretty but cringingly old fashioned, and mostly unheard of.

Drusilla does not mean "covered in dew".

Drusilla is a gem of a name. It sounds fresh to the ear and would make the bearer sound intelligent :) Just my opinion, I like it.

A nickname could be Silla, Drue, or Dru.

Such a beautiful name. While I prefer the Drucilla spelling, this one is good as well.

My name is Drusila and it's hard to live a life where everyone hates your name, because they think it's stupid or ugly.

I really like this name. I am thinking of using it as a name to change mine to. It really feels like a strong, powerful name for a woman, I think that's why many people don't like it, because it is not all prissy and girly, but I think that's great. I like Dru, too - ready made shortening. Perfect!

I read that Emperor Caligula's sister was Julia Drusilla. As Julia is the family name signaling a descendent of Julius Caesar, Julia Drusilla was always mentioned as simply Drusilla as her sisters were Julia Agrippina the Younger and Julia Livilla.

Drusilla Fawley is the great-aunt of the titular Jude Fawley in Thomas Hardy's Jude the Obscure.
I also find this name appealing, especially with nickname "Dru," but there's still an immediate witch connection for me that I think would be hard for a kid to shake.

Very dark and Gothic sounding, but still extremely beautiful. Though, instead of 'Dru', I'd probably shorten it to 'Silla'.

Not a huge fan, but my first thought was that kids would call her "Drool silla".

This is a wonderful name which should definitely be used more often! :)

This name has a lovely, elegant, and dark quality about it. It is very eccentric, perfect if you want your fictional character to stand out. But I'd never name my child this, and even if I did, it'd be as a middle name. Oh, and I love the nickname Dru, it's so cute, for some reason.

It seems to be getting a lot of heat, but I happen to like this name very much--and I even like the "Dru" nickname. And yes, in the Disney version of Cinderella, Drusilla and Anastasia are her sisters.

To nitpick, actually Cinderella's sister was Drizella. And I happen to like the name Drusilla. It's beautiful, in an odd way.

It was actually Druzella, which you could probably consider a spelling variation of Drusilla.

User 'mymymetrocard' is right, Cinderella's ugly sister is called Drizella, not Druzella - according to Wikipedia.

Drizella, really? Oh, what an awful name. Sounds like "drizzle". :-)
But really, I find Drusilla to be a great name.

I really like this name now. I used to think it was silly sounding and ugly, but if you think about it, it's beautiful in a dark way, with a cute nickname, Dru, to go with it. Dru-Silla.

I'm not sure, but I think that one of Cinderella's stepsisters was named Drusilla. Or at least in the Disney version.

Drusilla sounds like it would be Dracula's wife's name. No offense to anybody with that name.

Drusilla was Caligula's favorite sister. They were supposedly lovers, too.

I think it's an okay name. There's a character in some comic, called Pibgorn I think (no idea what it's about or who wrote it, sorry), who is a demon I think. Or a fairy. Can't tell.

It's a nice name, but if I named my kid this I want to just use a nickname like Dru.
