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.

I love all the positive comments on this name as it is my actual name and all these it sounds like... Ya I've been called them all and I find it hilarious.
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!
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.
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.
Drusilla sounds like it would be Dracula's wife's name. No offense to anybody with that name.

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.

I know a lot of people who don't like this name but I think it's lovely. It has a very dark quality that I appreciate.
