Priscilla is my grandma,s name. I dont like Priscilla at all its ugly to me. But it is a good name for my grandma. old fashin.

I love it, I think it's classy and elegent, it has that old Hollywood feel to it. I believe with other old Hollywood names like Ava being fresh and new sounding again to parents that Priscilla is just at the right time for a revival.

Wow, none of you can spell. LOL!
