Help[Opinions] Re: Drusilla
in reply to a message by mirfak
Is it usable?
- Well, to any Buffy the Vampire Slayer Fan it will scream "sexy, but evil vampire" but fortunately, I don't think that there are many kindergarten buffy fans out there (a few, but not many) especially as the show gets older and older, which makes it about a hundred times more usable than it was ten years ago. Really, the friends of Drusilla's parents might recognize it as coming from that TV show (regardless of if that's why you like it or not), but the kids hypothetical Drusilla would be playing with wouldn't. Personally, I think it would fit in with the "frilly classic revival" (Isabella, Ava, etc.).
Do you like it?
Yes, I do like it, but its more a name I like for someone else's list than my own. It seems a bit romantic for me (says the girl whose current favorite is Diomira).
Nicknames (they're inevitable) that you prefer?
Dru. I think its fun and spunky. In general, I like when girls' names can be shortened to something a bit more boyish, though with Andy being the more popular nn for Andrew and Drew Barrymore being relatively popular, and with Jordan and Cameron being popular for girls and boys, many people might not even recognize that. Silly is also kind of fun, but very... well, Silly. :-P
Remind you of Caligula?
I've never heard of Caligula. Honestly, I doubt many people who arne't clasics majors or history buffs know many roman emporers outside of Julius Ceaser, Augustus Ceaser, and maybe Niro, the crazy fire guy.
