I met a Priscilla!
Clary and I were in the doctor's office waiting for her x-rays yesterday. In the room with us was an elderly woman named Priscilla, a gentleman named Humphrey, two friends named Gloria and Sarah... and a Spanish woman named something like Bihoz.
Priscilla definitely made my day, but what do you think of them all?Priscilla
Humphrey
Gloria
Sarah
Bihoz

I'm a bit surprised that Priscilla is seen as an uncommon name to hear. I can think of several I've known, including a little girl, and it was my dad's mom's name (she died when I was a baby). Maybe that's why it seems so much more common to me than it actually must be?Humphrey is definitely interesting to hear. I'm not sure if it's dashing or doofy.

I knew a girl in middle and high school named Priscilla. She's my age, so mid twenties. :)

Priscilla- pretty fun, though Prissy is an annoying nickname
Humphrey- I don't like it, but I'd be glad to meet one
Gloria- fun and pretty, I like it
Sarah- pretty every-day
Bihoz- not really my thing...

I had a friend in middle school named Priscilla Abigail, she was named after her grandmother. Priscilla is one of my absolute favorite names :)Humphrey doesn't sound appealing to me at all except on Bogart.
I always hated Gloria as a kid but I'm starting to like it.
As a Sarah, I think my name is pretty but definitely overused. The good thing is that it's an easy name to travel with.
Bihoz.. I'm not really sure what I think about it. Did you see it written or just hear it?

Just heard it. In fact it is totally possible that I really was in a room with a Priszillah, Humpfreh, Glowreyah and Sairaah... but I just assumed the spellings. Bihoz was the closest I could get in my head. Beeh-yoz was what I heard. (not like Beyoncé).

I wonder if her name was maybe Bihotz. That's the only name I can find that would fit.

Priscilla is very pretty; I went to high school with one.
Humphrey is cartoonish; a good name for a big goofy dog, perhaps.
Gloria is very pretty too.
Sarah is as bland and boring as it gets. The new Mary, but with the added association that everybody seems to know a Sarah with an irritating, baby voice and a pointless, stupid laugh.Bihoz is not a name I've ever heard before. It doesn't sound nice at all.

There was a Priscilla in my high school class. It was an unusual name, to be sure. She didn't have a nickname, was always called Priscilla. She'd be in her mid-fifties now.I like Priscilla. Humphrey to me is horrible, makes me think of an ogre. Gloria is middle-aged frumpy, Sarah is pretty but I'm terribly sick of it due to overuse, and Bihoz is just too unfamiliar to judge.
