Comments for the name Drusilla

A Yiddish form of Drusilla is Dreizel / Dreisel (drie-zul).

Drusilla is the name of an unbalanced vampiress from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel television series.

Drusilla is a cook in the household of Helena and Constantius in "Priestess of Avalon" by Marion Zimmer Bradley and Diana Paxton.

This is one of the most hideous names ever.

Nice for a book character or for a film character but I wouldn't dare call my child this name.

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.

Drusilla is a character in Faulkner's novel The Unvanquished: beautiful, aggressive, intense, and austere. She is devoted to the old order of vengeance and associated with the strong fragrance of verbena.

Drusilla is also the name of a character in the Worst Witch.

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

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.

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

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

Drusilla, with the nickname Dru, was a long running character on the US soap opera, The Young and the Restless. The character was portrayed by Victoria Rowell.

A famous bearer of the name Drusilla was Livia Drusilla, later known as Livia Augusta, the wife of the first roman emperor Octavian Caesar Augustus, and mother of the second emperor, Tiberius. She was one of the most powerful and politically influential women in the Roman Empire.

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

This name is really pretty. I especially like the "Dru" part.

Drusilla Beyfus is a prominent English author, journalist, and broadcaster; her daughter is fashion journalist Alexandra Shulman.

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.

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.

Drizella, really? Oh, what an awful name. Sounds like "drizzle". :-)

But really, I find Drusilla to be a great name.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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!

Eeewwww. Priscilla is much better.
