Delaney I love for a character in a story but would not use as a real person's name as i don't think it would age well. Atm i have a bit of a names-beginning-with-D craze for characters in my stories - Delaney...Delilah...Delia...Delphia...Devereaux...DiannaPrudence i quite like and i love the nn Prue. I think of a girl with black hair and blue eyes, and she would be friendly, sensible and arty.Drusilla makes me think of an evil woman in a book i once rread and i'm sorry but for some reason i can't get past that. it is an ok name though.My fave is Prue, followed closely by Delaney. Then Drusilla.

- Delaney sounds borderline trendy... :\
- Prudence is sweet, but she could be teased later in life (especially if she doesn't live up to her name) Although Prue is a nice nickname.
- Drusilla makes me think of vampires for some reason. It's an okay name.

Prudence PLEASE!!! I am not the biggest fan of the name but it is far more refreshing and prettier than the other too. I would love to meet a baby Prudence. How adorable!!!

I like Delaney.
I'm not a fan of Prudence, though I do like Pru / Prue.
And I think Drusilla is horrid.

Delaney makes me think of Samuel Delany, one of my favorite authors. "Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play?" From the Beatles song Dear Prudence, which is very pretty. I don't like the name though. It makes me think of prunes and old women. Drusilla reminds me of Cruella, and Drella, a nickname for Andy Warhol. I think Delaney is my favorite.

Delaney is probably one of my least favorite names -- it just sounds so... insipid to me!I'm moderately fond of Prudence, and I love Drusilla.

Delaney sounds nice and you could have some nice nicknames (Del,Lani, Lane, ect)
Prudence is a bit stuffy but it has classDrusilla makes me think of a vampire. I wonder why..., but I do like it

I do like Delaney. I think it's quirky and spunky, but feels sophisticated at the same time. Definitely my favorite of the three.Prudence isn't bad, although I can only see it on a Puritan or maybe an old lady.Drusilla has a very ugly sound to me. And makes me think of Godzilla.

I love Delaney. Prudence and Drusilla are okay; I like the nicknames Prue and Dru (obviously not as siblings w/ those nicknames, though).

Like Delaney and Drusilla. Not very fond of Prudence.
My favourite, probably Delaney.
Drusilla makes me think of a friend I had as a student.

Delaney is my favorite. I think its such a sweet, beautiful name.
I'm partial to Prudence but only because I like Pru.
Drusilla makes me think of an evil queen or something.
