I think Drucilla/Drusilla is one of the ugliest names I have ever encountered.

I love the name Zora, though.

[sweetest-asylum.livejournal.com]

I kinda like it. it reminds me of dracula for some reason. Bertha and Buella and uglier to me.

Zora IS cute. I wondered where that came from. Zula, too. I'm assuming these aren't english names??

I'm not exactly fond of Bertha either, but I like it better than Drucilla ;) Buella is on about the same ugly-level as Drucilla for me.

I don't know about Zula, but I know Zora is popular in Eastern European countries. According to behindthename, it means 'dawn' which makes me like it even more!

It is used in English sometimes, though. I suppose Zora Neale Hurston is the most prominent example =).

I feel that way about Priscilla. Ugh!

[spaceandclouds.livejournal.com]

Oh yes. Priscilla is one of my least favorite names, too.

Last year, at my brother-in-law's wedding (held at a gazebo in a cemetery, IDEK), I saw a headstone for an infant named "Nymphette." She died in the late 1800s, I think.

/cool story, bro

Your post made me think of that.

I like Drucilla, Jacquetta, and Zula. Not my style, but they are pretty.

A wedding in a cemetery! that's awesome. memento mori! my husband and i went out on the harley last night and stopped at this cemetery. we saved another one we found for another day.

I like Zora and Basil.

I like Zora.

Drusilla makes me think of Buffy. It was always cute when they called her Dru. : )

My cat's name is Basil, so I love that. Zora is nice too. I like Sherman.
