Prissy could be a nickname for Prisca, Priscillia, Proserpine, Proserpina and Persephone.

I'm a Priscila and I chose "Prissy" as my nickname. I think it's pretty as a nickname and that it's very underrated on this page.

Uh, no way. I wouldn't suggest this at all, especially if your child is not Prissy.

What a ridiculous name!

What an embarrassing name.

Stick with Priscilla or Primrose.

Prissy may mean 100% feminine boys or girls, but I dislike the way it sounds, not a good name. This would be a name parents would put on kids to teach them to be weak and defenseless, when kids should be noble and graceful. Prissy sounds way tooooo much like a slang for my likings.

Prissy Andrews is one of Anne's classmates. She has an affair with Mr. Phillips, their former teacher. (Rainbow Valley)

I feel sorry for anyone with this name, it brings to mind the word, and I don't understand why someone would call a child this!

A ridiculous, embarrassing and God-awful name to bear. D:

Poor kid. Some people don't want their kids to be successful, well adjusted adults with beautiful childhood memories. Name your kid 'Prissy' and tell me you're not a sociopath.

Sounds like something you'd name your chihuahua.

At least we know that she'll be meticulous and fussy, constantly primping and such... but then she'll lie about her midwife skills.

I don't like this name. The word comes to mind first, and next the slave from Gone with the Wind. I can just hear Prissy talking in a high-pitched voice. That's why I can't picture any Priscilla, except maybe a very, very old one, going by Prissy.

OK, seriously, people? Prissy?

Prissy Andrews is a character in L. M. Montgomery's novel "Anne of Green Gables."

Prissy is the name of Scarlett's slave in Gone with the Wind.
