Is it too much? It's a family name and I would never have dreamt of it but I heard the NN Cilla recently and I kinda love it. I just know I'd never use the full name, which bothers me.
You said you'd never dreamt of using it and you would never use the full name. I think you answered your own question! Also, what if someday she'd ask you how she got her name, and you said, "well, it's a family name, and I didn't love it at first..."---and even if you grew to love it---wouldn't this be an awkward thing to disclose?
Thanks ladies. It would be predicated on using the full name so I think you are right- I answered my own question. So I may have to leave this one for another relative to attempt!
It sounds prissy to me. Cilla sounds nice, but there would be lots of times people call her by the full name. Think of things like having her name called in the doctors waiting room, filling out documents, teachers calling attendance on the first day of school, etc. If you dislike "Priscilla" in these types of situations, don't use it. PP suggestion of Cecilia nn Cilla is a good idea.
