Last chance to change my daughter's name to Bianca

I just love the name Bianca. We have named her already but she isn't officially registered.

People will immediately think of Eastenders though won't they? Or has long enough passed?

She also seems to have red hair which won't help the association.

Agree that Hermoine is much nicer than Bianca.

Keep her name as it is!!
Please!!

I'm sure she will make the name her own regardless of what you call her. All the people in her life will think of her when they hear the name, rather than Eastenders or Harry Potter or whatever.

Bianca is lovely and doesn't make me think of eastenders. Hermione on the other hand just makes me think you're huge HP fans.

Hermione is SO much nicer to my ear.

Like Ziva too, but the only one I know is a labrador.

Really dislike Biancacaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa (and I've never even watched Eastenders)

I do like Hermione though, although obviously as a child I thought it was said 'Her -miown'.

Riiiiiiickaaaaaaaaaaay!

Ziva reminds me of the Zika virus.

Keep Hermione!

KoalaDownUnder · 04/10/2016 16:10

Hermione is a squillion times nicer than Bianca.

Bountybarsyuk · 04/10/2016 16:10

I saw the name Bianca on this thread and didn't think of Eastenders, at least not til someone mentioned it. I think it's a pretty name. Far far nicer than some of the trendy names listed on here all the time (Edna etc).

Hermione, which I also love. I have no idea where the Bianca thing has come from. My other option is Ziva.

HettyB · 04/10/2016 16:07

I don't hate Bianca... What's your daughter currently called?

DocMcFanjo · 04/10/2016 16:06

I think Eastenders too.

Also seeing it written down I think "biatch". SorryBlush

PotatoBread · 04/10/2016 16:04

Yep, Eastenders even though I haven't watched it in years. Not even Jagger can convince me it's a nice name. Really don't like it. What is your DD currently called?

The red-headed screeching banshee in Eastenders 😟
Each to their own I guess!

KoalaDownUnder · 04/10/2016 16:00

Well, I wouldn't think Eastenders because I've never seen it, but I need to know what you're changing it from before I can comment!
