Hi,
What do you think of a name Bianca please? Is it so bad as I heard from someone? Apparently it is spoiled by a tv character which I don't watch.
I love the name, in my country it is spelled Bianka. Do you think I should go for it or give up?

I like it!

It's one of those names, like Sabrina, that can seem really classy depending on your associations or really unclassy. I like it and think if you love it you should go for it. I think your child having an Eastern European (?) parent/s will make a difference, make it seem more Euro cool than Walford cool. I quite liked Bianca Jackson anyway Grin

Fine if not in the UK but 'Biaaaaaanca!' and 'Riiiiiickyyyy!' will haunt me forever.

I think it's fine if you're not in the UK. Good luck.

I always wanted to be called Bianca when I was growing up I think it’s a beautiful name but I would think 99% of people are going to think of Bianca in Eastenders shouting Rickaaaaaaaaay

Yeh I’m sorry Eastenders has ruined that name for me forever.
It’s actually a lovely name and used in The Taming of the Shrew but I can’t get past the Eastenders thing I’m afraid

In Italy its relatively posh, I really like it, and I don't think her peers will know the eastenders characters.

Ohyesiam · 27/06/2019 19:45

To me it’s the opposite of classy.

Sooooozie · 27/06/2019 19:43

Absolutely love it. Classy and unusual.

saywhatwhatnow · 27/06/2019 19:41

It is the name of a very popular tv soap character.

It's not very popular irl though, I know one in her 30s, so go for it!

Like it. Very unusual but nice and classic. Never met one.
