Love this baby name, it’s not common in my location.

I say it Bee-ank-a, too.

How are others pronouncing it?!

I’ve only ever know one and she was a beautiful Italian girl. I really like it, but yes...Rickaaaay!

lunasunshine · 06/02/2020 19:29

I love it!

Whatsyourflava · 06/02/2020 19:26

I think I’ve been saying Bianca wrong as it rhymes with wanker the way I say it

drumandthebass · 06/02/2020 15:49

I just wanted to say Rickaaaay too

BobbyBlueCat · 06/02/2020 15:36

I don't like it.

Dated, but not in a good way.

MrsTerryPratchett · 06/02/2020 15:26

What sort of accent have you got that you can make Bianca rhyme with wanker, Gara?!

Saaf Lahndon. It rhymes in mine. #CroydonForever

GaraMedouar · 06/02/2020 15:19

I say "Bee - anchor". Is that wrong? How is it pronounced then?

FluffyEggsontoast · 06/02/2020 15:01

I think it rhymes with walker too?! Doesn’t it?

SquigglePigs · 06/02/2020 14:04

As long as you love it (and your DP/DH) that's all that matters.

GaraMedouar · 06/02/2020 14:02

I love the name. But Eastenders , and it rhymes with wanker, which means I wouldn't ever actually use it.

Mamabear88 · 06/02/2020 14:01

I absolutely love it. It was my first choice for my DD but I got put off by all the chavvy / Eastenders comments (I don't watch it myself so wasn't aware of this character).

Avocadosontoast · 06/02/2020 14:01

Who is Ricky?

Ukholidaysaregreat · 06/02/2020 13:58

RIICCKKKYYY!!

Avocadosontoast · 06/02/2020 13:56

Bianca is a pretty name that sounds great in most languages!

I've never watched Eastenders. People will quickly lose any old associations as they meet a little Bianca.

74NewStreet · 06/02/2020 13:54

Truly, truly awful.

Omashu · 06/02/2020 13:53

I immediately though if my favourite drag queen Bianca del Rio! ❤️ Not fussed on the name though.

Urkiddingright · 06/02/2020 13:24

Eastenders, sorry.

KatyaZamolodchikova · 05/02/2020 11:35

Don’t watch Eastenders, but I immediately thought of Bianca Del Rio, Comedy Drag Queen.

Not today Satan, not today.

user1493494961 · 05/02/2020 11:33

I've never watched Eastenders but it was my first thought (Bianca Jagger second). Much nicer names to choose from.

Shev1996 · 05/02/2020 03:39

Sorry even asking us not to think of EE it still makes me think of her yelling Ricky...

Bluerussian · 05/02/2020 03:36

I too thought of EE but am old enough to remember Mick Jagger marrying his first wife, from Nicaragua, who is called Bianca.

In real life I've known two Biancas, one is a singer and the other a hair stylist.

Don't think I'd choose that name for my child.

Zippetydoodahzippetyay · 05/02/2020 02:29

I like it. I had it on our list but my husband sadly vetoed it 😢

OlaEliza · 05/02/2020 02:18

What about Anneka instead? Much prettier.

MrsTerryPratchett · 05/02/2020 01:28

Rickaaaay

But also it means White. I mean blah.
