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

Came on to say Rickaaay! And I haven't watched Eastenders in more than 20 years!

It's an automatic response: Bianca.....RICKAAAY!!!

It's a lovely name, but I think the East Enders connection is hard to ignore.

We had a Spanish babysitter called Bianca and I prefer the Spanish pronunciation, least of all because it does not rhyme with wanker.

I think of Italy and the Shakespeare character.

Rhymes with w*nker

After EastEnders I think of Taming of the Shrew, but that may be less of an issue!

FrogsFrogs · 04/02/2020 23:29

My first thought was jagger.

Even though I grew up with EastEnders!

It's a name that feels like a lot to live up to, somehow.

Have just Googled Patsy Palmer and apparently she did another stint as Bianca from 2008-14 and a short reappearance last year. If you watch EastEnders then she’s still pretty current! Surely must be a lot less people watching it now, though.

I've never watched Eastenders and I don't like the name at all. Sorry.

Maybe, I should ask what do you think of the name Bianca whilst trying not to think of Eastenders Grin

I thought of Eastenders but I think it's lovely and in time people won't make the connection.

My first bike was a Raleigh Bianca. Purple and lilac with a cool little bag on the back.

Eastenders ruined that memory for me!

Definitely EastEnders.

Gran22 · 04/02/2020 23:18

East Enders. Sorry.

EyUpDuck12 · 04/02/2020 23:17

Yep, Eastenders

Extracurricularfatigue · 04/02/2020 23:17

Rickaaaay!
