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.

There was a mouse called Miss Bianca in one of my favourite childhood books, so I used to love the name. I still like it, and think it's far prettier than Hermione.

Was that The Rescuers?

HoratioNightboy · 04/10/2016 18:04

Yes, it was! The first time I'd ever heard the name. Smile

originalmavis · 04/10/2016 18:05

And she wore a big coat with a furcollar and furry hat.

Bianca is nicer than hermione and kids she goes to school with won't know bianca from EE but they probably will read/watch Harry Potter

HoratioNightboy · 04/10/2016 18:12

Are you perhaps thinking of the film version originsalmavis? I was too old for it by the time they did a film version but in the book I think she only had a gold chain round her neck.

Or maybe I'm just getting old... I can't even remember the name of the prisoner they were trying to rescue.

originalmavis · 04/10/2016 18:13

She was naked????? Eek!

HoratioNightboy · 04/10/2016 18:16

They all were! The book was so much better - Disney ruin everything, in my opinion. Sad

Obliviated · 04/10/2016 18:18

Ziva is totally from NCIS. I thought she was brilliant.

Wasn't Bianca a mouse?

PigletWasPoohsFriend · 04/10/2016 18:22

Heroine is much better than Bianca.I now have riiicccckkkkyyyyy going through my head

hollyisalovelyname · 04/10/2016 18:29

I know a Bianca. Nothing like the Eastenders character. A tall, beautiful, gentle, willowy blonde.

AmeliaJack · 04/10/2016 18:35

I don't think the Eastenders thing is a problem.

Call your DD what you and your DP like.

BuggertheTabloids · 04/10/2016 18:54

Hermione is so much better, stick with it!

PotteringAlong · 04/10/2016 18:55

Do NOT change from hermione to boa can!

PotteringAlong · 04/10/2016 18:56

Boa can?! Bianca!

strawberrypenguin · 04/10/2016 18:57

I like Hermione and Bianca. You can absolutely change if you want to. What does she suit best and what does your DP think (if you have one)

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 04/10/2016 19:11

Hermione is beautiful.
Bianca is also nice.
Ziva, not so much.
Call your daughter, the name of your choice.

Hermione Bianca
Bianca Hermione
Hermione Ziva

NapQueen · 04/10/2016 19:13

Hermione is the best of the three.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 04/10/2016 19:54

If you really like it, then. Now is the chance to go through for it. You may not have another girl.
Yes okay. There is the EastEnders association, but so what. What name hasn't got an association.

EllenDegenerate · 04/10/2016 19:57

Call her Bianca. It's lovely, Bianca Jagger springs to mind, gorgeous.

Hermione is almost as cliche as Elodie imo

MotherDuckSaid · 04/10/2016 19:58

I love Hermione, my dd's bestie is called this and they call her Minnie as a nn . She is cuuuuute!
Eastenders has forever ruined Bianca for me.. Ziva is horrible, sorry !!

Cluesue · 04/10/2016 20:01

Bianca-instantly think Eastenders
Hermione is lovely
Love Ziva because of the character from Ncis

wesH · 05/10/2016 11:25

It's a bit late to be thinking of possible popular media references with regards to your child's name considering 'Hermione'.

babyblabber · 05/10/2016 11:30

Bianca is lovely and totally under used!
