That's a tricky surname to work with. I feel like it needs an extra-quirky and interesting first name!

I too think you can go more quirky or frilly if that’s your style.

With Bland as a surname I think you you have to go a bit strong and spicy with a first name.

Pretty much everything works with Bland. Except maybe Jane Bland. Oh or Ida Bland.
