Bianca - opinions please

[awuszka]

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, and I'm British and couldn't care less about the Eastenders character.

Surely the RICKAAAAAY thing is long gone and will be irrelevant for anyone remotely close to her age? It's such a lovely name. Use it!

Bibi or Bee is a cute nickname too.

I quite like it but pronounced Bee-ank-ahh as opposed to the awful American version of Bee-Onk-err

I’m in my early thirties and I know of the Rickaaaay thing but I don’t actually remember it as such (if that makes any sense at all?!).

No one her age will know and half the parents won’t know or remember. It’s a lovely name.

I would pronounce more like 'Bee-yanka', the polish way. I'm not sure how to write this sound down to be honest

Yes, I'm Polish. I really don't like Katarzyna;) so overused, too popular. Bianka is not common in Poland at all.
But yes, we live in the UK

Just be warned OP the character Bianca is re joining Eastenders shortly apparently, so the association with that character will continue. If you name your child Bianca please whatever you do, do not let her wear a silver puffa jacket!

Makes me think of the well behaved daughter from taming of the shrew. Lovely sound though.

RICKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!

Lovely but there's the EastEnders association.

RICKKKKKKAAAAAAYYYYY

Honestly? I just think of Patsy Palmer and hear it the way it sounded when it was screeched across Albert square lol

No it’s so harsh sounding, like Ulrika. Bianca just doesn’t do it for me at all. But you know what they say, different strokes for different folks
