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

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

Truly, truly awful.

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.

RIICCKKKYYY!!

Avocadosontoast · 06/02/2020 14:01

Who is Ricky?

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).

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.

SquigglePigs · 06/02/2020 14:04

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

74NewStreet · 06/02/2020 14:27

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

FluffyEggsontoast · 06/02/2020 15:01

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

GaraMedouar · 06/02/2020 15:19

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

Saaf Lahndon. It rhymes in mine. #CroydonForever

BobbyBlueCat · 06/02/2020 15:36

I don't like it.

Dated, but not in a good way.

drumandthebass · 06/02/2020 15:49

I just wanted to say Rickaaaay too

Whatsyourflava · 06/02/2020 19:26

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

lunasunshine · 06/02/2020 19:29

I love it!

MocholateMousse · 06/02/2020 19:30

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!

Chocolatedaim · 06/02/2020 19:32

Bianca Wanker to me too and I’m from the North East.

MrsTerryPratchett · 06/02/2020 19:34

Wanker is wang-ah in my accent (sort of) and Bianca is similar.

GoodnightJude1 · 06/02/2020 19:37

I think of my mums dog....

Then silver puffa jackets and ‘Rickaaaaaaay’

Other than that, it’s lovely! Grin

Ontheblackhill · 06/02/2020 19:41

Bee anchor is lovely on a Spanish/latino child but you just cant do it in the UK thanks to Eastenders. Bit like Benedict in the USA. Lovely name in the UK but over there it has negative connotations...

Sexnotgender · 06/02/2020 19:42

Really not a fan, sorry.

Tombliwho · 06/02/2020 19:55

Its awful. I dont think it will escape the Eastenders thing for many many years yet. And in my accent it rhymes with wanker too.

Boireannachlaidir · 06/02/2020 20:02

Biancaaaah

(Just no).

AlpacaGoodnight · 07/02/2020 11:31

Not keen!
