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

I pronounce it bee-anchor but I recently met a bianca, who in their accent (Dutch I think) it's bee-onka 🤷

South East person here and Bianca absolutely rhymes with wanker.

Unless you're my son who watched far too much Pokemon and insists on Bee-ahrn-ca. Might as well just be running his nails down a blackboard.

Beautiful name, lovely meaning, classic. Makes me think of Shakespeare

For an Italian woman I think it’s lovely. I think the name itself is pretty.
In U.K. I think EastEnders. Then I’d assume the parents were quite young (not sure why!). It’s a bit dated here (? Not sure about this.
Met a Dutch woman recently called this. It seemed so odd - she was older (50s) and very dark haired and for some reason I kept think how the name didn’t sit right on her - for me.
Think it a very particular name which in many contexts just isn’t ‘right’.
I actually like it in itself - think only in Italian context.

Another vote for Rickaaaaaay!

Shame - it's a great name in other ways. How about Blanca? In many ways she's the heroine of Orange is the New Black, although it's admittedly a weird journey to get there Wink

It rhymes with wanker here in Italy too.
It's not classy.

I really hate it, sorry!

I also think Rickaaaaay.

And, related, that bloody awful padded metallic jacket she wore every day for years when she came back to the programme.

Plus, how does it rhyme with walker? I've been trying and all I'm doing is saying Bjork.

I think of the female mouse inThe rescuers which was my favourite film as a child. So i like it but I do think the EE connection will be on peoples minds,

MrsP2015 · 05/03/2020 00:46

Eastenders firstly...

Secondly it was the name of a cute little girl in the nursery when I was year 6 and suited her perfect.

Buttybach · 05/03/2020 00:48

Del Rio!

stretchytiger · 07/03/2020 03:10

I don't know Eastenders so I really like it!
One of my students is a Bianca and has Bibi as a nickname...

Rainbowqueeen · 07/03/2020 03:23

I love it

Don’t connect it with anyone or anything either

Classic, not common and won’t date

WanderingTrolley1 · 07/03/2020 03:43

I think cheap and tacky.

CuppaZa · 07/03/2020 03:45

Another one who instantly thinks of Rickaaaaay and wanker Blush
