Bianca

What do you guys think of this name? I don't hear it used very often anymore.

akoppin

I really like the name!

Notwifezilla7

I don't know why I always get a strong, b!tchy correlation with that name. It just rubs me the wrong way for some reason.

I hear it a lot.  I personally know a high schooler named Bianca and a baby named Bianca, but I also live in highly Hispanic area.

I have a bad association with the name as well.

Love it!

My new baby niece's name I like it a lot.  They are hispanic FYI.

I love Bianca- I had it on my girl long list. DH vetoed because it reminded him of the girl from the movie 10 Things I Hate About You, which his sister made him watch a lot as a teenager.

I like it a lot! Pretty and not overused. 

BLPL101

I like it. FYI: I know two and none are Hispanic.

Love it!  But I honestly thought it was Italian. I could be wrong.

One of my friends has a daughter named Bianca (age 7).  She's the only one I've ever met IRL.  She is very bright and spunky, so that's what I associate it with.

It's very pretty. 

I know a local bumpie with a daughter named Bianca.

It is. It's of Italian and Romanian origin.

I like it! It was on my list, but DH nixed it.

this name screams Biitch to me.  Sorry.

this name screams Biitch to me.  Sorry.

A few people have said this...I wonder why. It sounds stronger  and not necessarily as feminine as other names, but I've never run into a reason to associate it in this way.

It may just be because of an association with a person I knew in college.  But I also think it sounds kinda whiney and nasaly.  Maybe that's just the way I say it in my head!!

I think there is a reason that you don't hear it too often, it's not good.

I get that vibe too.

I do know a Bianca IRL though who is pretty cool so I'm not sure why it rubs me that way. 

Cranang

I love it, but our last name starts with a "b" so it sounded too alliterative.

Fink

I like it a lot.  Its uncommon and not uber feminine (which are two of my criteria when picking a girl name). 

 

FWIW, I definitely don't think it sounds bitchy at all.  (In fact, I'm not really sure how a name can sound bitchy unless you know someone with the name who is bitchy)

Disney's 'Rescuers'

and 'The Taming of the Shrew'.

 

It's definitely NMS...

jolynn326

It's NMS, but I have no issues with it.

I used to regularly watch All My Children. Erica Kane's daughter's name was Bianca. The shows not on anymore so maybe people won't make the association. But when I hear the name, that's the first thing I think about with the crazy soap opera story lines.

MandyWes

I really dislike Bianca for some reason. I just spelled it Binaca 3 times before getting it right too, lol

misskaydee

I love it! dh vetoed it though.

This.  It's kind of sad, but yeah, not a fan.

Exactly this.  I have no idea why I feel this way, but I do.

How odd. Hmmm...I guess some names just do that to people. Usually it's a negative correlation between a name and a person with whom we have had a negative experience.
