Bianca is a name I think of often but don't like enough to put on my name list.

---

I love to see it on other people. I like the name's image in my head, which is a punky / preppy chick who likes to pair pleated plaid skirts with fishnet tights and dock martin boots.

I think the only reason it's not on my list is that I prefer unmistakably feminine names on girls. I don't think Bianca is masculine at all, but it has a stately sound that is not my style, sort of like Millicent or Bernadette. I like the idea of both names and even had Millicent on my name list once, but removed it because never in a million years would I actually use it on a child of mine.
