Bianca, but I think it sounds bratty

---

It's a shame, cos it's fundamentally a nice name. But it has a spoilt-little-rich-girl feel to me I can't shake off.

---

Edited to add - that I pronounce it Bee-ANN-ka. I really dislike Bee-ON-ka though I know it's the American norm. "Onk" just isn't a pleasant sound to my ears. Incidentally the name, in standard Italian, is not pronounced "onk". It is a short "a" sound. "Onk" is something the US accent has done to it, for the worse imo.

Bianca is adorable. Sorry, I don't care for the others at all.

Branca, but

it's my favorite because of how much I like Branka. They're not related but I say them the same way, so same effect. :-)

I'm currently liking Bianca, but it's a bit too frilly for me to use (plus the "onk" sound is a turn off). I think the only reason I've started liking it is that I'm currently obsessed with "All My Children" and I really like the character of Bianca--and her nn is Binks, which is too cute. :b

As for the others, Blanche and Blanca are nice but not huge faves.

Bianca - its really growing on my lately as well.

Bianca, though I'm not crazy about any of them

I like Bianca and Blanca

Every Bianca I've known has been loud, chubby, and annoying, not to mention they have to let everyone know their Italian. I swear, I've personally known three, and they've all been like that. Blanca is really sweet and I love the sound. Branca is pretty too.

I love Bianca, though I like Bionna too. I saw it on a girl (who was of Middle Eastern descent) who spelled it Biana. But Bianca's definitely, in my opinion, the best of the bunch.

I really dislike Bianca. For whatever reason, I associate it with a very arrogant little brat. My favorite of these(though I don't particularly like any of them) is Blanche with the French prn.

Bianca or Blanca

I love Bianca and Blanche, but only Blanche with the French pronounciation.

Bianca.

Bionna - I've no idea how pronunce this.
Blanca - all I hear is the word blank
Blanka - Blank is too noticiable
Branca doesn't really
Blanche maes me think of this: the word Blanch: to make pale, as with sickness or fear: The long illness had blanched her cheeks of their natural color.

Sorry!

Bianca is the best to me.

Bianca is the only one I like, though Blanca and Bianka aren't terrible. Branca reminds me of bronco, Bionna looks made up, and Blanche just sounds bad to me.

I really don't like Bianca, I don't know why, I only know I've disliked it for quite a while now. Of those names I like Bionna best.
