HelpBianca, but I think it sounds bratty (m)
in reply to a message by Norah
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.
