Blanch is okay. Blanch Adele is the best of your combos.

I think of blanched vegetables and fruits

Blanche is so ugly. If it's pronounced the English way, it's ripping fabric (or flatulance); if it's pronounced the French way, it's a flushing toilet. It's even too ugly for me, and I am a strong advocate of ugly names.

Anyway, I suppose I'd be refreshed to meet one, though Bianca is my favorite of the Blanche/Blanca/Bianca bunch. I like all of your combos a lot except Celeste, which is /incredibly/ trashy to me becuase of all the sticky s's.

Blanche is used quite often in my French-speaking area. Frequently in combination, as, Marie-Blanche.

It's interesting that you should have the names Blanche, Adele and Rosamund together because they're the names of three characters in Charlotte Bronte's novel Jane Eyre (just wondering if that's how you came across them ^_^).

Blanche is OK. I used to like it, but it's meaning as a verb puts me off a bit. Blanca isn't as bad; it's quite pretty, actually. The best combo on your list is: Blanche Adele and Blanche Viola.

Blanche is not very attractive at all to me. First of all, it's about 80 years past its best-by date. And the sound itself just... yuck. Blanch means either to turn pale or to soak vegetables or fruit i boiling water before you peel or freeze them.

I kind of like it, along with Blanca. Can't stand Bianca though, I'm glad you didn't mention it, heh.

Anyway, I like really like Blanche Ione (or Ione Blanche) and Blanche Viola. :)

I don't really like it at all to be honest. If I was picking a name from your list I would pick Blanche Viola.
