Re: Bianca, Irena, and Nadine
in reply to a message by Joiya
1. I really like Irene, pronounced the usual English way as Eye-REEN. Makes a very nice middle name, especially. Not as sold on Irena or Irina, and definitely, in the US the Italian pronunciation of Irene would be problematic.
2. Don't like Bianca at all, it has a very trashy, cheap vibe to it for me, and I don't like the ahnk sound. Blanca is somewhat prettier.
3. Nadine is pretty too, pronounced the usual way of Nay-DEEN. It does seem to fit nicely with Clarisse. I don't know why but Clarice/Clarisse and Nadine as a pair seems familiar to me, though I can't think where I might have encountered it.
I think, therefore I judge.
