Re: Bianca, Belinda, Blanche
in reply to a message by Billina
I like the sound of Belinda best, I'd rather be a Belinda, so I'd use that. It's antique like Mabel, but it's prettier. A little fluffy too - it's more like Melody than like Melinda, in my mind.
Blanche in English is too ugly - I guess it's nicer in French. I just don't really like the sound either way though.
Bianca - well, I like it better than Belinda on paper, but in real life I would not use it. It seems a little too 'foreign' for me to use (like it's clearly a form of Blanche, so for me it'd be like using Giovanna instead of Joanna). Also I once heard a girl being addressed as Bianca, and my reaction was to think it sounds a little bit princessy. Like Angelica. Nice names but I think they sound stuck up.
