This name is really starting to grow on me. Wdyt? It's very uncommon where I live, and I think it has a distinct, beautiful sound. Let me know what you think.

Do you believe?

I've never cared for the "onk" sound in the middle. :-/ But I'd be happy to see a Bianca, it's a nice and underused name.

I have liked Bianca for a long time, ever since I was little actually. This is gonna sound silly but I remember hearing it on a (I think it is Disney) movie named "The Rescuers" and the sequel "The Rescuers Down Under." If you don't like that association than I guess steer clear of the name, otherwise it is beautiful and I love it!

I love Bianca. It's not that common of a name as you said. Plus it sounds very strong yet feminine. I like it as a middle name as well.

Yes it is pretty and also uncommon here in Australia too. I think this name is ripe for revival.

I must say that it is a pretty name. But I have terrible association.

I have never know not one nice Bianca, I have known around 5, all b*tches.

It's been growing on me lately. Sometimes I like it and sometimes I hate it. It's a nice name, but the AHNK/ONK sound is a little ugly to me.

See, that's so odd to me. I hear that about it a lot, but I just don't hear it! It must be a regional thing, because where I live it's only ever prounounced like Bee-ahn-kah.

Well, actually...(m)

I say bee-AHNK-kah as well. I guess my phonetic spelling is lousy. I'll fix it!

No - the 'K' sound isn't in the same syllable as the 'ahn' sound. It's kind of like Bee-on-kah.

I love Bianca, just because it sounds like such a strong name to me; it stands out for some reason. I might use it in the future. =]

Bianca's actually pretty common where I'm from, but I still like it a lot. A very feminine and beautiful Italian name.

People, in general, would rather die than forgive. It's that hard. If God said in plain language, "I'm giving you a choice, forgive or die," a lot of people would just go ahead and order their coffin.

I love Bianca! I have it on my Loooong list, but it doesn't go with any of my other faves.

Nobody sings a love song quite like you do
And nobody else can make me sing along
Nobody else can make me feel
That things are right when I know they're wrong
Nobody sings a love
