I love Irene with three syllables, and find it disappointing that most Irene people settle for two. Irena is new to me, though I am familiar with Irina - different origin, pretty well the same sound. If I used it, it'd be a mn and I'd think very seriously about spelling it Eirene.

Bianca is nicer than Blanche. I don't like it much, and the only one I've ever known has ruined it for me. But as a mn, why not?

Nadine seems flat and bland and dated to me - sorry! I much prefer the pleasantly floral Nerine.
