Bianca

Sorry, don't like it. People at school call me this by mistake when my name starts with Bri and ends with na, and that's why i hate the name; grinds my gears a lot.
There is also a person at my school called this.

It's relatively common, I'm not really a fan, it's not that exotic, this was going to be my name.

It's the perfect combination, strong and feminine all at the same time.

I have a character named Bianca. She’s very nerdy and as a Shakespearean name, I think it suits her very nicely. The comment below describes her very nicely, too, if you have it on newest first.

Fierce, feisty, and beautiful. Bianca is a passionate young woman determined to make her mark in this world.

I don’t care if this name isn’t English, it’s lovely and should be used in English-speaking countries, pronounced in the Romanian way.

I find the name so lovely that I used it in the creation of my first ever sim in The Sims 4, who is actually named Bianca Black.

Outdated!

Bianca is a pretty solid name. It has some pretty uncommon sounds that other names don’t have. I like this name; it’s very pretty.

Sounds like the name of a mean girl in my opinion.

Another perfect name! I think it's pretty sweet and goes with the flow, not common so it's really cool.

It has a bewitching beauty that I love so much.

I think this name sounds prettier than the French meaning “Blanche”, but the meaning is far more boring. It’s a beautiful exotic sound for the full word meaning “White” in Italian.

My name is Bianca, and I have always kind of been insecure about my name because I think people will make an assumption about me that isn’t true. No one has ever said they dislike the name, I just feel like they do. But over time, I started to accept the name and now I really like it!

This name reminds me of binaca.

I prefer Blanka or Blanca to Bianca, just my opinion.

Ghetto American. What kind of mother names her daughter "white"? It is like some other horrid names like Ebony. It also sounds horrible with ANKA at the end is so heavy and awkward and not feminine at all.

What a beautiful name! Suits all ages. And let me tell you: I sure do love Bianca Pizza!

I love this name! It's so lively, yet strange at the same time. I have a relative name Bianca and the name fits her perfectly.

This name is beautiful and quite edgy at the same time. When I hear this name, all I can imagine is a kind-hearted, caring and courageous girl who is never afraid to stand up for what's right.

Pretty name.

It's a gorgeous Shakespearean name. I love it.

I think this name is great! I get compliments all the time having this name. It's simple and elegant. My friends call me bia for short sometimes. You don't hear it much in the USA, which I adore. I am Romanian though and do hear it a lot, but not too much to where it's overused. If you have this name you are blessed :)

I'm Italian and I really like the name Bianca, I find it elegant, romantic and delicate and it makes me think about Snow White, the fairy tale princess (in Italian Snow White is called Biancaneve).

I have met a lot of girls from Romania with this name. I like the nickname B or Bambi.
I think this name would suit better a newborn with pale skin (since it has this meaning). I think it's easy to pronounce this name.

Looks pretty on paper, but sounds rather trashy out loud.

I'm a triplet and this is one of my sister's names- it's Bianca, Savannah and me, Lucina, my parents like names that end with a.

Bianca is a lovely name, and I think it sounds much prettier and more lively than Blanche. Its meaning makes me think of snow and I think it'd make a great name for a girl born in winter.

My name is Bianca, and I love my name, it is a short and lovely name, I don't know why there are so many comments that it was trashy or bitchy.

Sorry, to anyone who has this name I’m sure you're a nice person but... I really hate this name, it reminds me of a stuck up rich girl.

I think the name Bianca is okay but I personally don't like the "ca" sound in it and I don't look like a Bianca at all even all of my friends told me that. I have wavy dirty blond hair and a warm skin tone and that doesn't fit the description of Bianca at all. The name also seems a bit annoying to me and whenever my family members say my name they say it like they are whining. I also don't act like a Bianca at all. My parents were going to name me Sylvia or Ariana and I think one of those names would fit much better.

I know a Bianca whose name is never mispelled and always said right. It can work I think.

Bianca Kajlich is an actress.

I recently named my daughter Bianca. I wanted to avoid the soft names, and find one with some harder consonants... For short we often call her anKa, or Little B, or B'lou (Her middle name is Louise) :)

My name is. Bianca as well. I find it hard to say my name and also awkward to say it. I say it like this "Biyanca" I do not have any difficulties with talking just can introduce myself without being conscious that they would laugh at me. I hate my name. I don't get how people like it, it always feels like I'm left out because it sounds like I'm foreign.

Honestly, this name sounds bitchy to me.

Bianca is one of the most pretty names I have ever heard. I used to hate my name so much, but now I love it!

My name is Bianca. I have very little Italian in me. I am mostly Irish and Puerto Rican. Yes, there are others of all different races out there named Bianca. I know an African American named Bianca, one that is Japanese, and one that is full Irish. I like my name, when I was born it was considered a really different name in my city. Now it has made its way all over. My mother was going to call me Destiny but went with Bianca instead. I'm grateful she did. I don't like the name Destiny at all. I think it's a unique name, not trashy. It's beautiful and elegant.

My mom's sister Sheila has a 7-year-old daughter named Bianca, but I still can't picture it working well on a white girl.

In my whole lifetime no one ever has said anything about my name but to tell me it's beautiful. It is very ironic that I'm whiter than my twin. I have only met one Bianca in my life and seen the name in a story twice. It is unique and elegant. It may be because I have a Spanish accent while saying it but it is a lovely name. The only downsides are the nicknames.

Bianca is a lovely name and the assumptions that these girls called Bianca have big boobs and can't keep their boyfriends are rubbish.

Hi, my name is Bianca and I respectfully disagree that some people say it is a trashy name. I find that a little bit offensive because I am a very neat and intelligent woman. I also take it as very offensive that some people say it reminds them of a b****y snob so don't criticize about mine and many others names.

This name is lovely, in every way. I love Shakespeare, I also love Italian names. It's pure and a seemly innocent name for a beautiful girl. However, sometimes people with this name aren't exactly the nicest, but it is still a graceful name. When I have a daughter, her name might be Bianca Marie. I love the nickname Bambi, but not so much Bia.

Bianca... what a nice name! So pretty and sophisticated :)

Hm... well, I don't know about elsewhere, but here in the UK, this name IS seen as very chavvy and trashy. The character in Shakespeare was basically a prostitute, so I don't really see this as a positive connotation...

I like the name Bianca, not one of my favourites but..
I really hate it when people create a parody of it, such as bionca. I hate that.

I used to HATE this name, but after reading the Percy Jackson series, I like it!

I love this name, not only does it sound pretty but it's my sweetheart's name.

I have a friend named Bianca. She told our lunch group a little story: I don't remember the circumstance, but she met an Italian guy and he said "Oh, your name's Bianca; you must be Italian!" She replied "No, I'm not." "Yes, you are!" the man continued to insist. The exchange went on like that until one of them gave up or left, I don't remember. Then she said to us, "Some people from foreign countries just don't understand that in America, we use other countries' names, and we don't have to be Italian or whatever to have Italian names."

At first I thought Bianca sounded sort of harsh, but it's grown on me. I especially like Bianca Rose, because I like white roses which are so fragrant. Bella Bianca Rosa, "Beautiful White Rose!" I still haven't warmed up to the anc sound, though. When I first met my friend named Bianca I thought it sounded ghetto, probably because ghetto names are more common than Italian names in my area, and the anc sound. Then I remembered that in ancient Egyptian, "ankh" meant life (anc would be the ultra-anglicized pronunciation). So I would give my daughter the middle name of Biankha, but it looks, seems, and is a terrible modern kre8tiv misspelling, and I never like it when people do that. All in all, a lovely name.

Personally I like the name Bianca. It certainly has an exotic but refined sound. The only problem is it's not a name that can be easily used in the USA. I once went to school with a girl named Bianca and she was often teased by kids and adults. Her name was also misspelled a lot. Even with all that, I still like the name.

I think that this name is very pretty and gorgeous.

Recently, this has become my new favorite name (I change my favorite names a lot) and I don't know why. I always used to hate it, but now, I think it's lovely! I think it's because it sounds so feminine, yet strong at the same time :D

I don't like it! The "-ka" sound is really harsh and mean sounding.

I saw the most ironic and unintentionally hilarious use of this name on the Maury show some years back. A very dark-skinned man was denying he was the father of his very fair-skinned ex-girlfriend's very fair-skinned baby because she was too light. (She did turn out to be his.) The baby's name was Bianca, which literally means "white." Did the young lady not know what her daughter's name meant, and how funny that would look in light of her situation?

This is really chavvy/trashy in some countries. The equivalent of using Brandy or Sharlene. It's strange how a nice Italian name could be considered trashy elsewhere.

I LOVE this name. I love the Shakespeare connection and I like the way it rolls off my tongue. For nicknames, you could use "Bink" or "Bee." Ahhh, I just love this name. :)

In response to the person who said this name is "chavvy", I don't think it is. It's a traditional Italian name and I really like it.

Annoying and chavvy name.

Well this is my name, my father, being a big fan of the Rolling Stones and rock n' roll in general, named me after Bianca Jagger, who I believe, was Mick Jagger's first wife? I love my name, I love the fact that it has to do with the Rolling Stones, since I am a big fan of classic rock n' roll thanks to my father. :)

Ugly, ugly, ugly. Not only is this name harsh sounding, it's one of the most unfeminine names I've ever heard. It's also a bit of a tongue twister for other little kids to pronounce. Please think twice before naming your daughter this.

For me, Bianca is the most beautiful female name in the world. It is my wife's name. Oddly, she was born in Den Hauge, but her family vacationed in Italy and picked up the name there. I think mostly she likes her name, but if you call our house and cannot pronounce her name correctly, you cannot talk to her. =) The only thing the name lacks is a nickname. A lot of her friends simply call her "B" because you just cannot shorten Bianca.

Sounds like the name of a breath spray once marketed in the US! Still, I like the sound of it and it's better than Alba, which is another name that means "white".

When I was younger I didn't like my name. I always said I'm gonna change it when I get older. But now I like it. My name is GLAMOROUS!

Bianca is a (I like to call) FUN name!

My impression on the name Bianca is a very nice one. I have a cousin named Bianca. The name Bianca kind of wraps around me. It is a very elegant name and very rarely used now these days. Bianca is only used on females or that is at least what I've heard. I think it is a great name and to all you Bianca's you are fabulous people.

A beautiful name. The 'anca' makes it sound pretty.

I think the name Bianca is beautiful, and delicate. I have a friend named Bianca, she is wonderful, and her name is perfect for her. It suits her well. In conclusion, I love the name Bianca because I think it's a wonderful name for a girl.

I hate this name. It's very overused and not pretty at all. Whenever I hear someone say it, it sounds like they are whining.

I'm only 11, but lately after discovering Shakespeare, I like my name Bianca. It's classic, and I love old stuff. Romeo and Juliet, Phantom of the Opera, I love my name. Well, like. It could be better. But still - it's pretty beautiful, and I wouldn't immediately change it. Unless my friends agreed to call me Luna, that's when I would go and change it.

Not my style of name, I find it cold and harsh.

This name is fair; but it reminds me of the Disney movies, The Rescuers and The Rescuers Down Under, in which a little white mouse was named Bianca. She was French, which doesn't make sense since the name is Italian. The French form would be Blanche, which is a rather ugly name pronounced the English way; in French it is ok.

Actually, Miss Bianca from the Disney Rescuers films is Hungarian not French. She was voiced by Hungarian actress Eva Gabor.

Absolutely beautiful, full of European flair and Shakespearean grace.

My name is Bianca, I think it's a little annoying at times but everyone tells me how gorgeous and rich it is. It is a bit funny that I'm almost 100 percent Italian and I'm like fair skinned but my name also means white.
