what does everyone think of Bianca? ;) (my name)

I'm a Bianca Emily and my sister is Danielle Kira.

I've never met a Bianca so I guess I'm pretty neutral on the name. I have a baby names book called "The Baby Name Survey Book" it tells you the impression most people get when they hear a name. I looked up Bianca and it says: "Bianca is described as a real jet setter-a beautiful foreign sophisticate who is intriguing, ritzy, sexy and wild". I have to agree- that's the first image that I get to.

I like the names Bianca and I like Dannielle & Kira. I called my gorgeous Boxer girl Kira-Lea for a different name.

My Little girl's name is Bianca Rose.. so I am very fond of the name. It is unique.. and very pretty..

It's a name that I like in theory... I think it's really nice and it suits my style etc.
BUT.. the way people pronounce it here (Australia) sounds a bit gross to me. We say it kind of like -- be-YANK-uh, and some people in particular make it sound not so nice. If I could enforce a softer pronunciation onto everyone, I would really love this name, but because most people I know would pronounce it too harshly, I consider it more of an "alright" sort of name..although, I wish I could like it more.

(PS - I don't like the way Australians pronounce my own name either)

be-yank-uh is how you pronounce it in the US also...

i love it--- Its actually on my list of names
I have only met one other Bianca IRL

I like Bianca quite a bit.

I like Bianca. it's my friend's top choice for her baby (if it's a girl) & my neighbor's little niece is Bianca too. although, there are some negative associations w/the name. neither my friend nor I grew up in the same town, but we both found that it reminded us of some snooty girls we knew. weird.

I kinda like it. It sounds a LITTLE pretentious, but it's definitely not bad. I like it with Emily, makes it sound a bit more down to earth.

I adore the names Bianca & Danielle :)!

I know a Bianca Duily.
