I'm leaning more toward the chic side, due to Shakespeare, BUT that's when I pronounce it Bee-ANN-kuh, which is, from what i've gathered from American tv, different to the American pronunciation of Bee-AHN-kuh, which I think sounds dated and trashy.
So depends on the pronunciation for me.

Not a favourite; seems not to fit in with modern names really. And I've got a niece who would ruin any name she owned; in this case, Bianca! I can think of many Shakespearean girl names that I'd use long before I even sniffed at Bianca ...

Uh, no. It's my sister's name and it's a really beautiful name. I think that it would for sure be on my PNL if it was usable for me. It's lovely.

I think of Shakespeare, but I've never watched any British soaps. It's quite bouncy and pretty, but - although I am probably all alone here! - I prefer Blanche.

I think it's definitely usable. Bianca doesn't seem dated to me at all. In fact, I have it in mind for a white kitten. ;-)

Bianca, sounds very stuck up! I don't like it at all.

Had a student named Bianca, love the name.

I think Bianca is a bratty name. I never liked it.

Here in the U.S., "East Enders" is not a factor. I'd say it's chich, classic and entirely usable thansk to Shakespeare. :-)

My only issue with it is it sounds harsh and reminds me of Binaca ("bi-NAH-cuh") mouth freshener. (Do they even make that any more?) But I would still be pleased to meet a little Bianca, or better yet a Blanca.

I don't think Bianc Jagger is notable enough to date the name. And as an American, I have never heard of East Enders. That is something you'd have to decide, but like with any movie/show/pop culture symbol, how much of an infuence it is depends on the person.

I think it is pretty, usable, and rather classic.

I perceive it as a bit overly fluffy.

I only associate the name with Shakespeare and The Rescuers. I don't know who Bianca Jagger is and I've never seen East Enders. So to me it's a classic, sophisticated, and quite usable name.
