[Opinions] Bianca
I've started to like the name Bianca recently. What do you think of it? Middle name suggestions?

Bianca has always sounded a tad harsh to me and reminds me of mouthwash "Binaca." I'm more of a Blanca / Blanche fan. But I'd still be thrilled to meet a little Bianca as it has great associations like Shakespeare. Plus, I'm all for keeping classic names like Bianca in use.Bianca Hilary
Bianca Pascale
Bianca Miriam
Bianca Pearl
Bianca Sophie
Bianca Gabrielle
Bianca Leonie ("LAY-uh-nee")
Bianca Genevieve
Bianca Helen
Bianca Vivien
Bianca Damaris ("DAM-uh-ris")
Bianca Gillian
Bianca Rachel
Bianca Mallory
Bianca Valerie
Bianca Lily / Lilias / Lillian
Bianca Josephine
Bianca Cecily
Bianca Madeleine ("-lin")
Bianca Magdalene ("-len")
Bianca Phoebe
Bianca Rosalind
Bianca Jane
Bianca Mirabel (= miracle / wonder in Latin):-)ETA: Bianca Simone

I like Bianca very much. I'm currently performing in a production of Taming of the Shrew, so I'm hearing it a lot lately. My first instinct is to say that because Bianca is so lively, it needs a middle name that's just as exciting. If you're not opposed to perpetuating the Taming of the Shrew thing, Bianca Katherine could be lovely, although not particularly exciting. Otherwise, I'd suggest:Bianca Lily
Bianca Roxanne
Bianca Marilyn
Bianca Soleil
Bianca Marlene
Bianca Phoebe
Bianca Sophie
Bianca Lorelei
Bianca Jewel
Bianca Topaz
Bianca Niamh
Bianca Francine
Bianca Juliet (another Shakespeare duo)
Bianca Tamar
Bianca Rosalind (I just can't stop!)
Bianca Maxine
Bianca Heather
Bianca Jane
Bianca Theodosia
Bianca Philippa
Bianca Winifred
Bianca Josephine

I didn't use to like it because I associated it with a character in a British soap but now I do like it, especially as it's Shakespearean. In fact, it's the only B name that I truly like - I find B to be depressingly deficient in nice usable names.I love Bear's suggestion of Bianca Hilary - I think Hilary is under-appreciated and it makes an unexpected and charming combo with BiancaI also like Bianca Felicity and Bianca MiriamBianca Marguerite appeals to me but may imply "white daisy" too much!

It's actually my middle name! Whenever people find out it's my middle name, I get loads of compliments.
I really like it and most people I know seem to love the name. It's sweet yet strong and not overused.
