[Opinions] Bianca
I've been liking this name lately. By lately I mean the past 24 hours. I like the way it sounds, the way it looks, the meaning and the idea of B as a nickname. Well, what do you think of Bianca? Can it be taken seriously? Is it a name that will age well? Is there some obvious teasing potential going on with it? What middle name would pair well with it?Thanks!

I like it. I know quite a few Biancas.It can definitely be taken seriously. It's a traditional name and it definitely ages well.

This is my sister's name. I've always liked it a lot. I don't know why anyone wouldn't take the name seriously... It has aged very well on my sister (she will be 21 soon and it has always suited her). Her middle name is Ash-Leigh if that helps at all.

"I've been liking this name lately. By lately I mean the past 24 hours."-This is the story of my life. :)I love Bianca, and honestly I don't see why it wouldn't be taken seriously. It's a literary name, that is not too common, but not too uncommon.It is a name I can see on a young girl as well as an older woman. I don't think it is everyone's cup of tea, but I'm not sure that there are any specific things someone could tease a Bianca about.Hmm... middle names. :)Bianca Vivienne

I really like it, and Bee is a cute nickname. I think it can certainly be taken seriously and will age well. I don't think it would be teased. I'm not good at combos, but I've always been partial to Bianca Fern.

There's a 40-something Bianca in our extended family - haven't seen her for many years, but her name was never an issue, except she was known as Bunny in the family, which I did find unfortunate.I find it a bit pretentious, tbh, but then I don't like the only one I know so perhaps things might be different if I suddenly met a nice one.

I know a Bianca who sometimes gets called B, or Bb (bee-bee). It's a great name. Of course it can be taken seriously, and I've known a Bianca in her thirties so I think it would definitely age well. And I have no idea how you could tease someone for being called Bianca!Bianca Elise

I really like Bianca with the nn B or Bee. I think it can be taken seriously and age very well. I've never known anyone by the name so that's a plus for me.

I have grown to like Bianca over the years. I first associated it with the image of a popular, snobby girl. I'm not sure where I got that impression, but over time I lost it. Now I think it has a rich, slightly unusual sound. I think it would age perfectly fine. I used to know a young Bianca, who was never teased about her name. I think it would pair best with a simple, one syllable middle name.

It's my paternal grandmother's name and was fashionable in Italy in the first half of the 2oth c. It's a lovely name as far as I'm concerned. I'd love to meet a little Bianca.

Bianca is lovely if almost too sprightly for my tastes. I've never met a shy Bianca.It can definitely be taken seriously. I know quite a few Bianca's, as it was popular with my age group in my area. I can't think of a reason a Bianca would be teased for her name.I'm also quite taken with Blanca.Bianca Lucy

I've been taken with Bianca for a few years now. Always appreciating it but never having it actually break into my favourites. But I like it. I like the nickname B/Bee or Bia. Or Anna. I like the way is sounds, even if it is a mite clunky. Bianca Lise

It is clunky isn't it? I like that though.

I like Bianca. I have a student with that name, and it fits her so far. Since it's a fairly well known Shakespearean name (Taming of the Shrew, Ten Things I Hate About You), it should be taken seriously. Something like Autolycus and Bardolf, I can see being considered as jokes.
