I love the name Bianca. Here are some ideas.

Bianca Marie
Bianca Grace
Bianca Nicole
Bianca Christine
Bianca Faith
Bianca Natalie
Bianca Hope
Bianca Danielle
Bianca Louise
Bianca Madeleine
Bianca Mae
Bianca Elise

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.

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 Bianca

---

I also like Bianca Felicity and Bianca Miriam

---

Bianca Marguerite appeals to me but may imply "white daisy" too much!

---

I don't like it. Probably because of the people I know with this name.

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 Heather
Bianca Jane
Bianca Theodosia
Bianca Philippa
Bianca Winifred

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.
