Help[Opinions] Love it! (m)
in reply to a message by MariaNikolaievnaRomanova
It's one of my favourite girl names. I definitely prefer it to Blanca, as I feel that looks too much like Bianca, which is still considered a 'trashy' name in the UK. I do think Blanca is nice though without that possible connotations.
I think you could use Gwen on its own, but finding a name to go with it could be difficult; I've struggled to find one myself certainly. Of all the Gwen-related names, Gwendolyn is the nicest in my opinion if it came to that.
By the way, I love your sig! I think it's hilarious.
And lend your voices only to songs of freedom

Fill your lives with love and bravery

I agree that it is very difficult trying to find a name to go with Gwen. :( Nothing sounds right, but then again, I've always found it hard to pair off a one-syllable first name.
I never knew Bianca was considered trashy in the UK! Here in my part of the States, it's considered kind of exotic. What made it so trashy? Was there an unsavory character on television with the name?
By the way, I love your sig! I think it's hilarious.
Thank you very, very much. :) It's about to go to sig heaven, though, as I'm thinking about creating another one soon. It's so fun trying to come up with a creative signature picture, lol.

Yup
Basically, about ten years ago or so there was a character on EastEnders (UK soap set in London) named Bianca, and she was considered a bit trashy. So I think that affected the perception of the name here in Britain.
