| Yeah I would go with one of the other names with the same meaning. Like Bianca or Blanca etc. I just don't like the associations with Blanch and I think other names are prettier. |

Blair is really dated, like from 2000. I know lots of baby Stellas which is also a streetcar named desire. Blanche is beautiful. |

Blanche is an incredibly ugly name, imo.

| Listen to your DH. Blanche is a terrible name. That said, you can honor her by giving your DD it as a middle name. |

| OP, it's as good as any other name. It is a very strong female name, which some people sadly associate with ugly. To me, it's in the same old school class as Irene, Sophie, Dorothy, Heddy, Margret, etc. Some people like softer, demure names like Bella, which brings to my mind a woman who will be underestimated most of her life. Be bold, OP. |

| It's pretty bad. I like the Bianca suggestion much better. |

| To me Blanche is a verb: Blanche the vegetables. Agree with suggestions to use it as middle name if you like it that much. |

Like ranch dressing with a Bl. I'm really happy for your baby you are picking another name. It's awful. |

Like the French, but the ch is pronounced the English way not the sh sound it would have in French. |
