It's very Golden Girl ish. But if it's after a relative go for it. I prefer Bianca.

No. Use it as a middle name or find another B name to honor her. Although not my favorite, I think Blaire is better than Blanche. I also had a relative named Blanche, and I think old lady.

I wouldn't be able to get away from the association with Blanche in Streetcar. And when they do Streetcar in high school, everyone would turn around and look at the girl with that name.

I think it's beautiful. I wouldn't associate it with an old person at all.

I'd like to name our daughter Blanche. I had an aunt Blanche and she was an amazing woman. DH is not sold on the name. Can anyone give me thoughts? He seems to remember Blanche from Golden Girls who was a hot box. He was forced to watch the show when his grandma babysat him sometimes.

Honestly, not my favorite name.

BUT!

Golden Girls is awesome. My DH and I binge episodes on The Hallmark Channel when there's nothing else on and our DVR is dry.

Exactly what I was going to say!

I think it should remain a verb only.

I'm not a fan. Save it for a middle name or a name with the same or similar meaning like Bianca

Hi everyone,

I'd like to name our daughter Blanche. I had an aunt Blanche and she was an amazing woman. DH is not sold on the name. Can anyone give me thoughts? He seems to remember Blanche from Golden Girls who was a hot box. He was forced to watch the show when his grandma babysat him sometimes.
