Bianca or Penelope?

I know these names are very different, however I like that they’re both a little spunky and not frilly. We’d use [name_f]Bea[/name_f] or [name_f]Bia[/name_f] as nn for [name_f]Bianca[/name_f], and [name_u]Penny[/name_u] for [name_f]Penelope[/name_f].

I’m so torn between the two.

BIANCA!

I am bias, because it is my name, BUT it is a great name! I never meet other Bianca’s, it’s feminine without being TOO girly. It’s very rarely mispronounced, americans say Bee-ON-Kuh italians say Byan-Kuh

[name_u]Love[/name_u] my name. lol

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

[name_f]Bianca[/name_f] is more unique. But that’s the only edge I’d give it. It’s a name that I should like, but I just can’t get into the sound. It feels too dramatic. [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], on the other hand, is so lovable & charming. The nn [name_u]Penny[/name_u] is hard to say w/out a smile. It’s a bit popular, but not too bad. And it’s fairly classic at least.

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps. :slight_smile:

I prefer [name_f]Bianca[/name_f]. It feels beautiful in a grand, dramatic way to me, maybe because [name_m]Shakespeare[/name_m] used it in [name_m]Othello[/name_m] and The Taming Of The Shrew. For some reason I just can’t get into Penelope…

I prefer Bianca “Bea!”

If you don’t want to see something negative about the name Penelope that’s probably only a concern of mine, please feel free to ignore what I’m about to say: “pene” means penis in Spanish. But given that there’s Penelope Cruz and Penelopes all around the world, I’d venture to say that this potential negative I shared doesn’t matter much.

All that aside, I simply prefer Bianca for sound alone, mostly because I just like the sparky sound and sway it has to it. I’ve just never been keen on Penelope, but they’re both charming, sweet names!

Oh what good choices! I can see why the decisión feels impossible! I do feel like we could use more Biancas in the world, so I’m leaning in that direction, but I really like them both
