I think this is a great name, but would it be strange for a dark girl? Thoughts please.

Hmm, I think of it as a bit of a gin-swiller's name. But maybe it's a grower.

Sounds fabulous with a french accent, but in estuary english? It's a problem I have with my own name (although I am not ginger)

I always assumed this was more of a virtue name -- that "Blanche" referred to purity and was not meant as a literal description of the person.
