My name is Blanche, and I had never heard the French pronunciation. Then March of 2015 I got to go to Paris to the Eiffel Tower. It was amazing! On the bus ride from the train station they had a stop, it was "Blanche" and the bus driver called out the stop and I got so excited to hear it pronounced that way! I was named after my grandma who died when I was six so I didn't have a lot of memories with her but my mom was very close to her mother being the only girl with 5 brothers. I am the youngest of 10... 7 girls 3 boys... and I got her name. I am so proud to have her name. But I have to agree it sounds so much better in french. Thanks for all the comments I read on here.
