[Opinions] Portia and Porsche
While I love the name Portia, seeing Porsche on a human being makes me sick. The database lists both names with the same pronunciation PAWR-shə but they are not related.
So if I introduced to you my daughter PAWR-shə, whould you have to think about the car or would you assume her name to be Portia right away? Do you even pronounce those names the same?

Thanks everyone!
I do pronounce them the same, but hearing it as a name I would assume it was Portia. But then I'm not sure why this is, as I've known two girls with this name, and one spells it Porche, and one spells it Porsha. And actually, the second one is really LaPorsha, but she is always called just Porsha.
My mum fostered a kid called Porsha. I did think of the car but after I got over that I started to really like it. It's actaully a really nice name.
