My name is Portia. My mom named me from a radio show by the name of Portia faces life. I was born in 41. I never heard the name until the 80s. I have been called everything. I had english teachers that could not say my name or even know where it came from. I started to read up on the name when I was a teen. I love the name the name. what I love most is most of the people I meet can"t say it still, because it"s not spelled the way it sounds.
