[Facts] Opinion wanted...

Hello all,

I am considering the name "Porsche" for my un-born daughter, here is some history behind the name: PORTIA (f) From the Roman family name Porcius, which means "pig". This is the name of a character in Shakespeare's 'The Merchant of Venice' who disguises herself as a man in order to defend Antonio in court.

Any thoughts?

Thank you!

Dan
