HelpRe: Portia
in reply to a message by New_Chloe
When I hear the name Portia, I think of a cartoon pig straight away. I figured it must be the name of Porky Pig's girlfriend, but a search just revealed her name to be Petunia, so...I don't know why I think that. I didn't consciously know that Portia means pig until I did a search on the name, although I'm sure I read it at some point before.

Oh God it does mean "pig". Not that I think you'd lie, but I had to check it out myself. I had been unaware of that, although I did come close in my initial response to saying that it reminded me of a pig because it sounds close to "pork". Of all the bad meanings. Much worse than Mara = "bitter" and Claudia = "lame". No, thanks.
