HelpRe: Portia or Porcia?
in reply to a message by breprih
Definitely Portia. If I misread Porc as having a hard C, it's too close to pork, or the meaning just seems too transparent, like porcine.
Yeah, I think they'd both be mispronounced a good portion of the time in the US. It's not a common name, and the pronunciation looks ambiguous, if you don't know it.
I went to school with a Portia / Porsha. I don't remember how she spelled it. I thought her name stood out in a good way, at the time.
...actually I think it was Porsche, because I remember it reminded me of cars, so I associated it with Mercedes.
