People can and sometimes do mispronounce anything, with the possible exception of 'and' and 'but'. And if you correct them quietly and without fuss, they won't do it again unless they are trying to be funny, in which case it's OK to ignore them.
Portia is Shakespearean as well as ancient Roman, which is a plus; Porcia looks like a refugee from a pig farm.
