Re: Portia or Porcia?
in reply to a message by breprih
I don't think they'd be mispronounced, no more so than most names (plenty of names get mispronounced and it's no big deal - Sara, Ada, Eva, Caroline, Alicia, Madeline for examples). Both are pretty intuitive, and easy to correct if it happens.
Definitely prefer Portia. Porcia has a porky thing that's hard to shake. I read somewhere that William Shakespeare changed the spelling of Porcia to Portia specifically to combat the piggyness, and wow am I glad it stuck.
