Re: Marcia, Moira, and Portia
in reply to a message by Ani
Moira is the only one I like. It's a pleasant form of Mary, and the Greek meaning is great fun as well. That said, I once knew a Moiragh, which I couldn't warm up to.
I think Shakespearean lawyer for Portia; pigs don't occur to me, and if they didn't bother the ancient Romans, who are we to complain?
Marcia is literally and figuratively classic; Marsha is mid-20th century. So, Marsha is more modern and more dated!
I might consider Moira for a child; I'd be more likely to consider Portia for myself.
