HelpRe: Marcia, Moira, and Portia
in reply to a message by Ani
I've decided the meaning of Portia is not worse than Ursula or Tabitha. Pigs have their good qualities just like bears and gazelle do. However, I don't like Porcia because I see the word pork in it and think of cooked meat.
I used to really like Moira, but I'm more lukewarm after meeting one. I didn't like saying it IRL for some reason. It was like driving through foggy drizzle at midnight in name form.
I don't pronounce Marsha and Marcia the same. I prefer mahr-sya (Marcia), but if I wanted the Marsha pronunciation I'd use Marsha. Neither of them seems modern.
I would pick Portia, for myself or a child. I think it's fun. It's a little like an offbeat Gloria or Patricia.
Portia Winifred
Portia Harmony
Portia Iris
Portia Loveday
Portia Rosamund
Portia Kenina
Portia Nivaria
Portia Noxolo
Portia Nima
Portia Jane
Portia Hippolyta
Portia Vivian
