Such as River, Marlowe, etc, just for a middle name, for a fairly common and classic first name (girl) Would love some suggestions!

I taught a Portia. I always thought of the character from the Merchant of Venice or Portia di Rossi, Porshe never entered my mind.

I quite like the use of a family surname usually the mothers of even further back. I know of children with middle names like-
Temple
Fenton
Forbes

My maiden name was Tozer so not so cool!

AyeWhySwim, unfortunately I think it would be constantly misunderstood.

I have a Heidi and our second would have been Annika if it wasn't for the penis.

Sidetracking slightly - I'd forgotten how much I love the name Portia! Do people think it's useable though or would it constantly be misunderstood as a pronunciation of Porsche?
