Portia

Thoughts on Portia?

Yes. As long as it really fits the surname.

Lovely and not overused

Very posh

Like

One of the loveliest people I know is called Portia. Fab name imo

Yes. I like it. Though you may unfortunately get people thinking Porsche.

I love it but would be worried about people not being able to pronounce it.

It should be really nice but people will think Porsche.

I always think sounds slightly try posh

Ok with a suitable surname

I love it, underrated and I associate it more with the Shakespearean character than the car.

Nice choice.

For a Persian cat only...

Horrible meaning though!

I quite like it (because of the Elizabeth Bowen character -- though admittedly she's a rather uncomfortable teenager whose innocence makes her very cruel) but it's the type of name slightly lazy writers give to a comedy posh girl, like the ghastly horsy daughter of John Cleese's character in A Fish Called Wanda.

I adore it but our surname beings with a P so my DH has veto'd.

It was close to the top of my list. Lovely Shakespearian name that isn't overused.

My first impressions when hearing the name Portia.

Portia is grace personified. Her movements are liquid, her voice soothing and her mind is inquisitive. She holds strong convictions and does not suffer fools. Her dress is either immaculately tailored or bohemian- all squash blossom necklaces and vintage Indian dresses from the 70's. She wears her hair long. Her eyes are expressive, her gaze intense. She is loved by many and is the envy of others. She is often mistaken for being aloof, but she is not. She is actually quite warm and compassionate. She speaks up when she sees an injustice occurring. She is a deep thinker who is sometimes prone to depression. Both men and women fall in love with her quickly, yet she takes her time. She is careful when picking both friends and lovers. Once she is in love she is all in. She is unforgettable and never forgets.

Hope you enjoyed my description of the name Portia!!!!

Good luck and congratulations!

I know 4 portias but they're all strippers and that's their stripper name

Not keen, I do think of the car!

But the car is pronounced Porsh.

love this name

I really like it, makes me think of Rumpole of the Bailey but I'm not sure if that's the right name.

Pretty shocked at the feedback to this name being so positive, sorry but i think it's awful ! I'm not sure what it is about me , it screams chav (sorry I know people hate that, but that's all I can think )

My friend called her horse that, wasn't a posh horse

Hate it. Makes me think of "portly."
