Is Portia too weird a name for my baby girl? Sanity check...

[Apteryx]

Hi,
I am thinking of naming our impending daughter Portia. I've always loved the name, but I have some reservations about it being too "out there", or her being hassled with tedious comments about it being like the car - Porsche.
What do Mumsnetters think?

In future, i wouldn't even discuss name idea's with people because throughout my pregnancy i have been put off so many names by highly opinionated people. If you like a name, go with it but there will always be somebody who isn't keen. I'm sure they wouldn't voice their opinions so tactlessly if you had already named your baby! I think Portia is beautiful and classy.

I think yummymummy is right. Best not to discuss names until you have a done deal, unless you are really not sure, and wouldn't be upset if someone says something damning about a name you really like. Personally I associate names like Portia with unpleasantly plummy families at private schools (huntin' shootin' fishin' types IYKWIM). But that's just my personal snobbism, and it might have completely different connotations (if any) in Australia.

yes cups!
