On Big Brother last summer, they had a contestant named Porsche. I hate it. Why would you name your child after a car? How about Beemer or Audi? Ferrari?

I don't even know how it's supposed to br pronounced: Porsh or like Portia (porsha)
And on that note, why not just name her Portia which is kind of a real girl name?

If it's pronounced porsh, I don't like it. If it's pronounced Portia, it's ok but I prefer the traditional spelling.

Be right back, laughing my butt off.

In all seriousness, though, it's a stupid name.

If it's pronounced por-sha, prefer Portia. I love that name.

I just feel sorta weird about when people have names that are types of cars
(Mercedes, Porsche, Kia...etc)

I know of someone (family to me thru marriage, but we've never met) who has 5 kids and 3 of them are Dakota, Sierra, and Lexus.

Kia and Mercedes were both girls' names before the car companies, though.

Actually, so was Portia, just spelled that way.

I know several women with the name Portia, not Porsche. I don't mind Portia, but it's not something I would choose.

I prefer it spelled Portia. And then I like it.

Ew.

I don't mind Portia because that's a legitimate name for a human. Porsche is a car.

I mean, it is a girl's name, just usually spelled differently. I would spell it Portia.

I can't even stand hearing that word as a car, let alone as a name. Ick.
