Is Porcelina (Poor-suh-leen-uh) too weird for a girl's middle name?

I'm afraid I just love it too much and I'm not able to see how weird it could be...

Edit: I'm not really asking for if you like it or not, just if it's too out there for a girl's middle name.

holy crap NO. That's way too out there. She'd catch hell when her classmates discovered it (other people have beat me to the toilet reference and the pork jokes), and she'd spend her life refusing to tell anyone what her middle name is. Or she'd change it as soon as she could.

Tangent: I don't know how anybody could give their kid a name they know the kid will want to change later.

All kids get teased for something. My name is Erin and I got teased. And if it's not the name it's the color of your hair or skin or the way you walk. It's really unavoidable.

But I would never give a child a name that they would want to change, because any child I raised would be raised to be strong and have pride in herself and her name. She wouldn't change it because she would understand the meaning behind it, and love it.
