From my very vague recollection of The Merchant of Venice, was she not Portia?

Personally I’ve never met anyone named Porsche, but I have known a couple of Portia’s and they weren’t ‘hookerish’ in any way. Quite the opposite in fact, both being from very well off, educated families in the UK. 🀷*♀️So I do think it’s a name used by the educated, monied class. Porsche however, maybe not?

Hotblack Desiato

I can only surmise that some skanger heard Portia and thought it was Porsche.

It's pronounced "AB-city" apparently. The only person to blame in this is the mother for picking such a ridiculous name. The poor child.

Could be genuinely clueless about the context.

Maybe they're fans of Game of Thrones and liked "Arya" but wanted it to be more masculine.

People are bloody crazy, especially when it comes to naming kids. I don't think anything surprises me about kids names anymore.

You know you're dealing with an unhinged nutter when their pets have better names than their kids.

Couple near by me, two kids "Delyla-Rae" (spelt right the first name's lovely!) and "Maximillion Reign".

The dog is called Benny.

If Maximillion Reign doesn't grow up to be a porn star, then there's no justice in the world.

Well the first person in Abcde's life who wasn't nice to her was the idiot parent who gave her that name.

So the fake name I use for online insurance quotes is actually a real name? Wow.

Nollaig and Iseult, two ugly sounding names.

Also Miriam, it's a name very popular among GP's secretaries for some reason.

Heard of a new baby named
Astrid earlier. Kids are going to have a field day with that one, I wonder what endearing nickname they'll come up with? Ass? Assy? So many teasing possibilities, well done mam and dad.

Kid on the Toy show last night called Kyllian. Why do that to your child? ''Actually, it's spelled...'' is something he'll have to literally say for the rest of his life.

There’s a particular type of parent that loves to give their children normal names spelled in a “special” way. It speaks volumes about their ambition for, and faith in their child if they think they need to do that to make them stand out in life.

Spelled like the footballer Kyllian Mbappe.
