Was this message originally titled Marcia, Marsha and Portia, or do I need more sleep?

I like all three names.

The meaning of "pig" for Portia used to really bother me. I discovered the name Portia when I was about 14 and when I found out it meant pig I was CRUSHED, I couldn't believe such a beautiful name had such an awful meaning. Luckily I've grown up quite a bit and addressed my own porcine prejudices and now I actually think the meaning is adorable.

I really enjoy Marsha, although Marcia is quite beautiful too. I guess I just love the slightly softer and dorky-vintage feeling of Marsha over Marcia's elegance. Although Marcia is undeniably more ancient, Marsha seems more "old fashioned" in a dated sense, so Marcia feels more "modern" by comparison.

Without a doubt I'd pick Moira to use, for either a child or myself. I love Moira so much. I do not think I could carry Moira well (I am definitely more of a Marsha than a Moira) but it would be fun to wear it anyway.
