Help[Opinions] Re: Ferrari
in reply to a message by Manipura
Was "Porsche" spelled that way? Or was it Portia? If it was in fact Porsche, I'm not a fan. Not crazy about Portia either, for that matter. Mercedes feels different to me because the car was named after a person named Mercedes. To be fair, Ferrari was, too. But it was the surname in that case.

It was Porsche; that spelling was in US top 1000 for a couple years in the late 80s (around when I was born).
It's not my thing, but I didn't hate it, and I don't remember her getting teased relentlessly for it or anything.
...and if I'm basing the decision off of etymology, I like Porsche more than Portia.

The meaning of Portia is awful.
