Would personally avoid the name Portia because of the meaning. Yes, it sounds beautiful and there is the Shakespearean association, but the meaning is perceived as negative by most and so it could lead to teasing. I actually like pigs and know they are intelligent creatures by the way, but most of society disagrees and sees them as “dirty”.

I think of two things with this name.
Portia Porcupine from the Get Along Gang cartoon from the 80's.
Portia, Cinderella's step-sister, in the original version of Rogers and Hammerstein's Cinderella (who is actually supposed to be named for the Shakespeare character).
My husband vetoed this name for our girl, unfortunately.

Porcia Catonis (sometimes spelt Portia) was the daughter of Cato the Younger and wife to Marcus Junius Brutus, Caesar's most famous assassin. She was reputedly beautiful, steadfast and extremely intelligent, possessing many qualities that were considered masculine in Rome. Her love for her husband was so intense that upon being falsely told of his death in the first battle of Philippi, she succumbed to despair, driven to insanity; she swallowed a burning coal in a desperate attempt to kill herself. Brutus killed himself following her death after his defeat at the second battle of Philippi.
