That was my thought too, but then I searched the interwebs and found it may also be a girls name. Can’t really tell these days as people name kids all kinds of things and web software.can conjure up all kinds of stuff.
Yes, in addition to Portia, Porsche (pronounced Poorsha) is also a girls name. I just took it for granted that everyone knew that.
How bizarre. Google only brings up car-related results, i.e. I can’t find any source for Porsche being a girl’s name. I pity anyone who’s named after a car manufacturer. But then recent generations have become rather… creative in both spelling or making up names (-ayden fronted with any other letter of the alphabet comes to mind).
Alycesaundra, e.g. which is pronounced exactly like Alessandra, but it’s spelled oh so much more excitingly 
Ha! We named our kids Morgan and Austin.

From Beverly Cleary’s Ramona The Pest, written in 1968.
Ramona was not discouraged. She was used to Beezus’s growing out of things as she grew into them. She rummaged around in her toy box and finally dragged out her favorite doll, the doll with the hair that could really be washed. “I’m going to take Chevrolet,” she told Beezus.
“Nobody names a doll Chevrolet,” said Beezus, whose dolls had names like Sandra or Patty.
“I do,” Ramona answered. “I think Chevrolet is the most beautiful name in the world.”
“Well, she’s a horrid-looking doll,” said Beezus. “Her hair is green. Besides, you don’t play with her.”

I did find several ‘sources’ as a girl’s name but none that I could reference as legitimate what with the way things are on the web.
I think the car manufacturers took existing human names, e.g. Mercedes was named after the daughter of one of the early entrepreneurs of the Daimler Benz car company.
True fact: we have a friend from Nigeria named Alero, a girl’s name in the Yoruba culture that far predates the Chevy car of the same name.

Didn’t you hear? They’re all “they” now. My teens are forever telling me I’m out of touch.
Quite a few Canadian and American girls share names with makes of pick-up trucks, that share names with regions or mountain ranges, like Sierra, Dakota, etc.
Skylar is a popular girls’ name in Saskatchewan, not to be confused with Skylark, the Buick.
The one place where adults are consistently corrected and seem not to bat an eye is at Starbucks. No matter how you order, the cashier will repeat your order back to you differently than you said it. Without fail.
The most obnoxious pronunciation correction I’ve witnessed was from a server at Babbo.

Unless you use it regularly, it vanishes. I’m bilingual English-Russian (although the Russian is a bit childlike). And have at times been fluent in Hebrew, Spanish, and French too. No more. Just little bits and bobs remain.

Mercedes is and was a girl’s name before Benz named the car after his daughter, not the other way around

That depends on the audience, of course. I have no problem with using the gender-neutral “them” or “they,” and have used it in reference to strangers long before today’s teens

A German server decided to repeat my gimlet order (with the proper hard g) with a soft g. It made me giggle.
That’s what I said: that Jellinek named the car after his daughter, not the other way round.
My reading comprehension is clearly lacking today. Mea culpa

My husband races them. Got him a t-shirt for Christmas that says “Porsche is a two syllable word”.

When I was in college I had a friend whose family raced them professionally and my son has two of them. His father-in-law mispronounces it all the time. Drives me nuts.
