I don’t like it for it either. And can see a person named this being asked constantly "Won’t you get my baggage?"

But if I had to pick I would say all boy.

This name is very masculine to me...and really not my style.

Ok, well I love the name so everyone thinks boy so far?? What does everyone else think?
posted by Melanie :: 13 years ago | report
Absolutely BOY

I agree with the first poster, I have never cared for this name on either sex, sorry. If I heard the name, though, I would automatically think boy. Good luck!

So, now I have a different question, I am having a girl and want to know if it is acceptible for her name to be that?? She would be Porter Rose, if not her name would be Taliah Rose~ Melanie

I kinda like it but I think of it only as a boys name.
Good luck.

I would definitely use Taliah Rose...Porter is all boy.

There is something surprisingly nice about Porter Rose but I honestly don’t think I would ever name my daughter that. Taliah Rose is pretty though.

Thanks everyone I have posted another poll with her siblings names in it.

Who in their right mind would name a girl Porter? Talia is soo pretty!

I’m sorry but I would name my baby girl Porter, and I spell Talia Taliah.

It’s a boy’s name, and it’s also very easy for bullies to use. If the kid is anything but thin, they will call him Porker.

Porter for a girl is not uncommon in the South, often used from one generation to the next in "old" families.

I love the name Porter for a girl, and to those that don’t well guess what it’s not their kid.

My three year old cousins name is Porter and the name goes with his personality. He is a crazy out going little boy. And I love that name. The name is an uncommon name.

I loved the name Porter. I just named my 2 year old son Porter.

I named my son Porter (7 now) and kids have begun calling him "porter potty" it makes me so mad/sad for him. I regret the name but am hoping he grows into it and kids are kinder (yeah right) He has a good solid middle name of James as a backup if he ever chooses to use it.

My maiden name is Porter and I regret not naming any of my four children this, not even as a middle name. I'd say if you like it, go with your gut. Kids will always make fun of others anyway. Porter is a very old and classic, respectable British surname and is common in New England where I'm from, and popular as a first name among southerners for boys. But with a feminine middle name like Rose, it takes on a whole new vibe that is fresh and modern.
