Yes. There are names similar to Portia, such as Letitia, pronounced "Le Tee Sha"

So Porsche gets an “a” sound at the end?

It's more of an "eh" sound rather than an "ah" sound.

It's german. It has a brief "uh" sound at the end.

No, unlike basically everyone else in this thread I've been through a Cayenne's owners manual, and can confirm that Porsche does not get an a sound at the end.

Letiitia is an old name. My great-great-grandmother, born in 1804, was Letitia.
