Comments for XANTHIPPE:

I like this name, but unfortunately, this is made out to be a bad name by historians because of the traditional stories that the historical Xanthippe was a shrew. Many of these are now believed to be fiction rather than fact.

It looks pretty, but for some reason this name always makes me think of accidentally biting your tongue (something about the 'thippe' on the end).

I know they give the pronunciation with the name, but I think Xanthippe sounds prettier with the first syllable stressed: ZAN-ti-pee. Either way, it's beautiful.
