Xanthippe
Xanthippe was the Athenian wife of Socrates. She had three children and her name is pronounced Zan-thip-ee in the English tongue.
I dont think it is ether confirmed but I remember reading in a book Plato writing a poen to a Xanthippe. But, it does not state whether the Xanthippe is Socrates wife or not. I believe the book I saw it in was called 'Ribaldry of Greece' but the author escapes me.Unfortunately, this neither answers the question but it proves he was in love with a women called Xanthippe. Unfortunately, I do not know if Xanthippe was a popualr name in Ancient Athens or read any confirmation either way.Hope this helps.Steve Black
