Xanthippe was an ancient Greek woman, best known as the wife of the philosopher Socrates. She is often depicted as a shrewish figure in historical accounts, particularly in works by later writers, although some scholars suggest this portrayal may be exaggerated or unfair. Xanthippe and Socrates are said to have had three children together, and she is often associated with the challenges of being married to a man dedicated to philosophy and public discourse. Her name has since become synonymous with nagging or difficult wives in Western literature.

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
