Latin Teachers' names
My Latin professor's first name is Arianna, which is neat. We've only had her twice, though, when our TA was sick. My TA's name is Polyxeni nn Loula. she is from Greece.~ Arcadia

I really like Arianna. I met a girl with that name once, and she had very white hair and very pale skin. How do you say Polyxeni? I like the way it looks.

I'm far from fluent in Greek, but I'd say it would be something like "Po-lee-KSen-ee".

Polyxeni would be poll-ee-ZEE-nee according to my Greek Mythology knowledge, but a Greek speaker might pronounce it differently. It's a variation of Polyxena.
