Phronia

Used by Shakespeare in his play Timon of Athens, Phrynia is a Shakespearean that hasn't caught on as Ophelia, Jessica, or Imogen have — possibly because of its unusual sounds, its toady meaning, and the fact Timon of Athens is less well known than the likes of Hamlet. 

Nevertheless, Phrynia is a distinctive name with an animal meaning, originally derived from the Ancient Greek Phryne, which translates more literally to "the brown animal". It likely originated as a nickname for someone with a "snub nose" — reminiscent of a toad — and was borne by a Greek hetaira (or courtesan). It has also been used as the name of a crater on one of Uranus's moons, Titania.

An intriguing name with connections to Greek mythology, Pythia was the title of the high priestess at the Temple of Apollo in Delphi. Also known as the Oracle of Delphi, she was one of the most powerful oracles and women in Ancient Greece.
 
The name derives from the phrase pythia hiereia meaning "priestess of the Pythian Apollo", Pythios being an epithet of Apollo, likely borrowed from Pytho, the original name for Delphi. The name Pytho means "to rot" in Ancient Greek, and while this meaning does sound unfortunate, it was given to celebrate Apollo slaying a monstrous Python, which in turn gave off a sweet sickly smell as it decomposed. 
 
While it may be pronounced as PIH-thee-uh in English, in Ancient Greek, it would have been PIE-THEH-A.
