At work in the break room before we opened.

Anaxandra- This was a complicated one. The site I use for onomastics has no official entry, but I found a user-submitted entry which goes a little something like this: "Feminine form of Anaxandros. In Greek legend this name was borne by the wife of King Procles of Sparta. It was also the name of a 3rd-century BC Greek painter, who is mentioned in Clement of Alexandria's essay 'Women as Well as Men Capable of Perfection'." Naturally, I clicked on the link to 'Anaxandros'. Anaxandros- Means "master of a man" from Greek αναξ (anax) "master, lord" and ανηρ (aner) "man" (genitive ανδρος (andros)).
