Ranma 1/2 Memorial Book gives Shampoo's name as:

Henceforth, I shall give her name as "Shampoo" when normally addressed
(English translation stuff) and Shan Puu as her formal Chinese name.

Any objections?  (Except that it's a little late to fix Xian-ko in
Scarlet Spring)

Actually yes. Sha n pu is the Japanese pronuciation of the Chinese
pronunciation. Which in turn Shampoo is an English approximation of
Shanpu.

x is very appropriate. Usuallly x is used or hs.

Hsianpu.

My friend's name is Hsiao Fen. But her ID says Xiao. A very soft sh in
either case.
