If you mean with Xi, none that I've ever heard of, but there might be one out there. Most GLOs use anglicaed/americanized names for most Greek letters. But those GLOs that say Phee are using correct "Greek Greek."
(FYI, in
modern "Greek Greek," my org would be pronounced Phee Mee Ahlpha and yours would be Ghamma Phee Veeta. Try that one out some time.
)
ETA: This BBC site gives a good overview of the modern "Greek Greek" pronunciation of the letter names. Some surprises there.
