Some witchy names

I love witchy names (that make me think of kind witches, not evil ones). Agatha is one of my favourites but my husband dislikes it so unfortunately it's not on our list. Sabrina is on our list and I love it. Last night I was reading "The Worst Witch" to my little cousin and encountered some more lovely witchy names. What do you think?

Enid
Mildred
Maud
Dawn
Gloria
Ethel

and from the TV show that I remember watching as a kid (some names are the names of the actresses):

Ruby
Felicity
Sybil
Georgina
Drusilla

Thoughts? And would you say that Felicity is a posh name? I just noticed lots of comments like that in an old post on the name that I found.

Ruby is already on our list too but feels a bit "woman in her 20s" to me. Husband loves it, though.

I wouldn't consider all of them for my list but curious what you think. The ones I would consider adding (if my husband agrees): Enid (this was also suggested by someone here, thanks!), Felicity.
