Witchy names

[hellsbells552]

Trying a different way of coming up with some girls names - what ‘witchy’ names can you think of? Traditional or ‘out there’. I can only think of ‘Meg’ (Meg and Mog) and the obligatory Harry Potter references... 😂

Sraphina
Sorely
Isadore
Matilda
Ethel
Edna

Willow (obviously😀)
Tara
Rowan (from the Mayfair Witches)

Rhiannon- she was a Welsh witch.

Zelena and Regina from Once Upon a Time
Glinda
Hermione
Jadis - Narnia

Google turns up loads

I can't remember which children's book it is that says witches like names that are palindromes. I think it might be called Anna Witch

Anna
Hannah
Ava
Elle
Eve

etc..

Tanith
Lilith
Morgana
Geillis

This archived article from the LRB just arrived in my email inbox. They must have read this thread.

I remember the palindrome witch name children’s book!

I wanted to call my twins Tiffany and Esmerelda after discworld witches. Vetoed

Why do you want a witchy name? Genuine question.

Wanda

Belladonna, Nora, Nancy, Olympia, Mabel and Ethel all from the book 'Which Witch'.
Mildred, Maud, Enid, Ethel and Sybil from The Worst Witch.
Morgan, Raven, Morigan, Morgase and Nimue from The Mists of Avalon.
Claire, Sydney, Bay and Evanelle from Garden Spells.

@PantTwizzler - I like old names and I’ve always been into supernatural stuff. Also think of witches as strong and...unusual 😁

Name-wise I would totally consider Rhiannon (even though no Welsh in the family, we used to go there every year when I was a child), Willow, Sybil, Evanora, Hazel, Stella, Morgana... and if I was braver, Lucretia!!

Morrigan... Irish Goddess, patron of Witches

Please have Lucretia... we toyed with it for DD but had to decide against it. She’d have been a brilliant Lucretia.

Grotbags*

DISCLAIMER: I am in no way suggesting you should name a DC Grotbags. However, it makes a good nickname when they're keeping you awake with their grumbling at 3am.

There's Prue, Phoebe, Piper and Paige from charmed. Although they don't sound that witchy to me.

I thought of willow and Tara, Sabrina and Caitlyn

Zelda
Bellatrix
Lillith
Willow
Morgana

Myrtle, Cordelia, Misty (American Horror Story Coven)
Rowena (Supernatural)
Bellatrix, Luna (Harry Potter)

There was a great thread on a related topic some time ago which might be of interest - "Dark and delicious girls' names". Might be worth a search?

Not that you'll be short of ideas now
