Witchy names

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... 😂

Merlin or Myrtle

HannahMcHugh · 30/10/2018 23:14

I think Merlin might actually be a boys name but i think it sounds feminine and "witchy"

No, in all seriousness, I like Mildred and seem to be watching the CITV version of the worst witch whilst wondering how I forgot the name when naming DD.

Seraphina/Serafina is a gorgeous name, and you could have Seffy/Seffie for short.

Winifred, Mary and Sarah (the sanderson sisters hocus pocus)

I have an Elspeth and a few people have remarked it’s a bit witchy. If DC3 had been a girl, he was going to be Tabitha Maude, which is pretty witchy too I think.

Honeybee79 · 20/11/2018 13:47

Willow
Maud
Agnes

LadyPamplemousse · 20/11/2018 15:53

Amongst the Pendle witches were an Alice and a Jennet.

I remembering watching a BBC4 doc about this. Was Jennet a baddie who grassed on all the women?

Serafina and Ruta are witches in "His Dark Materials" and are really string, amazing women.

When I was little I had a book called "Perdita the Witch's Daughter." Not a real witch but I love the name Perdita.
