I need to name a witch and her swan familiar!

Writers' Corner

Hello there! One of the characters in my latest story is a witch whose main power is that she can turn into a swan. I’ve been calling her [name_f]Swanhilde[/name_f] as a placeholder, which is far too on-the-nose, but I like the idea of a related name like maybe [name_f]Brunhilde[/name_f]? She has a familiar who’s an actual swan, but a magical one, and although the witch is a villain, the swan is much nicer and is sort of the animal companion of the main character, [name_m]Raphael[/name_m], the prince who the witch kidnapped as a child. The only other characters with names so far are [name_f]Kira[/name_f], a knight and Raphael’s sister (so also a princess), [name_m]Hector[/name_m], her horse, and [name_f]Evka[/name_f], her girlfriend the plant witch. I want the name of the swan to not be too similar to [name_m]Hector[/name_m], but sound okay with it also. Some sort of mythological name might be a nice connection? Thanks for the help!

Update: They are now named! The witch is [name_f]Clothilde[/name_f] and the swan is [name_f]Vivian[/name_f], which were only tangentially related to the suggestions, but I assure you they did help.
