[name_f]Lucinda[/name_f]- love [name_f]Lucinda[/name_f] but I feel forced to go by [name_f]Luna[/name_f] or [name_f]Cindy[/name_f] as I can’t stand [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Elspeth[/name_f]

So many great ones!!
[name_f]Zinnia[/name_f]! Why didn’t think of this one
[name_f]Morgana[/name_f]- I love the show " [name_m]Merlin[/name_m]". I hope this wouldn’t get shortened to [name_u]Morgan[/name_u]
[name_f]Rowena[/name_f]! Yessss i have never liked [name_u]Rowen[/name_u] but lately [name_u]Rowen[/name_u] has been growing me, and [name_f]Rowena[/name_f] is even better than
[name_f]Ursa[/name_f]- I figured an [name_f]Ursula[/name_f] would sometimes be [name_f]Ursa[/name_f] but [name_f]Ursa[/name_f] is pretty great on its own
Getrude- was on my list for a long time. Husband doesn’t like [name_f]Gertie[/name_f] and [name_f]Trudy[/name_f] won’t work because we have a [name_u]Rudy[/name_u].
Never saw [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] as witchy but I have always lovedthe name- maybe I am more witchy than I thought

I guess I must like witchy names too because I like all the names on your list. I wanted to use [name_f]Millicent[/name_f] [name_f]Lucinda[/name_f] when I changed my name, but everyone I met said Maleficent instead of [name_f]Millicent[/name_f], and I already have a witchy last name and have a number of totally unintentional witchy attributes. I wanted something what wouldn’t stand out too much, so I ended up using neither, alas. I still like them a lot. Here are some others I like that could possibly be considered witchy. I think I removed all the repeats, but I might have missed a couple.

[name_f]Afton[/name_f]
[name_f]Agnes[/name_f]
[name_f]Almira[/name_f]
[name_f]Cadence[/name_f]
[name_f]Cloris[/name_f]

[name_f]Esperanza[/name_f]
[name_f]Ethelinda[/name_f]

Witchy names are 110% my style. My wife and I have considered naming all our daughters after fictional witches. Elphaba is my ultimate guilty-pleasure-I-love-so-much-I-might-use-it-anyway name.

There’s a blog you can google - bewitching names - that has nothing but witchy names and it’s gorgeous.

Some of my favorites:

[name_f]Viola[/name_f]
[name_u]Artemis[/name_u]
Bensiabel
[name_u]Fable[/name_u]
[name_f]Fern[/name_f]
[name_u]Phoenix[/name_u]
[name_f]Evening[/name_f]
[name_f]Coraline[/name_f]
Ysabeau
[name_f]Sabrina[/name_f]
[name_f]Opal[/name_f]
[name_f]Marigold[/name_f]

[lightasafeather]

@galilei+[name_f]Katerina[/name_f] this blog is happening! I love all of these. [name_f]Opal[/name_f] and [name_f]Fern[/name_f] were vetoed by husband, although he likes both for boys. [name_u]Artemis[/name_u] and [name_f]Artemisia[/name_f] make me happy

@lavenderwitch love these. Skadi sticks out because it’s very close to a character in a show I like. She is of course a sorceress

[name_f]Sigrid[/name_f]
[name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f]
[name_f]Zella[/name_f]

With the exception of [name_f]Roxanne[/name_f] I would use every single one of these, no hesitation- assuming my husband would go for it.

[lightasafeather]

@jonquils I like crazy. My husband is more mainstream but most of these are usable for us

[harveyday]

A note on [name_f]Lucinda[/name_f]-
We plan to name our baby [name_f]Lucinda[/name_f] and our nicknames for her are [name_m]Louie[/name_m] and [name_f]Lulu[/name_f]

[lavenderwitch]

@lightasafeather

@lavenderwitch love these. Skadi sticks out because it’s very close to a character in a show I like. She is of course a sorceress

I am pagan, and Skadi is one of my primary deities. She is a jotun (frost giant) and the Norse goddess of winter, associated with snow, bowhunting, wolves, (snow)skiing, and mountains. In the mythology, she marries the sea god [name_m]Njord[/name_m], but they eventually separate because he cannot abide the howling of the wolves in the mountains, and she cannot bear the screeching of the gulls by the sea. Her name comes from two roots, one from Old [name_m]Saxon[/name_m] and Old High [name_m]German[/name_m] that means “shadow” and one from Icelandic that means “harm.” Some scholars believe that the region of Scandinavia is named for her.

very interesting and so cool!! As much as I love it I think it’s too far out there for the hub’s. I am not [name_m]Pagan[/name_m] and I assume if it was offensive for non Pagans to use it you wouldn’t have suggested it, but I should probably double check on that line

Also Njord is AMAZING definitely suddenly very high on my boy list

[name_f]Lulu[/name_f] or [name_u]Lou[/name_u] is not for me but [name_m]Louie[/name_m] is amazing and definitely makes it more appealing!

[Angiie]

I cant believe [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] hasn’t been suggested yet! My [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] is about to turn 1 and I was hesitant at first, but we loooove it on her. We call her princess [name_f]Griselda[/name_f].

[merlynhawk]

Any nature names - [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], [name_u]Oak[/name_u], Rowanoak, [name_f]Lark[/name_f], [name_m]Merlin[/name_m]/[name_u]Merlyn[/name_u], etc.

God/dess names - [name_f]Rhiannon[/name_f], Arianrhod, [name_u]Artemis[/name_u], [name_f]Persephone[/name_f], etc.

Many old-fashion names - [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], etc.

And when you combine elements of these names - [name_f]Rhiannon[/name_f] [name_f]Lark[/name_f] … Voila! Witchy name!
