Tips for Better Names
- Nature-inspired names suit green witches
- Celestial names work for moon witches
- Witch names work best with a plain, old-fashioned given name and a surname built from a plant, a bird, or a cooking implement ("Griselda Mirefen", "Sable Thornwick").
- A title of address — Mother, Old, Mistress, Goody — instantly places the character in a community. It is doing more work than any epithet.
- Avoid anything that sounds like a stage magician. Witch names should sound local and lived-in, not theatrical.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of witch names are there?
Witch names can be nature-inspired (herbs, flowers), celestial (moon, stars), elemental, or traditional old-world names.
Should a witch name sound sinister?
Homely is scarier. A village herbalist called Mother Hazelbrook is far more unsettling in a story than a name that announces itself, because the threat is hidden inside something ordinary.
What is the difference between a witch name and a wizard name?
Wizard names lean scholarly and often carry academic titles. Witch names lean domestic and rural, drawn from plants, animals, and household objects.
