Good witch? Then Willow Wand.

Bad witch? Belladonna.
Reply:marigold (calendula) words have healing power; sacrifice out of love if necessary rosemary (rosmarinus officinalis) protection and healing ; be positive.............those are the keynotes as provided by ted andrews nature speak, so is your character positive or a martyr? i actually like calendula as a name. most people wouldn't even know what it meant, but the "informed " would get a kick out of it. good luck with the story, and when/where can we read it?

Reply:I like Rosemary, too. Marigold sounds too frivolous.
Reply:Very creative names...but they both seem a little too happy if you're naming an evil witch. I'd go with something a little more sinister/mysterious for a bad witch. Millicent or Grethel or something along those lines.



Otherwise, I like Rosemary better than Marigold, but, then I suppose it depends a bit on the character and type of story you're putting together, too.
Reply:Rosemary is a good name for a bad witch. Marigold is good for a good witch. I think Rosemary sounds good for a bad witch is because of the movie Rosemary's baby. But I was watching the Wicker man over the weekend and all of the women on summers isle were named after some kind of plant name, which I've noticed you have done with Rosemary/Marigold. They were named after flowers, trees, plants all kinds of different plant names. It was pretty cool. Hope you have fun with your search! Maybe research plant life and find something that is kind of a sinister plant. Maybe her first name could be poison and her middle name ivy? Just a thought....Have fun!
Reply:Either name is good for either type of which, depending on how you play it. Consider the character and go with the one that comes up more frequently. You may also want to fight the stereotypes and make either of these evil character names. Notice how many people associated these names with "good witch" characteristics? A good book provides an element of surprise.
Reply:How about "Lucifer" for a bad witch? the other names r good for good witch
Reply:I would let the characters speak to me and tell me what they think they should be called (if they do speak to you) otherwise go to babynames.com and they can give you the meanings behind the names you chose and then you can see if they fit the personalities of your characters you are writing about.
Reply:rosemary.
Reply:I'm assumming she is a good witch. I like Marigold. You don't hear that name often.
Reply:I'm liking Marigold better if its a good witch. Rosemary doesn't do anything for me either way.
Reply:Rosemary
Reply:Joan, Peggy for kind one %26amp; Joyce, Norma for cruel ones.the best is Norma.
Reply:Rosemary for a bad witch...and Marigold for a good witch...Marigolds are much more dainty kind of like the good witch's
Reply:I think the opposite of the others.. Rosemary sounds sweet and good to me and Marigold could be a little sinister and mysterious.
Reply:Lucy or Lucinda for a good witch. (It means "light.") Hazel, Beulah or Wilhelmina for bad witches. Of the two you have, I like Rosemary. Marigold sounds too sweet.
Reply:They both would be alright for a good witch but not for an evil witch.
Reply:They both sound like nice witch names. (Good witches) If you're going for a mean or bad witch, I would use something like Hazel.
Reply:FOR SOME REASON I LIKE THE NAME " REGINA "FOR A WITCHS NAME JUST A SUGGESTION.
Reply:Rosemary
Reply:i think Theodora is a much better name for a witch
