HelpRe: Pagan and Witch names
in reply to a message by peregrine
Very late to the post, but there are so many cool names. I like:
Alzira
Dracaena (the meaning "she-dragon" is metal af)
Eimyrja (pretty and it means "ember" and it feels like the name of a viking metal band, I'd 100% call a cat this or have it as a gp middle name)
Elain
Fara
Ingaret
Kerrian
Leocadia (such a gp love)
Litany (extra gp, couldn't realistically use as I'm not religious in the slightest)
Litha
Llorien (feels very LOTR)
Mercy
Miselda
Mnemosyne
Omnia
Ophion
Pasithea
Seaborn
Simaetha
Tyrian
Ysanne
Ysfael
Some cool names, most of which I prob wouldn't use in real life or would use for a pet, but they're cool and interesting...I had fun looking up the meanings too...
Rhonabwy is fascinating... I wish the meaning were in the database.
Tyro makes me laugh, the meaning "cheese" is amazing. I'd love having a name meaning "cheese" (I also love cheese) but maybe it's not for everyone.

No worries about being late! You’re right, lots of the names had awesome meanings, I’m enjoying going through the book to find them all.
I just looked for Rhonabwy in the book, it says:
‘Rhonabwy is difficult to parse and it’s origins are obscure; the first element may be Welsh: rhôn “lance”- or even perhaps a form of Rhun- the second may be a corruption of byw “alive”, or mab “son”, followed by the suffix -wy.’
So essentially the meaning isn’t totally clear but could be something like ‘lance alive’ or ‘lance son’.
Hope this helped :)

Ooh, that is obscure! Cool though. So I guess Rhonabwy is masc then, I sort of thought it was fem... gave me archaic sorta bulky vibes but also vibes like Rhiannon etc, and I was thinking like Aeronwy and Myfanwy... so that's interesting!
