Enchanting Your Wizarding Name
To conjure a Hogwarts-worthy name, think:
- Which British tone—whimsical, elegant, or slightly archaic—fits?
- Should it hint at magic—like “witch,” “spell,” or “charm”?
- Do you prefer two-part names for authenticity?
- How many syllables suit your wizard’s background?
- Could alliteration add a playful twist?
