I've been "working" on this story for a while now. It is about a family of witches that takes place in the 70s-90s. There are five siblings and two of the sister's have children.

Agatha is the eldest, she is kind of a hermit, loves gardening and her pets...a whole zoo of cats, dogs, birds, toads...etc.

Sabrina was the second eldest, she was always a bit 'not there' and eventually went crazy and killed herself but her ghost still hangs around.

Vera is the next sister. She is probably the most normal of the family. She falls in love with a married man and runs away after she finds out she is pregnant. She gets sick and dies about five years later. The story takes place twenty years after she leaves town when her daughter, Jacqueline "Jack" returns to find out about her family.

Mavis is the youngest sister. She is the most wicked of the family. She puts a spell on the town's most eligable & wealthiest bachelor (named Richard) and they get married and have a son, Martin, who is two years older than Jacqueline. I've been thinking of changing Mavis' name. I'd like something that still starts with an M and sounds witchy. Any ideas?

They also have a brother named Victor. And the family's last name is Torn(e?) if that helps...not sure about Richard's last name :\

I like your names, though I'm hesitant about Sabrina because it reminds me of Sabrina the Teenage Witch, and I don't know if you want that association.

I think Mavis is a great name, but here are a few other ideas just in case:
- Merris
- Marigold
- Matilda
- Mab
- Maeve
- Maeva
- Medea
- Maren
- Miriam
- Millicent
- Magnolia
- Maia

Last names for Richard:
- Price
- Rockefeller
- Powell
- Lowell
- Wilkes
- Vincent
- Vaughn
- Hart

Good luck!

Ooo! I like Wilkes for Richard's last name...Richard Wilkes, Martin Wilkes... or maybe Wilkie?

What do you think of Mariah rather than Mavis? Agatha, Sabrina, Victor, Vera & Mariah?
