What are good names for Medieval witches between 18-14 years old?

Jess asked:

Authorization and that the girls are eighteen, sixteen, and fourteen. The old-is almost definitely Isabel. I need the names for the other two at least. These three girls are witches in medieval France, and are sisters. If you have a French name that sounds good, that 'd be cool too. Note: these are the witches of the stereotypical ugly old witch. Meet tan, no names like Wartynose or something similar. Real names that you might have heard that back in medieval life in France would be appreciated. Thanks!

  7. Isabelle is een mooie naam; wilde u dat they' schrijven; re niet de stereotiepe lelijke oud wijfheksen? Als zo, zijn andere Franse namen Veronique, Jacqueline, Angelique, Suzette, Mariette, Musette, Antoinette, (" ette" het einde is vrij populair!), Babette, Clarisse, Dominique, Francois (niet zeker e) – als de vrouwelijke versie &quot heeft; e" of niet-Giselle, Henriette, Lisette, Claudette, en Simone. Hoop die helpt! Hier is wat meer: Solange, Cherie, Desiree, Vivienne, en Violette.

  9. Here are some French names that might have been popular in the medieval time period:
    Of course, there is always Marie, and there was Jeanne (as in Jeanne d’Arc); there is Catherine; Eleanore; (Isabelle is good, by the way). Witches in those days would surely not have names which would identify them as witches because the Inquisition was denouncing alleged witches and burning them at the stake! So, you would not want to mark your young witches by giving them names which would arouse the suspicions of those who were seeking to destroy witches. You might also consider Bernadette; or Denise for a more exotic choice. Or how about Helene (pronounce Ay-Lenn). Jeanne and Helene might go well with Isabelle. Anyway, your premise sounds fascinating, so please write it! Good luck!
