First of all let me say that choosing a name other your real name is not necessary. Nope, you do not have to assume another identity to successfully work magick. Some people even refuse to pick a different and magickal name. They say that it is unnecessary.

However, choosing a magickal name can be rewarding to yourself. In that it can give you the extra "power" or a sense of confidence needed in working magick or spellcrafting. Also, It might add to your protection from someone or some thing that does not know your name. In the case of a coven, your Magickal name will be a way that the coven will identify you. The very act of choosing a name can be fun and as well as part of the preperation in becoming a Wicca/Wicce or witch, coven or no coven.

There are numerous amounts of people with the same craft names (especially on the net) so try to pick a name that is not used very much or not at all. You can use the same names but try to be creative.
A good way of picking the craft name is to think of something that influences you or really stands out to your thoughts. "Silver" is used quite a bit and so is "Amber" so what should my name be then? Well whatever suits your liking. It can be from anything that you can imagine. A famous Goddess. Maybe an old Norse name? Or a Greek God? Maybe something you just made up according to your numerology chart?

Humm, there's an idea. Well let's see my name is "Marlevane". So maybe I should figure out how many letters are in my name and match with my new craft name. Sure, why not? It sounds good to me.
