Ok im fairly new here so if this has been brought up please forgive me (thanks). But does anyone know if it was done on purpose that all of Samantha's female relatives names ended in "A". Endora, Clara, Hagatha etcetc. Im supposing it was but i'm just curious. Ive never read anything about that lil bit of useless info haha so if you can shed some light thanks!

It was definitely intentional - Bill Asher has said so in many interviews.

Oh ok cool. Never had heard that before (obviously), so thanks! I kind of figured it had to be but just for my own insanity wanted to ask

I never caught that, they were just names to me lol.

Yup, the only witches I can remember who didn't have a name ending with an "a" or long "a" sound were Mary (from "The Witches Are Out", Season 1) and Elspeth the nanny in Season 4's "I Get Your Nanny, You Get My Goat". If I've forgotten anyone, let me know!!

What was the name of the Crone of Cawdor, and did she count as a witch?

I'd say she counts as a witch, but I don't think they ever revealed her real name.
