* In the ''Series/MurdochMysteries'' episode "The Witches of East York", the main witch goes by Minerva West, which is borderline, and her apprentices are Persephone Jade and Elspeth Nighthawk, which aren't. Notably, Minerva's lack of interest in what anyone else might call her apprentices delays the reveal that [[spoiler: Elspeth is the daughter of the murder victim]].
