Of course :-).  As a Catholic, I can't believe I momentarily forgot 
the significance of names in Baptism and Confirmation ceremonies, as 
well as the Catholic tradition of invoking saints by name.  (I just 
had a surreal moment as I realized that Voodoo has a superficially 
similar tradition).  But anyway, the reason I asked about Wicca 
specifically was its relevance to witchcraft, and through that, Harry 
Potter.
