Did you realize that the name Geli can be read as an anagram of the German
adjective "geil"? 

"GEIL: wanton, lustful; voluptous, lascivious; [üppig] luxuriant, rank, exuberant;
[Tier] hot, ruttish; [zotig] smutty; (Amer.) racy; [~es Fleisch] proud flesh" --

So the full name of this German witch can be read as "lustful tripping". You could
also say "free 'n' easy". But then again Frenesi is a traitress which Geli is not.
