This name generator will summon 10 random names suitable for ghosts, spirits, phantoms, and other ethereal entities.

Depending on the type of spirit and the fictional work, spirits often either retain their name from before death or acquire a nickname based on their appearance, behavior, or the circumstances of their haunting. Some spirits might also adopt entirely new names, perhaps because they've forgotten their past life or wish to sever ties with it.

This generator offers two styles of names:

• The first 5 names are given names related to themes of death, the afterlife, spirits, unfulfilled purposes, and similar ghostly concepts. These can be positive or negative, obvious in meaning (e.g., Guide, Aura) or more subtle, often hinting at the spirit's nature.
• The last 5 names are descriptive titles or nicknames. Like the first set, these can range from positive ("The Defending Servant") to negative ("The Vicious Baron") or even unsettling ("The Midnight Visitor"). These names are particularly fitting for ghost stories, especially those involving malevolent entities, but there are plenty of options for gentler spirits as well.
