Male Ghost/Spirit Names

How male ghost/spirit names are built

Ghost names work two ways. A bare personal name pulls a single token from a gendered bank (76 male, 97 female, 75 neutral synthesized forms). A titled form puts "The" before an epithet and a name, pairing a 100-deep epithet bank with a gendered surname-like bank to make a haunt-title. So you get either a lone spirit-name (Thua, Reysasi) or a named apparition (The Dicle Kasper).

• Thua

  Thua (male synthesized bank)

  a bare, half-formed name reads as a forgotten identity

• Reysasi

  Reysasi (female synthesized bank)

• The Dicle Kasper

  The (fixed article) + Dicle (epithet bank) + Kasper (neutral name bank)

Naming notes

The synthesized bare names are deliberately slippery and half-formed (Tellhim, Memademe) to read as a half-remembered identity. Use the bare form for a wandering, forgotten ghost; switch to the titled epithet-plus-name form when the spirit is a known local haunt with a reputation. Good for haunted-house adventures, séance NPCs, and folklore spirits.

Questions about male ghost/spirit names

Why do some ghost names start with 'The'?

That is the titled haunt form: "The" plus an epithet plus a name marks a spirit famous enough to have a reputation, like a named local ghost. The bare single-word form is for an anonymous wanderer.

Why do the bare names sound incomplete?

They are synthesized to feel half-remembered (Tellhim, Memademe), reflecting a soul whose identity has eroded. That slippery quality is intentional for a ghost rather than a living person.

How do I pick gender for a spirit?

Each gender has its own bare-name bank and its own surname bank for the titled form. Neutral works for an apparition whose sex is unclear in the haunting.
