How the Wraith The Oblivion Name Generator works
A Wraith the Oblivion name generator for ghosts. In this game, the dead linger in a grim underworld, held by their unfinished business and threatened by their own darker side. Generate wraith names with how they died, spectres, circles and underworld places.
How the Wraith the Oblivion name generator works
Wraiths keep the names they had in life, so the generator uses old-fashioned names from across the last century, like Violet Crowe or Amos Hale. Adding how they died gives an instant character hook, like Drowned 1911. Spectres, the dead who have given in to despair, get monstrous titles like the Hollow Maw. Circles are the small groups of wraiths who stick together, and underworld places name the grim cities and roads of the dead.
A name from life
A wraith's name is tied to their past. Choose a name that fits the era they died in, then build the story from there.

FAQ
What names suit a wraith?
Names from the era they died in. A ghost who died in 1920 should have a 1920s name. Adding how they died, like Lost at Sea, makes the character instantly memorable.
What is a spectre?
In ghost stories and the game, a spectre is a ghost who has given in to despair and become a monster. They lose their names and are known by dark titles instead.
How do I name an underworld city?
Underworld cities often mirror living ones. Try names like the Necropolis of London, or grim landmarks like the Ashen Bridge, which make the land of the dead feel real.
Can I use these for other ghost stories?
Yes. The names are original and fit any ghost story, haunting or afterlife setting, from tabletop games to novels and films, and the death notes make great seeds for a spooky mystery.
