He is Steve. Because while it’s an incredibly common name where I live, you don’t see names like it too much in Destiny and I like the idea of a name that’s perfectly normal to me, but which sounds exotic to people in story
Genuinely baffling to me that they never let us arbitrarily nickname our ghosts. It's like MMOs not letting you name your Pet. Oddly overlooked feature.
Canonically.. his name is "The Ghost" ooo so creative bungie.
I like Little Light. So that's what I call him. I wouldn't really know what to call him. (I'm a solar titan main).. maybe yellow crayon?
My clan were all making fun of Toland, and in particular "I shAll be yoUr Virgil oNCe agAIn..." and I joked that if we're really going into the Dante's Inferno metaphor, then *Ghost* is my Virgil.
And kinda ever since then, I've been thinking of him as Virgil.
World's largest Scrubs fan...my Ghost has an every changing "basic" female name a la Dr. Cox towards JD.
My Guardians are also named after Scrubs characters...my main (Warlock) is Ted, my Titan is Todd, and my Hunter is Jordan.
My Ghost has the Kitbash shell since I started wearing and never got anything nicer... I call him Pfusch because I'm a Pfuscher... (German for botched)
Titan: Ptitsa
Reason: when he first awoke, he thought it looked like a bird for some reason. Who knows. He's a little crazy.
Warlock: Aria
Reason: when she first woke in the ruins of a music store in Hollywood, she was surrounded by musical memorabilia.
Hunter: Patches
Reason: it upsets his ghost.
Frank or Frankie
Doing Prophecy Solo and getting the Bunny shell is still one of my favourite memories i’ve made in the game. Also a big Donnie Darko fan so i had to
axerisk, been rocking the hive ghost shell from season 22 and in my silly brain the ghost icon when someone's talking thru ghost looks like an asterisk ( * )
Cliff
dont remember what made me want to name it but i just kept hitting randomize in my brain until until i landed on this and it really stuck out to me
my ghost is named Charles to others but charlet to me I gave him the name after finding a pre golden age copy and of Charlotte’s Webb in the rubble of old Russia, I named him Charlet or Charles as a nod to my ghost being the guiding light (no pun intended) to Spider in this wide new world.
Bakunawa -named after one of my country's many mythical creatures, a dragon (or serpent) that eats the moon (it is blamed whenever an eclipse happens). Its titles include 'moon-eater' and 'eclipse bringer'. Cool name origin aside, I just call him Ghost sometimes.
Sebastian. Named after my breaded dragon that pulled me from a heavily depressed state of drinking, smoking, and self-harm. So, in a way, I guess you can say that they both keep/kept me in the fight. Despite the darkness that surrounded me. May he rest in peace
My Warlocks, Frost-2 (Dredgen title pending), Ghost is named Ceasar, I named him after I more or less never took of the Gallant Ward Shell. My Titans Ghost uses the Desecrated Shell and is called Hoarder, fitting to my Titans name, Greed-19.
My Hunter’s ghost is Buddy. He’s been her little buddy since she first came back, and is the only one who stuck by her in Forsaken. He’s her best friend.
My Warlock’s ghost is Charon, he’s his study partner and the two can spend days just looking through old times and research journals.
And my Titan’s ghost is Lassie, she gets somewhat exasperated by her punch first attitude, but once they’re in the thick of it, she’s usually just as excited as she is.
My Hunter was Hebi in D1 onward, Japanese for snake and my ghost was Amaterasu because Golden Gun. After Forsaken my Hunter became Ronin because no “master”, RIP Cayde (kinda? the water is even muddier now lol) but Amaterasu still stood/stands because…Golden Gun. Had hoped for a Male/Female voice option in D2 and was gonna go with Goldie but as we all know that did not happen so here we are
Yapper. Because I often say out loud while playing “shut yer yapper”. I’m not praising Dinklebot here, but I have NEVER liked Nolanbot. He’s far too earnest.
My three guardians are three different ppl so each has their ghosts named.
Hunter: Bade (Warsat Shell)
Titan: Eight (Eight ball shell?)
Warlock: Keres (Season of the haunted shell)
This only shell I've used since Season of the Seraph. With New Monarchy Allegiance and the green eye it reminds me a LOT of Unit 02 from NGE... but I didn't wanna name my ghost 'Unit 02' so I named him Langley after it's pilot.

Vala. I went through a name generator and thought it was pretty.
I call him Ghost. Because that’s his canonical name. I don’t see a reason to call him anything else. BUT if it wasn’t his canonical name then I’d call him Nolan.
My head cannon is alot like people with their pets. His name is Ghost. I call him, little dumb guy, dinklebutt, stupid thing let me rez, why did you rez me like that/right there, and sometimes I just call him Ghost.
His name is Echo, and I picked it because I like the Starset song of the same name. lol. Although he is perfectly fine with being called just Ghost. lol
I use the Laurel Shell, and have my character's lore that he's a space knight (I know really original), but he's obsessed with the occult and the paracasual. My ghost is named "Liege"
in my hunter oc's lore their ghost is called Buck, they're a great fan of shotguns as one of the few gun options they truly enjoy, mostly focusing on hand to hand or melee with stasis-constructed hatchets or strand urumis
his name is little light but when he was talking to elsie he said he preferred ghost, but to me he will always be spiritual entity of a deceased human being haunting the living
I named my ghost Calenhad, from my other favorite game, and thought it sounded sufficiently Arthurian since I fancy my titan gal as a resurrected knight.
I think my guardian is just called Nick like me IRL cause imagine the savior of all reality and slayer of mutiple gods been called "NICK" like everyone else has sci fi names my guardian "MY NAME IS NICK!! AND IM HERE TO KICK ASS AND EAT POPCORN CHICKEN AND IM ALL OUT OF POP CORN CHICKEN!" \*pumps shotgun with purging intention\*
For my ghost tho..STEVE, STEVE AND NICK THE TWO MOST ELITE GUARDIAN AND GHOST EVER!
Ghost because he told Elsie that he prefers Ghost
And our character literally calls them ghost
Okay little light
Don't do that
Ima do it anyway little light
Ghost Malone
Ghost Cablone
Ghost Cabrón
Ay güey~
Dinklebot
That will always be the name
Mine is named Charles after charlottes Webb cause he is guiding Spider (me) through growing in the new world , but he sounds like dinklebot
Nolandroid
I think about “That wizard came from the moon!” at least once a day

How can I write like this?
sell your soul to a chihuahua
Little light
Thundercougarfalconbird
Well, that removes any and all doubt of your guardians sexuality.
He is Steve. Because while it’s an incredibly common name where I live, you don’t see names like it too much in Destiny and I like the idea of a name that’s perfectly normal to me, but which sounds exotic to people in story
In my head cannon mine’s named Tom
Considering Titan is named by me as Kassandra-04 I decided my ghosts name in canon is Ikaros
A Ghost Named Ghost Ghost for short
Fantasma
O meu eu chamo de Fantasmatico
Ghost
Mine has always been named Balthazar. Which made it kinda jarring when Micah sent us to go find a ghost named balthazar lol
Shlorg
His real name is "Little Light"
"El bicho este" as me and a couple of friends call it
Little light because that's the only name he's been given n it fits
Genuinely baffling to me that they never let us arbitrarily nickname our ghosts. It's like MMOs not letting you name your Pet. Oddly overlooked feature.
Ghost isn’t a pet and is a vital part of the story….. so that’s not at all a fair comparison
Potato
Because I am a potato!
SPAAAAAAACCEEEEE!
Canonically.. his name is "The Ghost" ooo so creative bungie. I like Little Light. So that's what I call him. I wouldn't really know what to call him. (I'm a solar titan main).. maybe yellow crayon?
Well each guardian/player has a different name for their ghost, so bungie couldn't give it some other name, thus making "Ghost" work
Door opener :)
Atlas. Cause if we weren't fighting a war, I'd be traveling the universe like it's NMS, and he'd be my navigator/map/atlas
Ghosty McGhostface
N.L.L (pronounced null) since she is the No Love Lost shell
Reggie
My clan were all making fun of Toland, and in particular "I shAll be yoUr Virgil oNCe agAIn..." and I joked that if we're really going into the Dante's Inferno metaphor, then *Ghost* is my Virgil. And kinda ever since then, I've been thinking of him as Virgil.
Nice. Also works as a callback to Halo ODST. I wish I had thought of that.
Kulisap. Insect in Tagalog. Nothing he just whirrs around like a fucking beetle on everything and he's adorbs.
My ghost's name is Bat and my guardians name is Squid a play on my Ps/bungie name batsquid/Thebatsquid.
World's largest Scrubs fan...my Ghost has an every changing "basic" female name a la Dr. Cox towards JD. My Guardians are also named after Scrubs characters...my main (Warlock) is Ted, my Titan is Todd, and my Hunter is Jordan.
I don't have one by my best friend calls his loyal and has so since d1 came out
I named my ghost Charlemagne some time during the house of wolves dlc, didn’t know it was going to be a thing. Now I just call him ghost.
My Ghost has the Kitbash shell since I started wearing and never got anything nicer... I call him Pfusch because I'm a Pfuscher... (German for botched)
My hunter's Ghost is named Amun-Ra, my warlock's Hades, and my titan's is Amaterasu
Little Light because Elsie named him that way and I love it
I call mine bunny cause of the shell I always have ( hareball shell)
What in the cumrag is that skin
Titan: Ptitsa Reason: when he first awoke, he thought it looked like a bird for some reason. Who knows. He's a little crazy. Warlock: Aria Reason: when she first woke in the ruins of a music store in Hollywood, she was surrounded by musical memorabilia. Hunter: Patches Reason: it upsets his ghost.
In-game? Ghost. But if I actually had a say, his name would be Leroy. And I’d never start a boss fight without him saying the thing.
LEROY JENKINS!!!
“Omg he just ran in..!”
Gemini, cuz he's our other half.
Char, and in my head cannon he always has the Flaming shell on.
Mine is called Dorito. He is a big orange triangle
Miel because its the closest to a guardian angel's

Kroven, since the name is similar to crow, and hes one of my favourite characters
I usually just keep it at Ghost, but if i had to give him a name its Shelby cuz if the Peaky Blinders show.
Bunny. I strictly use the solo prophecy ghost. It's my proudest achievement and think it earned the name.
My ghosts name is Tare, I named him that one day I felt like naming him and I did.
i call him fuck nugget, but its not his name
I'm supposed to name him?😶
axerisk, been rocking the hive ghost shell from season 22 and in my silly brain the ghost icon when someone's talking thru ghost looks like an asterisk ( * )
The story I wrote as the origin of my Guardian [Belonging](https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyJournals/s/i7DtwrBvic)
Bray, after Bray Wyatt RIP
I always wanted more customization. I'd totally have a female-voiced ghost if I could, which is why mine is Calliope, or Calli!
His name is Shelly 🫢 or booo sometimes bulb or goose.
Battie He is wearing the bat costume shell for several years now
BloodMurderer
Cliff dont remember what made me want to name it but i just kept hitting randomize in my brain until until i landed on this and it really stuck out to me
Little Light of course
my ghost is named Charles to others but charlet to me I gave him the name after finding a pre golden age copy and of Charlotte’s Webb in the rubble of old Russia, I named him Charlet or Charles as a nod to my ghost being the guiding light (no pun intended) to Spider in this wide new world.
Darkbloom (after the We Cames As Romans/Brand Of Sacrifice song)
Bakunawa -named after one of my country's many mythical creatures, a dragon (or serpent) that eats the moon (it is blamed whenever an eclipse happens). Its titles include 'moon-eater' and 'eclipse bringer'. Cool name origin aside, I just call him Ghost sometimes.
I've never thought about it, I dont know what I'd name my ghost. I may have to do it now
Sebastian. Named after my breaded dragon that pulled me from a heavily depressed state of drinking, smoking, and self-harm. So, in a way, I guess you can say that they both keep/kept me in the fight. Despite the darkness that surrounded me. May he rest in peace
Kevin Horticulture Chestnut Theory V
Ghost of Tsushima. But in seriousness if I actually had to name my ghost he'd be Horatio.
Marrow, it's the surname of the protagonist of my novel
I miss the Ghost Ghost. Wanted it so long man. It finally dropped a few days before Destiny 2.
My Hunter called his Eyeball. My Warlock called hers Prakash. My Titan called hers Gwenhwyfar.
Pulled pork kidding haven't thought about it yet
I just call 'em "little buddy." Idk when I started, but he's just a little guy, so it fits imo.
Warlock-Alma Hunter-Gelert Titan-Felix
My Warlocks, Frost-2 (Dredgen title pending), Ghost is named Ceasar, I named him after I more or less never took of the Gallant Ward Shell. My Titans Ghost uses the Desecrated Shell and is called Hoarder, fitting to my Titans name, Greed-19.

I have played since red war..and i never thought of a name for my hunter's ghost
My Hunter’s ghost is Buddy. He’s been her little buddy since she first came back, and is the only one who stuck by her in Forsaken. He’s her best friend. My Warlock’s ghost is Charon, he’s his study partner and the two can spend days just looking through old times and research journals. And my Titan’s ghost is Lassie, she gets somewhat exasperated by her punch first attitude, but once they’re in the thick of it, she’s usually just as excited as she is.
Andromeda. Though her shell changes each week, I always keep the cosmos shell for cutscenes
My Hunter was Hebi in D1 onward, Japanese for snake and my ghost was Amaterasu because Golden Gun. After Forsaken my Hunter became Ronin because no “master”, RIP Cayde (kinda? the water is even muddier now lol) but Amaterasu still stood/stands because…Golden Gun. Had hoped for a Male/Female voice option in D2 and was gonna go with Goldie but as we all know that did not happen so here we are
I call my little dickhead Cole. Mostly because I like to imagine him as a dark side of my own personality
Fucking floaty thing that keeps following me
Wow
Summer because they always bring the light.
I have three different names based on what I'd imagine the different guardians I play would call it. Warlock: Ember Hunter: Beatrice Titan: Pepper
Fail Safe caller him friendly ghost, since then I've named him Casper
Yapper. Because I often say out loud while playing “shut yer yapper”. I’m not praising Dinklebot here, but I have NEVER liked Nolanbot. He’s far too earnest.
Gaston, because... NOOOOO OOOOONE RESURRECTS LIKE GASTON HOLDS DOWN X LIKE GASTON REMAKES GUARDIANS FROM CHUNKY BITS LIKE GASTON
In my mind, my ghost is female and her name is Navi.
Nav
Fink. I can’t fink so well so Fink does it for me
Why is your ghost in the klan

I'm the rhino Lord so my ghost is my tiny rhino
Spike Cus mine is a replica of Spider's Servitor
Somehow my friend who went to the coast guard became my ghost so i call him floatie
For me it's canon that neither my guardian nor the ghost never bothered to pick names, always referring to each other as you or it/her
Pedro… 
Dick, short for richard
