[quote]if it did not can we eventually be able to give it a name?[/quote] From a narrative preview years ago, A ghost* mentions that they'll consider what their own name will be. As far as we've called them (our own one*) its been 'Ghost' or in Elsies case 'Little Light', our Ghost doesn't like the latter one. So with the narrative preview showing Ghosts can pick and plus it telling Elsie in one activity it prefers Ghost, it's going by that. Realistically though, its whatever we name it - same thing as your own character.

Ghost is what you are, my friend. If you want a name so badly, choose one for yourself.” “Maybe I will. Now that everyone’s gone back to the Tower and we’re still out here, I have plenty of time to consider what my name should be.” “Can you open my file while you ponder the possibilities?”[/quote] https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/article/46779
