Ghost Names
This is going to sound stupid, but can we like request certain ghost names not to happen on our private games since I keep getting my dead uncle who died in his cabin and it's sort of freaking me out about now. Is anyone else getting something like this? BTW I know this probably can't be done but honestly I need to freak out about it since I keep getting his name in the cabins.

The ghost's name/surname system is completely randomized, sometimes you can get the same name and surname twice within a quite short time frame and sometimes you will be playing a long time before seeing the same name and surname again. I doubt that there would be an option implemented to let you pick a name that you don't want to see.

It would help if the number of possible names would increase. I think there are about 10-15 possible surnames. I got my girlfriends name twice now.

Most of my family is dead and their surname is Clark which I get all the time, I'm not really frustrated it's not an option, but I just felt the need to rant since I get it a lot. And if I"m having a bad day and play it can be pretty rough for me if I get it.
Just for information.
There are 18 male names, 19 female names, 21 surnames in the game.

Just like with movies, if you read at the bottom of the credits it will say that all names etc are fictitious and no there is nothing you can do about it. No matter what name is generated sooner or later somebody playing the game will either see it is their own name, a name of a family member, a friend, or a person they know/work with.

At this point I'd say you just need to get over your deceased uncle and play the game for what it is. Hell, spin it the other way and think of it as a tribute to him that way you won't think of it as a negative thing.

We've gotten a friend's name a few times, so we keep sending her snapchats of the ghost saying ♥♥♥♥ like "Hey it's you!" whenever it happens. Hasn't gotten old yet... well at least not to us.
