spook names

Spook aristocrats seem to have a special preference for some names. Many seem mundane and are also used by commoners. Clearly, not everyone who uses them is a spook! But the reason the spooks like these names is that they have a second meaning, as punny transcriptions & translations of ancient governing titles, e.g. English Milk for Hebrew Melek meaning “governor”, or English Rice for Arabic Raees meaning “chief”. As names have no context, much of this is guesswork.
