The nameless

No one in Fallen London has names.

You don't, certainly. And then there's the Rubbery Men, the Contessa, the Melancholy Curate, the Starveling Cat. The only person with a name is Madame Shoshanna.

How do names work in Knife and Candle? Do you forgo the namelessness of the browser game and have a list of descriptive nouns and adjectives?

There are a few others that are named and it really makes them stand out from the pack and makes you wonder why they have that distinction.

I rather like the idea of 'names' cobbled together from lists of adjective and nouns.  Moreover, I like the idea of those titles shifting as the game goes on.  It might be a little confusing at the table though. 

Add to that the fact that the most sinister figures in the game are the only ones with 'normal' sounding names - the masters of the bazaar (Mr. Wine, Mr. Iron, whatever)

Names are so important!

I really like the idea that characters don't have proper names by default. Maybe getting a name is the ungiven future?

Ooooh, I like that a lot. Maybe your name becomes a custom quality that expands a move of your choice?
