They probably did need to come up with an actual name for the character.

I could just be forgetting forget what other characters call her in her own series.

It's technically Spider Woman. But frankly that name is kind of overused.
In fact, there are about 40 different spider themed heroes and villains. The names are sorta running thin.

there are currently FIVE people who have used Spider-Woman for an extended period of time, and the longer that Gwen is gonna be treated by a big deal the more she needs to be set apart from Jessica.

It also doesn't come with any unfortunate implications like how every cartoon and ancillary media project tries to find some way of calling Miles Morales anything BUT Spider-Man.

I think it would be hilarious if she was just called Spider Gwen and there was just no acknowledgement whatsoever that it makes her secret identity super obvious.

Ghost spider is an actual kind of spider, it's like having a character named Tarantula or Black Widow.

Well... Same problem
Also it feels kinda skeevy to call someone Spider-Girl when she went by Spider-Woman so far.

Why yes it is taken!
I wasn't really kidding when I said there were 40 different spider themed people around. It's really excessive.

Peter Parker started calling himself Spider-Man when he was fifteen, Miles Morales was 13 (though there's other reasons not to name your all new Black Spider-Character Spider-Boy). Assuming Gwen is the same age as 616 Peter Parker she'd be in her late 20's.

I'll be honest, I really love Ghost Spider as a name. It's cool and her costume is mostly white with a hood, like a cheesy ghost costume.

I like the fact that Quake seems to be (part) Asian. They probably did that to reflect Chloe Bennet. Even though that doesn't really look like her at all.
Or was Daisy's mother always Asian? She doesn't really look like it in the comics.

I know it was at least retconned to be true in the comics(They made the prostitute that Zabo knocked up an Inhuman and asian.). But I believe that was after the show started going down that path.

Did Stacey have pink streaks before at some point, or did she steal that hairdo from the other Gwen?

She didn't, which is just. Really confusing. She's Spider-Gwen but nobody calls her that and she also looks like Gwenpool now who has no relation to Gwen Stacy or Deadpool except she looks like them and has a similar name. And now Spider-Gwen is actually Ghost-Spider but still probably going to be referred to as Spider-Gwen but not in-fiction and she looks like Gwenpool but has no relation and :psyduck:
