I need to come up with a name for a group of NPC's who are taking PC's family members and friends from the past to get information. The creepy evil clan are going to mirror the party's characters but with an evil twist, but I can't think of a name for them that feels gross, creepy and really shows how evil they are. I like Critical Role's Iron Shepherds but think it needs to be more foreboding and creepy. Any ideas?
You might not take one of those "as-is", but at the very least it's likely to spark some idea, or allow you to make a variant of one of the generator's outputs which fits your mood better.

I'm partial to the "Wu-Tang Clan". Cause The Wu-Tang Clan ain't nothing to **** with!!!
Seriously though you could go with historical clans names. Words with meaning in other languages. Something with significance to your setting such as "The Red scales" which may foreshadow a red dragon down the road.
I suggest using a creepy name generator or a creepy word generator and see what sticks! If they are mirroring the players, maybe they can be something like the soul stealers or something. Maybe towns think that they are demons and spread rumors about them stealing souls or something. I'm not great at helping with stuff but here is a list of words that are kinda gross and creepy.
How about the Looking Glass, does not sound imposing at first, but since your using mirror twisted characters, you could have them see their twisted double every time they pass a mirror or any reflective service, torturing their family and friends. Every time they try to save a family member they are too late, and when they see themselves in a reflective service, they see "Looking Glass" written in their love ones blood, written all around them in their current location, with blood covering their hands. The warped version of reality is only visible when looking into a reflective surface.
The Missing Shard, The Black Mirror (yes, straight ripped off), The Cracked Reflection, The Horrifying Visage, The Refraction, The Mental Break, The Buried Sliver, The Jagged Shard

Its up to you really.

sinister, ghoulish, foul, ghastly, nauseating, repugnant, rotten, vile, vulgar, satiating, Cadaver, lurking, morbid, occult, unnerving, abomination
I hope this helps!
