You can be sure of whatever you want to. But these titles have quite obvious meanings. And they are readable enough to correctly guess most features of enemy Pretenders. At least for me they are.
Well, some of them are fairly obvious, yes. But for example, I remade this particular pretender about 40x in a row, trying to get a title that lacked 2 specific titles, and included 1 specific title. It took many tries, but eventually I got one that was acceptable. It seems to me from the vast variety of titles that I received, that while you can absolutely say a little about any given pretender, you can't easily say a lot.

Agreed that something particularly impressive can be hard to get, especially when you really want it. Sorry if I sounded particularly harsh - I thought that you continued a discussion from previous thread which should have ended after KO's post.
As for Gandalf's question - while renaming could be somewhat useful against unwary player (and for this you can check a list which is here somewhere), the specifics are such that there are no titles present for low Astral which can't be present for high one afaik. The only possibility I see is to have low Dominion which limits a number of titles, then with, e.g., extreme scales you can have just one Astral title which leaves your opponent guessing whether you actually have only low Astral - or you are just masking it!
As for (renaming?) trick being banned in MPs - don't think so. It's quite easy to see through, after all.

If you bring back a dead tartarian from the hall of Fame with ritual of rebirth, it will return as a giant mummy with lower stats but without shattered soul.

I wasn't even aware that you can bring back dead undead until I tried it for fun when the game was already decided.
