The Spookbloods (RoW & M:SH Spoilers)

So this is less of a theory and more of a "huh, that would be neat, wouldn't it?" thought I had today. 

From Rhythm of War, one of the funnest cosmeric connections made is that

Thaidakar, the leader of the Ghostbloods is almost definitely Kelsier. 

This got me to thinking - in the final part of Mistborn: Secret History,

Kelsier appears to the now-Mistborn Spook and says he wants to figure out a way to get himself back into the Physical Realm. 

Considering Brandon has told us that similar-sounding names are usually done on purpose (I think the example is that the Worldsingers of Roshar and the Worldbringers of Scadrial are somehow connected), I was thinking that there's an obvious connection between these two: (the rest of my not-theory contained in the spoiler)

"Ghost" in Ghostbloods and Spook, like referring to "a spook" as a ghost. Considering this, is it possible (probable?) that Kelsier is not only the leader of the Ghostbloods, but the founder of the Ghostbloods - his team-up with Spook to find a way to get himself back into the Physical Realm and snatch away some good ol' Investiture from other planets to boot? I'm also thinking that Ghostbloods could have been a weird translation error between Scadrian languages and Rosharan, like "bird" and "chicken". Maybe they were named the Spookbloods to begin with, but since there is no direct translation into a Rosharan word, it became the Ghostbloods instead. 

Like I said, not much of a theory - but if that's the case, I'd be pretty happy!
