Eh, I don't think we should use the term "shinigami". Had Lich and Eater appeared in the Enbizaka novel, I'd go with it since we kept Japanese names/words the same (i.e. Ren instead of Len) but given the setting I wouldn't go for it.

Not everyone knows what a shinigami is and it literally translates to death god, so I'd just cut out the middle man and go with either "dead gods" as a sort of ref to how they are actually dead god kin, or "death gods" considering their connection to Gluttony and it's connection to Death.
