Erin B. Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Ahoy mates, I am currently working on a rip-roaring, barnacle-busting, swashbuckling sea adventure and I find myself in need of some pirates. So I said to myself "Hey my mates at Earth-2 might be able to help me out". What I need are some pirate names. And what do you get in return? Well a dedication in my book (if I ever finish and publish it) and "your name" in print. Restrictions: The book takes place in the Golden Age of Piracy (think Captain Morgan, Captain Kidd, Blackbeard, etc.), so no space pirate names. We're talking cannons, pistols, and cutlass here. Otherwise, go on account (that's pirate slang for signing up) and set sail for places unknown. Hope you have fair winds and following seas, Erin B.

Stavros Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Can't think of any non-smutty ones (Master Bates, Roger the Cabin Boy, etc) but this might help- Pirate name generator For most of the crew its best to go with one-word names like Mullins or Harper.

Erin B. Posted November 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Smutty names are okay by me. I've got a wench named Ann Saucy (she's a cook and she's a saucy wench). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuaveStar Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Maybe you could have for humour purposes all the pirates have names like: Barrith the barnacle Stennith the staker Primo the prime macemaker and then one just: And that's Steven.....the guy who works in the kitchen.

Stavros Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 William "Rapier" Hannigan? Cassius O'Flannigan? Its a pirate ship not a leprechaun convention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erin B. Posted November 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Don't forget that there were other kinds of pirates besides buccaneers. There were the corsairs of the Mediterranean and the Eastern pirates of China and Japan, not to mention the lady pirates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
