As usual, I'm suffering writer's block in coming up with names. I need a few good names for both pirates and pirate ships... I looked up famous pirate ship names, and I'm afraid most of the better ones are too well known (The Revenge, the Black Pearl, etc)

and, I need a few pirate names for ship captains as well - and, again, Blackbeard, Calico Jack Rackham and Anne Bonny are too well known.

Thanks

Most pirate names are pretty ordinary, Morgan, Kidd, Teach (aka Blackbeard) and so forth. As for ship names, steal from the Royal Navy, wikipedia has a pretty comprehensive list of RN ship names, some pretty cool names in there, Audacious, Warspite, Repulse, Devestation, Thunderer and so forth.

It's shameless pillaging of names (but hey, "pillaging" is what pirates do), but WizKids Pirates cards are a great source of names.

For some reason or another I got a pack for this little ship battle game where you build the ships out of cards you punched the pieces out of. Anyway the upshot of that is one of the ships I got was the Longshanks which I thought was a terribly cool name. Evidently it was supposed to be pretty fast.

I like it - though, I notice they stole a few names (Arabella is from "Captain Blood" no?)
