There's a table on page 131 of Skull & Bones that lists the names of every ship that was in the Caribbean during a set period of years (I can't remember which--sometime in the late 17th/early 18th century).

When chosing the names for my pirate ships I went to an old Tyrone Power film called The Black Swan. I wanted a pair of twin ships and I liked the name of that one so much that I used it. The Black Swan's twin became The White Raven. A little nod to swashbuckling films and Greek mythology.

The Sassy Lass --good for a crew of female pirates...

Wretched Excess --okay, so that sounds more like a Culture starship...

Grim Fandango --helps if Fandango's are actually some kind of monter in the setting...

Hot Cross Guns --only if gunpowder's available... and the pirate's are Catholic...

If I Stop Moving, I Die --definitely a Culture ship...

The Ancient Marinator --good if the captian a cocktail-swilling alcoholic...

The Windlast --good for slow-moving pirate ships.

The Hardy Martyr --that's actaully kinda cool...
