I had a friend who named all his ships for Limey's and Slimey's really crude names. My favorite was the Sea Slut.

Of course, who can forget the Salty Whore, the ship from the movie Cabin Boy?

Remember that the mythical stereotypical pirate (like those in role-playing games) is a really, really, hideously vulgar person. Ship names should reflect that.

Depends on if they want to be feared

Many Pirates may not want to draw attention to their occupation until its either pointless (they're too well known) or they are powerful enough to not care.

Quiet names:

The Ocean Spray, The Ocean Dove, pearl etc....

Bravado Names:

The Orcs Ruin, The Captains Fist, Slavers Doom

Rancid Names

The Widows Cancer, The Busted Bone,

Poor ol' players in my Kingdoms of Kalamar pirate campaign have "Plomplern's Glory" which was generated off of the random ship name generator on the KoK DM screen. Anyways, so Plomplern is the now deceased captain of "Plomplern's Glory" who picked up a nasty virus from one of the vicedens in Vrandol, returned to Dayolen, Mendarn and died. Good ship!
