Make a Pirate Name

If you've got the costume and the occasion, all that's left is to to come up with an awesome pirate name! Pirates shall rule!

Steps

Choose the name of bird or a parasitic animal. Think of different birds or animals and the habits, traits and activities that they are renowned for. Select one that appeals most to you. Some examples include:
- Buzzard, Crow, Mocking, Raven, Hawk, Snail, Possum, Barnacle
Change the spelling of the name that you have chosen to make it look like a person's name, rather than a bird or animal name. For example:
- Raven to Rave
- Hawk to Hawkin
- Crow to Crowe (this one could be not as wise in Southern states of the US)
- Magpie to Maggie
Add a modifier to your name that describes something about your personality or physical characteristics. That way when you tell people your name it really makes sense. For example:
- Stubborn Mock
- Limping Hawkin
- Crowe the One-Eyed
- Glowering Maggie
Choose a first name that will ring with the other two. Try using the same sounds in the names so it sounds smooth to the ear. Some examples include:
- Rowdy Roy Ravenhook,
- Frank Big-hearted Stoutbeard, etc.

Also keep in mind that sometimes pirates didn't choose their name, they earned it or where called it by fellow crew members, whether they liked it or not!
Pirates came from all over the world. There were Spanish pirates, Asian pirates, English pirates, etc. So decide which type of pirate you are and speak with that accent. Remember if all pirates spoke with an English accent it would get boring.
Use your imagination and be creative. There is no ideal "perfect" pirate name, so make yours different.
Remember that usually a pirate's name was something that mentioned some act they did or do, or part of their appearance, demeanor, their nationality, hell; even about how or where they were born.

Do not use wimpy animals or birds in your name or you will get ridiculed. How much respect does the name Canary Harry demand, or what about Fat Joe Peacock, or even Tall Parakeet Bill. Try to use more ominous names like Buzzard Bill Longtoe.
A pirate name without the act is nothing! But don't overdo the act or it will appear like it is. (Which what it is is forced)
