Looking for pirate name suggestions


OryginalCinn

Recommended Posts

As I was busily carving my way through the second draft of my pirate novel, I realized that several of the characters sincerely needed name changes. Thought I'd toss it out here - any suggestions for

1. a Spanish female pirate who needs a "real" name plus a piratical variation of that to go on her wanted posters

2. the male villain

I really want to come up with something that has not been overused, and if anyone gives me the perfect name, I'll credit you in the book if/when it is published. The story is being written as "a legend" so it need not be all that serious of a name.

Thanks!

By all means, kill the whelp!

...or at least give him a good flogging. Better yet, let me do it.

Michael the Ready sounds like a good fellow to know. I shall certainly keep that one in mind; I may have a use for it if not in this particular scribble.

Your suggestions are much appreciated!

Desdemona San Tiera (the demon princess of the seas)

Lord Reginald Chadeau (pronounced "shadow" not really a true Lord but gave himself the title to win favor among French Nobles only to rob them blind.)

Raphael Ghiaccio (pronounced Jach-e-o..the Italian word for ice. Also known as "Raphael the Cold". Let's hear it for some Italian pirates)

Thank you all again. There are lots of ideas here I'd not have come up with on my own. I'll have to see what fits best for the characters. :)

Diosa - that would be great, actually, no matter what the character is named. Once I get this puppy published we can do a lot of fun stuff for events that will be mutually benficial.

if there's a part where a really sexy shirtless (but has his coat) pirate gives a certain crew member a backrub, i'd be willing to do that little skit in the bookstore.

hmmm... since I already offered to be the female character in person... and Cinn seems to be ok with that, I guess that means I get the back rub. so nyah!!! :lol:
