Top 50 Captain Pirate Names

The Golden Age of Piracy (1650-1730) produced some of history's most colorful characters. Real pirates like Blackbeard, Anne Bonny, and Bartholomew Roberts had names that struck terror across the Caribbean. A great pirate name combines a title, a first name, and a fearsome epithet.

The Captain was elected by the crew in most pirate ships, unlike naval vessels. Famous captains include Blackbeard (Edward Teach), Captain Kidd, and Henry Morgan. The title carried supreme authority aboard ship but could be revoked by vote.
