Top 50 Commodore 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.

Commodore was used by pirate fleet commanders, particularly in the Caribbean. The title implied command over multiple captains and ships. Bartholomew Roberts, history's most successful pirate, effectively held this rank.
