For example, Stinking Pete or Silly Shelly. Another way to come up with your own pirate name is to think about some pirate or sea-related terms, such as tide or skull. From these terms, we could come up with the following names, Old-Tide Sammy or Davey Dark-Skull. Try these two techniques for yourself and see if you can come up with any creative pirate names!
