Pirate Name Generator

Get pirate names for you, a character or a crew member. Pick a rank and a style.

Your result will appear here.

Get a list of pirate names for yourself, a character, a game or a party. Choose a rank and a style, add your own name if you want it to inspire a few of the results, and press the button for a fresh crew every time.

Names for every rank

Pick Captain for names with a commanding ring, First mate or Navigator for sturdy crew names, or Ship's cook for something with a bit of humour. Classic swashbuckler names sound like a Golden Age crew, funny names play with nicknames, and fantasy names lean into legend.

Names for people, not ships

This page makes names for individual pirates, from the captain down to the cook. Use it for a character, a costume, a game handle or a party.

Questions

Is the pirate name generator free?

Are these names of real pirates?

Will I get the same names again?

Yes. They are invented suggestions. Check that a name does not clash with an existing game, book or trademark if you plan to publish it.
