To make cool pirate names I use a mixture of good old English names, combined with surnames with the proper feel. To spice the names up, the random generator adds expressions, nouns, verbs etc. from a sailor jargon.
The pirate names shows good variation due to a complex random algorithm, that combines the different names, surnames and jargon into new names.
Female names

Piracy definition
The United Nations definition of piracy sounds like this: Piracy consists of any criminal acts of violence, detention, rape, or depredation committed for private ends by the crew or the passengers of a private ship or aircraft.
Piracy is indeed a dirty business. Both now and in the past. So even though the movie industry and literature usually glorifies piracy and the criminal acts on the sea, piracy has never been and will never romantic and heroic as described.
