I have played many RPG's over the years, and other games where you name your charater. I have always strived to have a unique name.
When I came to pirates I made a pirate for my son. I used the random feature till my son said that sounds cool. His First pirate's name is James Daggersteel. I in turn kept Daggersteel as my Dname on my accounts. I then decided to make a pirate of my own.
My first pirate's name is Rannulf Fritzwilliam. It was a slight change to a name of the lead charature in a book I was reading at the time about a Templar at the fall of Jereusalem. I changed the last name a bit so I did not copy it excatly.
My second was named in a simular fashion. I took the last name of a book charature and gave him a new first name. I went Spanish for this guy. He is Named Baldomero De Montcada. Baldomero means brave and bold, since I saw this guy like a old school swordfighter.
The rest of my pirate names I found on the internet searching for names of the pirate period 1600-1720. My third's name came from the names written in a ships log. He was a Scotsman. Forsy Balcorme. My fourth's insperation came from at worlds end. I wanted a chinese pirate. So I searched for historical chinese pirates. The name is a combo of real pirates. Cheng Po Zhi.
I made a second account. Their names came to me the same as the others, but I wanted pirates from other parts of the world like the Pirate Lords. Nazzim Abu Qasim Sailed with Armand the Corsair. Rolivier L'Ollonais with Chevallis. I then remembered how many dutch pirates sailed the Caribbean and Piet Van Jander came to be. My last was a shifty lad Named Finnegan O'Finch, he hates the Navy he was press ganged into.
I have a bio for all that ties them to the game my guild, and history. I may post that someday here when I have time.
