What was your reasoning behiend naming your first pirate?

[SteamweaverJ]

Am a fan of the steam-and-cyberpunk sci fi genres, and am fascinated with basket and bead weaving ... thus Steamweaver, and I just like the name Jihara (Slice of Life, my first pirate). Rachael (DW) is named after the is-she-or-isn't-she replicant Rachael in the cyberpunk film Blade Runner. Dolly Daeger (DW) is from a Hendrix song (and cuz i love daggers in-game), and Gracie O'Maille (my wee one, with Pixies) is named for an infamous Irish pirate queen.

Well,.. John Travolta is my favorite,. so name my Pirate Chili Bang Bang,.. ( from name Chili Palmer )

I'm not going to go into details but I named my pirate Sunny Sweeney as a joke for a friend and it somewhat backfired on me. Now that I gotten so far into the game, I don't want to make a new pirate lol.

haha well I used my alias for my priate name. Lars Honeytoast! but in pirates im only Lars. Honeytoast woulndt fit.
I also gave him a stupid name becuase I though I wouldnt like all this online gaming stuff, but hey what do you know, I like it!

I went with one of their names for my first Pirate Ben Swordmonger POTCO was my first online game and I wasn't sure I'd like it and stick around, Well that was over 2 years ago and I'm still here. I chose custom names for my other pirates. Wolf Larsen is named for a Sea Captain character in the Jack London novel "The Sea Wolf". I'm Cherokee and of the Wolf Clan of that tribe, so my next two pirates were named Mike Tahlequah. Tahlequah is the capitol of the cherokee nation and originally my home town. And my 4th pirate Mike Night Wolf.

[Sven Niscadae]

Sven Niscadae is a play on the word spheniscidae which is the genus for penguins. My alt, Adelie Pygoscelis -- same reasoning. Pygoscelis adelie is the biological classification for the adelie species.

My other pirate is Freddie. Because I made him look like Freddie Mercury. Because he rocked.

Yes, I'm a dork like that.
