Bloody WIlliam Kidd
Wow, that's weird, considering that the original Captain William Kidd is known to have frequented my hometown, and is rumored to have left buried treasure on a small island just offshore, on his last visit before being arrested and tried for murder in Boston in 1699. And nowhere in the pirate name generator did it ask where I was from.

Red Ethel Rackham
I like it, I've posted it in my workspace and now am insisting that employees use that name or else I shall ignore them.

We should get a Rackham family reunion together or something....Seems like half of the people on here have that last name.
MTA: The "Kidd" reference earlier made me think that perhaps the surnames are all real pirates. I'm not up on Pirate history (I know, a flaw in my personality), but I did find this:
Though perhaps best known for his association with female pirates Anne Bonny and Mary Read, John Rackham´s exploits merit more than a passing consideration. He stood out for the flamboyant finery he wore -- the name "Calico Jack" came from his tendency to dress in calico coats and britches-- and he was also known for his innovative Jolly Roger design that he flew. More significantly for pirate afficionados, he did manage to plunder his fair share of shipping prizes.

Your pirate name is:
Captain Ethel Bonney AARRR! Where be the rest 'O me smarmy clan?
Even though there's no legal rank on a pirate ship, everyone recognizes you're the one in charge. You can be a little bit unpredictable, but a pirate's life is far from full of certainties, so that fits in pretty well. Arr!
Mitch & Pete's Mom
Hello my name is:
Bloody Anne Kidd
Every pirate lives for something different. For some, it's the open sea. For others (the masochists), it's the food. For you, it's definitely the fighting. Even though you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr!
Must practice swagger while walking down the hall at work today.

Another Bonney here....
A pirate's life isn't easy; it takes a tough person. That's okay with you, though, since you a tough person. You can be a little bit unpredictable, but a pirate's life is far from full of certainties, so that fits in pretty well. Arr!
First or last...it's the same finish line
