So has anyone watched Pirates of the Caribbean?
Yeah, Johnny Depp <3.
But more importantly, they're PIRATES!!
And they all have funky names.

So, spoons.
If you were a pirate, what name would you give yourself?
And what position in the crew would you have?

I might be One-Legged Ox (xDD).
And I would so be captain.
I gets a shiny telescope.

I think any person even slightly interested in the theme pirates has seen at least one PoTC movie. I don't think I've ever met someone who didn't know what it was, let alone seen or herd of some part to it.

"Why is the rum gone?!" and "I've got a jar of dirt~." are two quotes that I've herd from people who haven't even watched the movies, yet seen YouTube videos of scenes.


Haha. A pirate name? I have no clue!
Probably something leaning towards being active at night/being nocturnal.
As for position, it would preferably be working in the crows nest, or being a gunman.
Though, I'm more likely to be the cook or doctor on board, instead, as I'm much more knowledgeable about those sort of things.

I would call myself The Jestarrr hehe >.< Or something like that

And I would be first mate!
Woo >w<
~

xD
Why first mate and not Captain?
I think being a captain would be pretty cool.

Because I'm not comfortable leading I guess o.o hehe ^^'

If I were a pirate, my name would be...
Luz de los Cruz, and my ship would be the Santa Ricardo. :D
I would probably be the right-hand woman to a sexy pirate capp'n, but then I'd have to kill him and take his ship because that's what pirate second-in-commands do.
*coughs*
Though, if not, I'd have to be the Captain. Shiny telescopes are wonderful things, eh? I'd probably have all my members keep up with their hygiene and keep themselves looking super sexy, so I could put them all in belly shirts and leather...

Aaaaand this is getting weirder the more I describe it...

I'd prowl the coastlines of every major trade route and claim all their riches in the name of Spain! Or America! Whichever comes first! Depends on the time period!
Depends on who pays more for my booty! (oh, lol)

Newayz, I would have to gild my ship with gold and it would have red sails... on our flag would be a heart, as well as something sharp and pointy to stab through it, as our flag would have a huge rip in it from our many exciting pirate-y battles. Arrrg.

I'd be the richest pirate ever, btw.
:gold: moneymoneymoneymoney~ :gold:

I'd be Commander Quick-Snap Cricket, and I'd most likely be the first mate.

Id be the Boatswain >D
As for name, Ill be Jacques
So thatd make me a french pirate :yes:
Sacre blue!

yarr harr tis a pirates life for me ^w^
i gots me a good eyepatch and a gold hoop earing, and a skull bandana scarf, that i got in a pirate kit. it came with a little book o' pirate knowledge, (i'll post a bit of the quotes'n'facts later i dun't have the book wit me) i can't remmeber when 'international talk like a pirate day' is, i fail >.>

i'm planning on getting the book Pirateology tis should be interesting.

a pirate name for me,
well Cutlass Kate comes to mind, she's a character in the Vampirate book shes human.
( the Tempest twins are separated out at sea, Connor ends up with pirates but Sara i think her name was ends up with vampirates) tis a good book series, three are out and a fourth is on it's way, i'd love tah go to the pirate academy that connor ends up in the third book i think.

pirate academy would be a most fasinating school, with regular classes, along with ship skills and the always fun combat class. gotsa know how tah fight with sword and gun tis fun to be had.

Cutlass Kate is a good name but, tah be more original, I'd name myself Tsumetai XD
why not i think it's be a good pirate name since it means cold-hearted and bloodless,
i guess i'd be a bit of a evil pirate, killing without emotion muahaha

ah Captain, i'd like tah be in charge, that or look out in the crows nest, i like hights
'Sharp eye Tsumetai' has a ring to it. plus i'd get the all shiny telescope. OwO

damn I love POTC haha

I'd probably the person on top on the lookout with the telescope haha.

That's going to be fun cause you can see everything

There is a girl in my school named Luz DelaCruz, so I thought that was kinda funny how similar your pirate name is to her real name.

Oh, and Tsumetai, I have read the Vampirates book. The girl's name was Grace, not Sara.

I have seen (and owned at one time before my brother decided to take movies from my house) all of the PotC movies.

I would be the poor maiden they kidnapped who ends up falling for the handsome captain. And my name would be Emma, because I like that name.

I would be Captain Diehly Wheely...errrr or Captain Diehlynater...hummm...Captain Diehlster...no no going with Captain Diehly Wheely...

Best. Topic. Ever.

My pirate name would be Ciarda, because I have a pirate character named Ciarda, and it just seems like a cool pirate name. As for a pirate nickname... Um... Sea Wolf's Tooth! 'Fang' would make more sense, probably, but, Sea Wolf's Fang isn't... pirate-y enough...And also sounds too cool for someone like me. And I would only have that name if I got to pick it. If the other pirates nicknamed me, I'd be like... Gutless Jelleyfish... Or Scurvy... or One-Eyed Urchin... Or just something that did not command any respect at all. :P

I would likely want to be first mate, because I just watched Sinbad last night, and his first mate is pretty awesome. I liked that guy. Or I'd want to be the galley cook, so I could threaten the crew with frying pans and stuff. As cool as being captain would be, especially with awesome captains like Captain Jack Sparrow from PotC, Sinbad from... Sinbad, and Captain Amelia from Treasure Planet (not a pirate, but...) to cast glamor on the postion, but I am just not a good leader. And wouldn't want to be a leader, anyway.

Ah-arg! I would be Captain Quicksword and would so be captain. >D

Since Schrodinger already claimed richest pirate, I'd be most the fearsome pirate captainess on the seven seas, because according to those I've asked I get scary when I'm mad, so it works well. o 3o

My ship (the Silent Death she would be! Or... something. I'll get back to you on that one) would be gilded with thin, stainless steel (lol) and our sails would be as pitch black as the jolly roger, which bore a skull shaped hourglass with crossed cutlasses behind it.

The loot I didn't keep would be sold to which ever country would pay more for it (lol, great idea Schrodinger! More profit for us pirates that way!), but then I would send my sexy second in command - that nobody but myself and maybe a chosen few knew! - to go steal it back so we could sell it to them again as some 'new' loot! >D

Oh, I am SO evil. :D

Lathrine- Dibs on being your sexy second in command! WIN! *dances*

...Only I'm not sexy, but I can be if I'm a pirate. So that's okay. :P

Also, since I forgot to mention this, I'd want my ship to be named the Elizabeth Rose. (Only it wouldn't be mine, since I'm not captain, but oh well.) It doesn't strike fear into the hearts of many, but it's all sophisticated and stuff. We'd be the classiest crew ever!

I would be named "Maelina Riverdale" if I was a pirate.

i've found me 'pirate booty' book!
tis a mini book o piraty knowledge (game in my priate kit with my eyepatch, earring and bandana)

here be some bits from said tiny book

"Blackbeard, whose real name was Edward Teach, sailed the Queen Anne's Revenge during the Golden Age of Piracy. Blackbeard enjoyed a relatively short time as a pirate from 1716 to 1718 but caused much mayhem during that period. He sailed in the Caribbean and raided coastal towns for food, liquor, weapons and valuables. Rumour has it that his nickname came from his habit of weaving hemp and lit matches into his beard during battle. Blackbeard met his unfortunate demise when a British lieutenant tricked Blackbeard into boarding his believed-to-be deserted ship."

yarrr he be a scurvy dog of a lieutenant *spits* tah be pulling such a trick

'International Talk Like a Pirate Day is September 19th'

darn i missed that, i couldve been all 'yarr harr ahoy avast get me some grog yah scurvy dog' etc

" Calico Jack, whose real name is John Rackham, sailed the Caribbean with two of the most famous female pirates. Anne Bonny and Mary Reed. Calico Jack's nickname came from the crazy calico pants he frequently wore. He is credited with flying the first image of the Jolly Rodger (skull and crossbones) as his flag. After several close calls aboard the Revenge, Calico Jack and his crew were caught unaware off the coast of Jamaica by a pirate hunter, Jonathan Barnet, and found guilty of piracy."

a bit o pirate song:

"Fifteen men on the dead man's chest
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!

Drink and the devil had done for the rest
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!"

(Repeat as necessary)

hope ye'all have enjoyed tis little bit o priraty facts

Bah, I could make up my own name.
Or I could be even more super-cool and just go back in time and take over the life of a real, famous pirate.

Either Anne Bonney (minus the pathetic Calico Jack) or Grace O'Malley.
I think I lean to Grace O'Malley, since I don't think I'd enjoy the lovely few month stay in the Tower of London that Anne Bonney got.
But at least her pregnancy got her out of hanging, so I suppose Calico Jack was of some use to her.

If you couldn't tell, I have a thing for Pirates and History. *squee*

@Tsumetai:
I think I have the same book.
Unfortunately, it would be wrong on Blackbeard.
Blackbeard met his death when he attempted to shut down a port city in North Carolina, obviously, the British had some small problem with this and sent some of the Royal Navy Fleet over and he lost, badly. His head was cut off and his body tipped overboard.
