    How the Pirate Borg Name Generator works

    A Pirate Borg name generator for cursed pirate horror in the Caribbean. In Pirate Borg-style games, buccaneers sail haunted seas full of undead crews, sea monsters and dark magic, and nobody dies peacefully. Generate doomed pirates, ships, undead crews and haunted islands.

    How the Pirate Borg name generator works

    Pirates get Golden Age of Piracy first names, a grim surname and often a nickname, Grace "Hangman" Marrow. Ships get morbid names like the Rotting Widow, since cursed ships rarely get cheerful ones. Undead crews get names like the Drowned Brethren. Islands are named after skulls, bones and sorrow.

    Cursed, not just pirates

    This is pirate horror, so names should hint at death, the sea and curses, not just treasure.

    FAQ

    What do Pirate Borg names sound like?

    Dark and salty, with real Golden Age pirate first names, grim surnames and bloody nicknames. They sound like pirates who have seen too much and are probably cursed already.

    How should a cursed ship be named?

    Give it a morbid adjective and a death-linked noun, like the Screaming Coffin. The name should warn anyone who sees it that the ship is bad luck.

    How are undead crews named?

    Undead crews are named for how they died or what they became, like the Drowned Choir or the Bone Brethren. It hints at their history and their curse.

    Can I use these in other pirate games?

    Yes. The names are original and fit any pirate, cursed sea or horror adventure game or story, whatever system you use, and work well for villains in lighter pirate campaigns too.
