The kids and I got a fun pirate book recently and inside was a chart to help you find your pirate name. Unfortunately, their chart left us a bit flat (9 out of 10 names were for boy pirates, for instance!) so we came up with our own pirate name generator.
To find your pirate name:
Pick 3 numbers, each one ranging from 1-10 (you can use the same number more than once).
If you’d like a boy pirate name, pick a number between 1-5 for the last number.
If you’d like a girl pirate name, choose a number between 6 and 10 for the last number.
Then find the word that corresponds from each list:
First word:
- Big
- Long
- Blue
- Jolly
- Red
- Cold
- Green
- One
- Black
- Stump
Second word:
- Eye
- Boot
- Belly
- Bottom
- Leg
- Ear
- Mouth
- Tooth
- Lip
- Foot
Third word:
- Bob
- Willy
- Bart
- Bill
- Kid
- Ann
- Bonny
- Bess
- Gert
- Sue
For instance, if your child chose 147, She’d be Big Boot Bonny. 752 would be Green Leg Willy. 333 would be Blue Belly Bart. And so on.
Feel free to make up your own lists too!
What a FUN way to celebrate PIRATE NAMES!!! What is baby-to-be’s pirate name??? 🙂
so fun! my boys are “Stump Mouth Kid” and “Stump Bottom Kid” and i’m “Jolly Ear Bonny”.
Hi, I’m Big Belly Bonny!! I really love your ideas, and my little girls love them too
Thanks! And I have to say that’s my favorite pirate name yet. It suits me, actually, at the moment! 🙂
Love it! We are doing a pirate unit study and this works great for their “Pirate ID Cards”
Thanks for this list! I’m doing a pirate themed 6th birthday party & want to give each child their pirate name when they “join the crew”. Some of the online generators aren’t exactly “kid appropriate”.
I was inspired by your list and added to it… Then turned it into an Android app. Hope you like it.

This is perfect for my 3 year old’s birthday party. As a pp mentioned, some of the other online generators were not kid appropriate. Thanks for making this!
So cute and just what I needed! Thanks
These were JUST what i needed to make everyone’s pirate name badges for my son’s birthday party. I linked to your site here: http://notyournormalsteam.wordpress.com/2013/09/24/arg-matey-its-a-pirate-party-part-3-favors/
