Pirate names for boys have endless adventure in their sails. Scrappy and rugged, these outlaw picks are waiting for a rowdy baby boy to sail the ocean with.
Pirate This is the most popular of all boy pirate names. He’s a to-the-point moniker and doesn’t play games. Although he’s bold, he may not be the best option for certain places because pirates still roam in some areas of the globe. Captain is another pirate-themed option, and he also comes with leadership tones. You could use names such as Ace or Hunter, since pirates are known for carrying weapons. You could also choose a name that reflects what pirates want: Silver or Gold.
Pirate names for boys usually have a specific sound, allowing you to branch out from word names. Gunder, for instance, has a tough feel that wears well on a pirate ship. Jagger and Cutler could also be members of his crew. They share his gritty sound, and we can imagine them manning the crow’s nest. Blackstone and Iver sound like pirate captains to me, while Rigg sounds more like a young pirate who is eager to learn the ropes.
Not all pirate names for boys are out there, though. Many of these names originate from nicknames, such as Jack. Jack Sparrow made Jack a household name in recent times. Jack was also the name for many pirates of the past. Bart’s style is similar, and we love the simplicity of his approach. Ollie and Iggy are two other great pirate picks that have nickname origins.
If you’re still unsure, you could always look at meanings for inspiration. Hudd, for example, is an English pick meaning “brave rule.” Kendon is another who translates to “brave guard.” For something a touch more dramatic, check out Lothar, a German name meaning “famous warrior.”
As you can see, pirate names for boys are as diverse as the seas they roam. Take a look at our selection of sea-roaming animals.
