I have a frigate named Scallywag Dragon because I thought it sounded funny and a war sloop named Fortune Hunter because I wanted to use it to get more gold.

I'm saving up my gold now for a war frigate cause those things are wicked awesome.

I couldn't even begin to tell you what the names of any of mine are - on open or test. I'm pretty sure a couple of em have Crimson in the name though. I tend to just want to be done with the whole process of buying/name a new ship and hit random name.

Sailing is my least favorite part of the game, perhaps that's why I don't care too much what the ship is called. What a worthless pirate I am, I prefer the cannons over sailing any day.



The option of custom names would be nice but of course, that would have to go through Disney's filtering process and we all know how long it takes for name/guild approvals already. Can you imagine adding custom ship names too?

I have one set of repititive stupid names for Dog: the Cutthroat Cutter (War Sloop); the Bountyhunter Hunter (War Galleon, not yet purchased); and the Headhunter Hunter (War Frigate, not yet purchased).

For Artful, I picked names (or have yet to pick names) of a more devilish sort, if you understand them that is: one was the Vagrant Lion, and the other was to be the Star-chaser Dragon. I really like that second name, and it's to be the chief ship of the Charming Thieves.

For the namesake League, I have planned: the Fortune Queen, the Barnacle or something else King, and the something Explorer.

I'm a Disney freak so they have names associated with something Disney.

My current ship is the Sea Sultan in honor of Aladdin. My previous ship was the Black Tritan, in honor of the little mermaid. My War Galleon will have the name Dragon in it in honor of the most powerful force in the universe, Malelicent.

I TOTALLY wish we had this, too. If I could, I'd probably name my ship after one of Jack Aubrey's ships in the books by Patrick O'Brian (the Surprise, the Sophie, or even the horrible old Leopard!). Especially for my pirate whose surname is Aubrey-Maturin.

But for right now, I pretty much name them based on the type of ship it is and what that ship's qualities are. So I have the Renegade Queen (Galleon), Storm Cutter (Sloop), and Scarlet Hunter (Light Galleon) for one pirate and Fortune Hunter (Light Frigate), Black Stallion (Light Galleon), and Sea Brig (Light Sloop) for the other. Although I really want the ability to name a Galleon the Sea Slug!

It also seems like there are a lot of Walter Farley fans here, since I have seen more ships called the Black Stallion than anything else!

So my ships are all named Vagrant [purpose] - so the War Frigate is the Executioner because thats what it does... kills everything in sight The Raider for my War Galleons does just that... riads and plunders! My Second War Frigates get Sabre because their function is to be backup for my first one and cut through any remaining competition out there
