Arrrrrr…. What’s yer pirate name?!

My pirate name is:

Bloody Harry Rackham

You have the good fortune of having a good name, since Rackham (pronounced RACKem, not rack-ham) is one of the coolest sounding surnames for a pirate. Every pirate lives for something different. For some, it’s the open sea. For others (the masochists), it’s the food. For you, it’s definitely the fighting. Even through many pirates have a reputation for not being the brightest souls on earth, you defy the sterotypes. You’ve got taste and education. Arr!

Like anyone confronted with the harshness of robbery on the high seas, you can be pessimistic at times. You have the good fortune of having a good name, since Rackham (pronounced RACKem, not rack-ham) is one of the coolest sounding surnames for a pirate. Arr!

Completing this little fun exercise got me thinking some on pirates, lady pirates to be exact. I poked around a bit and came across Anne Bonny who it appears lead a pretty interesting life alongside her “pirate lover” with whom she committed adultery against her husband then committed to a life of pillaging and plundering the waters of the Caribbean. She and her lover, John “Calico Jack” Rackham were captured but not without a fight which Anne reportedly more than held her own in. They were both sentenced to death; however it is thought that Anne may have been rescued by her Father a powerful British plantation owner. Arr!
