Discover your inner Pirate

Tired of just being plain ol' you today? Stuck in a creative rut? Discover your inner Pirate.
What is your Pirate name?

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!

Get your own pirate name from piratequiz.com.
