Sailing the high seas... Names fit for a pirate captain?

Fictional or nonfictional pirate names, what are some of your favorites that bring up thoughts of salt water spray and black flags?

one, two

A Song of Ice and [name_m]Fire[/name_m] series has made me fall hopelessly in love with Victarion.

Though I think a lot of the piratey-ness is in the nicknames.
Names like [name_m]Jack[/name_m] and [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] and [name_m]George[/name_m], [name_m]John[/name_m], and [name_m]Ben[/name_m] can just as readily be pirate names paired with the right surname or nickname.

Nicknames are pirate-y. Lol gosh, [name_m]Ferdinand[/name_m] has been a long time favorite, although I never really associated it with salty sea dogs. I might look at it a little differently now.

ooh, [name_m]Rogen[/name_m] and Ribaldi are cool ones.

@saracita Oooo, [name_m]Bartelby[/name_m] and [name_m]Rogen[/name_m] are marvelous! [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] seems more like a scholar to me.
