Naming Guidelines

'''All credit goes to Pirates Online. This is merely a resource guide.'''

Choosing a name for your Pirate will be the first of many important decisions you'll be making in Pirates of the Caribbean Online. Your Pirate name is the first impression other players will have of you, so be sure to think it through and choose wisely.

Although it is up to you to choose the perfect name for your character and/or guild, we do ask that you refrain from using certain types of names. Please use the guidelines outlined below to help you determine whether or not the name you have chosen is appropriate.

If you are having trouble coming up with a name on your own, you can always use the random name generator, which will instantly assign you a name without having to wait for approval.
