If'n ye need a pirate name then sail over to one of these islands:
this one uses your real name
this one uses a personality test, in fact they say this about me:

My pirate name is: Black Tom Flint

Like anyone confronted with the harshness of robbery on the high seas, you can be pessimistic at times. Like the rock flint, you're hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you're easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!

Here lie some pirate jokes

Beware of the RIAA and MPAA privateer scallywags, they will plunder your treasure. Aye mate, be careful the FBI makes pirates walk the plank

sincerely, Cap'n Booker Bloodgut

Yes, I am a pirate
Two hundred years too late
The cannons don't thunder
There's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over forty victim of fate
Arriving too late
Arriving too late
- from the song "A Pirate Looks At Forty" by Jimmy Buffett (c) 1974
