We all want our own Black Pearl, Queen Anne's Revenge and Flying Dutchman!
But what is your legendary ship going to be called? This is a post for you to share your ship names and maybe help others find cool ship names for themselves!
Heres a Tutorial of how to make a Ship Name!
Prefix
The Prefix is the first word of your ship name, such as Black in Black Pearl or Queen in Queen Anne's Revenge, good prefixes are unique so I would stay away from colours personally as it makes the ship sound boring, but can work if you have a good follow up word to fill the gap.
**Examples of Prefixes:
Try using Determiners, Adjectives and Colours for your prefix. This will give you the ability to add meaning to your ship and crew, and also try relating it to your goal for example if you are a crew that wants to focus on the magic and dark side of the world then use words such as Dark and Creepy to add motives to your ship name!
- Indigo
- White
- Sweet
- Dark
- Mouldy
- Oaken
- Ye Old
- The
- Ancient
Suffix
You can use a suffix to end your prefix and add 2 words to your ship. Suffixes are made up of nouns. Try using Nouns, Animals, Mythical Creatures and Items for this.
- Dagger
- Basilisk
- Lion
- Crown
- Frenchman
- Sinker
- Candy
One Word Names
One Word Names are really hard to come up with that can satisfy you or your crew, but can hold a lot of impact. If the one word annoys you, you can add a determiner such as My, The, Thy or a pronoun such as Ye, Her, His to turn the word into a 2 word name.
One Word Example
- Ogre
- Destroyer
- Explorer
- Lioness
2 Word Example
- The Ogre
- Thy Destroyer
- Ye Explorer
- His Lioness
Max words for a Ship?
I would say 3 - 4 words, anymore and you will have a sentence instead of a name.
For 4 word names I would suggest it being something like The Queen Anne's Revenge Instead of Queen Anne's Bloody Revenge. The first word of a four word name should be a determiner!
If you have a hard time coming up with names I would suggest looking at images of animals and weapons to help you name your ship and using that as a base and then adding words around it to see if it suits or adds a motive to your name.
