What's in a name?
I need help.
There is this particular pirate family in my novel that has a tendency to name their children in rather unconventional ways. Examples:
Mercy
Cannon
Reaper (Although this is a nickname.)
Pallas
Brutus
Lilith
Basically, there is a running joke amongst the characters saddled with some of these names regarding being stuck with them. But I need more! I need more names that sound, you know, like a family of violent pirates wanted the very names of their children to have meaning! They obviously draw from a whole variety of myth and legend, and also pull words like "cannon" into the mix. Please comment with any suggestions you have!
