Mad Mary Flint Every pirate is a little bit crazy. You, though, are more than just a little bit. Like the rock flint, you’re hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you’re easily chipped, and sparky. Arr! ---

Mad Tom Rackham. Every pirate is a little bit crazy. You, though, are more than just a little bit. You’re musical, and you’ve got a certain style if not flair. You’ll do just fine. That’s a damn cool name…Rackham? I don’t even know him! ---

I’m Calico Morgan Bonney… " Often indecisive, you can’t even choose a favorite color. You’re apt to follow wherever the wind blows you, just like Calico Jack Rackham, your namesake. You can be a little bit unpredictable, but a pirate’s life is far from full of certainties, so that fits in pretty well. Arr!" ---

Dirty Bess Rackham “You’re the pirate everyone else wants to throw in the ocean – not to get rid of you, you understand; just to get rid of the smell. You have the good fortune of having a good name, since Rackham (pronounced RACKem, not rack-ham) is one of the coolest sounding surnames for a pirate. Arr!” Well, I never. Monthly showers aren’t enough for these people? Hmmph. 😉 [sub] actually, i DID say in the quiz that i bathed daily, which makes me wonder…[/sub] ---

Just call me **Dirty Jenny Flint**! “You’re the pirate everyone else wants to throw in the ocean – not to get rid of you, you understand; just to get rid of the smell. Like the rock flint, you’re hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you’re easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!” I like it. It’s me (except for the smelly part – I’m quite clean. No, really!) 😃 ---

Captain Mary Rackham Even though there’s no legal rank on a pirate ship, everyone recognizes you’re the one in charge. You have the good fortune of having a good name, since Rackham (pronounced RACKem, not rack-ham) is one of the coolest sounding surnames for a pirate. ---

Yay! **Mad Dog Flint** Part crazy, part mangy, all rabid, you’re the pirate all the others fear might just snap soon. Like the rock flint, you’re hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you’re easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!
