Rejected name for a pirate ship #20
"The Ghost Raptor"
Notes: Declaring yourself to be a ghost ship before you have even left port is a terrible idea. Sailors are well known for being superstitious and pirates are no exception which will make recruiting crew next to impossible. Consider naming it after an extinct raptor such as "The Laughing Owl".
Side Note: Most birds of prey are named after either their location, a physical feature, or if extinct, the person credited with discovering them. This means that unless you like the sound of "The Madagascar Cuckoo-Hawk" or "The Scissor-Tailed Kite" it is slim pickings and the Laughing Owl was the only real candidate I could find.
