About cannon names
Gun crews have named their pieces for centuries. A great gun had moods, a voice and a place on the wall or the deck, and the people who served it gave it a name the way sailors name a ship. This list holds 1,000 cannon names for pirate ships, castle batteries, fantasy siege lines and tabletop armies, along with small signal and saluting guns.
The names follow the habits of real crews. Many are women's names or fond insults: Sweet Lips, Black Bess, Loud Lucy, Old Growler. Others carry a saint or a prayer, led by Saint Barbara, the patron saint of gunners, in Saint Barbara's Voice. There are noise and fire words such as Brimstone and Thunderclap, wall-breakers such as Kingbreaker and Gate Knocker, sets for a whole gun deck such as The Twelve Apostles, dwarven bombards, airship guns, Latin mottoes of the kind cast on barrels, and comic names for a small saluting gun, like Little Sneeze.
A small share of the list is historical. Names with a label in parentheses, such as Mons Meg (historic bombard), belong to real guns, and words such as Culverin, Saker, Falconet and Carronade are real types of cannon. The rest are names in the same tradition, ready for a gun of your own.
How to choose cannon names
- Match the name to the gun's job. Stern Warning or The Bow Chaser suits a ship's chase gun, Seawall Sentinel or Keeper of the Strait a harbor battery, and The Noon Gun or Little Sneeze a signal piece.
- Name a battery as a set. The Twelve Apostles, The Four Winds or the trio Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego give every gun its own name while the crew still reads as one unit.
- Let the name say who built the gun. Grudge Settler and Mountain's Voice sound dwarven before you describe the barrel, and Brass Sermon or The Aetheric Persuader belongs on an airship.
- Say it as an order. A good name survives being shouted across a deck, so a short one like Old Thunder works in play, while a long Latin motto such as Ultima Ratio Regum reads better engraved on the barrel.
- For a confetti cannon, a parade float or a school model, pick from the comic names: Hiccup, Ahem, Popgun Pete and The Polite Cough keep things friendly.
Frequently asked questions
What are some cool cannon names?
Short, hard names sound strongest: Kingbreaker, Brimstone, Wallbane, Thunderclap and Keepcracker. For something grander, try The Last Argument, Dies Irae or Gjallarhorn, and for an old campaigner of a gun, Old Thunder or Grumbling Tom.
Why are so many cannons named after women?
Crews have long given big guns women's names and nicknames, often teasing ones. Mons Meg and Roaring Meg are real examples, and Dulle Griet translates roughly as Mad Meg. The list follows the habit with names such as Black Bess, Loud Lucy, Sweet Clementine and Mad Margaret.
What is a good name for a pirate ship's cannon?
Deck guns suit salty, threatening humor: Davy's Knock, Kraken's Belch, Stern Warning and Shot Across the Bow. If the ship carries a row of guns, name them as a set, such as The Twelve Apostles, and save a favorite like Quarterdeck Queen for the gun nearest the helm.
Are the historical names in the list real?
The names with a label in parentheses are names of real guns: Mons Meg (historic bombard) stands at Edinburgh Castle, Dulle Griet (historic bombard) in Ghent and the Tsar Cannon (historic bombard) in the Moscow Kremlin. The list also holds real words for types of cannon, such as Culverin, Demi-Culverin, Saker and Carronade. The other names are written in the style of the tradition and are not presented as history.
