About moonshiner names

A moonshiner in a story usually has two names: the plain one in the family Bible and the one the hollow uses. This list gives both, for Appalachian and Prohibition-era stories, games and roleplay. Plain mountain names such as Garland Stiltner, Arminta Maddox and Jesse Clay Hackworth sit beside working names such as Copper Pot Clyde Hensley, Thump Keg Tolliver, Still-Hand Silas and Slow Drip Maddox.

The working names come from the parts of a still and the words of the trade: the worm (the copper coil), the cap, the thump keg, singlings, backings. An older word for the distiller is blockader. The craft in the southern mountains goes back to Scots-Irish settlers of the 1700s, so the list has a share of forebears such as Hugh McClanahan of Antrim and Widow Kirkpatrick.

The rest are the people around the still: night haulers like Midnight Mae Sizemore, kin like Granny Lottie Pruitt and Pappy Enoch Tolliver, lookouts like Wash Line Winnie, old-timers known by one name such as Old Copperhead, and family crews such as The Pruitt Boys. A small share are city bootleggers of the 1920s, such as Bathtub Benny Krol. More than one name in five is a woman's. Every name is drafted for a fictional character, and the page has nothing to say about making liquor.

How to choose moonshiner names

  • Pair a plain name with a working name. Silas Tackett is who the census taker meets, and Still-Hand Silas is who the hollow knows. Use the plain form in narration and the nickname in dialogue.
  • Give each job its own kind of name. The stiller can be Kettle Smoke Kermit, the hauler Switchback Sherm Lovins, the lookout Cowbell Callie and the elder everyone answers to Granny Arminta Whitaker.
  • Match the name to the decade. Hugh McClanahan of Antrim suits a forebear of the 1700s and Needle Beer Ned Flaherty a city cellar in the 1920s. Jesse Clay Hackworth suits a mountain still around 1900, when sons were often named for presidents and statesmen, as with Zachary Taylor Messer.
  • For a family crew, pick the surname first and build outward: The Sizemore Brothers, then Harlan Sizemore, Mattie Sizemore and Midnight Mae Sizemore as the family around them.
  • Keep the nickname respectful. Names built from tools, places, weather and night work read as people with a trade. Names that mock mountain speech or schooling turn a character into a cartoon.

Frequently asked questions

What are good moonshiner names?

Craft nicknames are the quickest to read as a moonshiner: Copper Pot Clyde Hensley, Still-Hand Silas, Thump Keg Tolliver and Sour Mash Grady Akers. For a quieter character use a plain mountain name such as Wiley Bledsoe or Dovie Ratliff. Kin titles like Granny Lottie Pruitt and Uncle Dock Ratliff suit the head of a family operation.

Are real moonshiners or bootleggers in the list?

Not on purpose. The list is drafted as names for fictional characters, and the famous names of the trade, of racing and of television were avoided when it was drafted. It has not been checked against any record of real people, and ordinary names can match someone somewhere, so search a name yourself before you publish it.

Does the list include women moonshiners?

Yes, more than one name in five. There are plain names like Arminta Maddox and Zora Tolliver, working names like Stillhouse Sal Hoskins and Copper Kettle Cora Collett, haulers like Midnight Mae Sizemore and elders like Granny Dovie Hackworth.

What is the difference between a moonshiner name and a bootlegger name?

In stories the moonshiner makes the liquor and the bootlegger or runner moves and sells it. Most of this list is mountain distillers and their haulers, such as Ridge Runner Rufe Combs. A small share is city bootleggers of the 1920s, such as Bathtub Benny Krol and Hip Flask Hattie Doyle.
