New Name for our Pirate Game

Hi. It's come to my attention by a few people that our game's name (Open Ports of the Caribbean) might not be so good. It's still early enough in development that if we are to change it, it's now or never. Our game is a free pirate-themed print & play. The main characteristic is that it's an open world sandbox where you can trade in any city, attack ships and cities, go anywhere, and do a bunch of other stuff - hence the name's double meaning "Open Ports" (open cannon ports / open cities / open world). I thought it was a really smart name, but many feel it's not "exciting" and it reminds people of IT jargon (open serial ports). So anyway, below are my replacements. A small note: in the game, players are members of the Brethren of the Coast, a real group of pirates that existed in the 1700s. Feel free to reply with your favorite or even make your own suggestions:

    1. Pirates of the Red Coast
    2. Black Banner Bandits
    3. Black Banner Buccaneers
    4. Black Banner Brethren
    5. Buccaneer Heroes

    The first alternative sounds the best.  Definitely change it.

    Ok. Ya, it appears to be a fan favorite everywhere I post this..

    I agree with Sundler.
