My 7 year old nephew and I were talking about disney cartoons the other day. We got to talking about pirates of the caribbean when all of a sudden he asked me "Uncle Steven, what was Captain Hook's name before he had a hook for a hand?" I had no answer and I still don't!

 

[Pixiedust1393]

Aww that's cute.. You could tell him "Captain Hand" :hammer:

btw, welcome to the boards! :wave:

:lol: That's precious. I hate when they stump you like that... it's the old Deer in Headlights

 

[bsandersjr]

Well........
That is a darn good question.
Anyone know the answer?
Or is there? :veryconfu

Have you read Peter and the Starcatchers? (I think I spelled that right) it actually had a different name for Captain Hook- I just can't remember it at the moment- I will try and find it for you

So cute though!!

Edited to say this: Black Stache, a fearsome pirate who commands a villainous crew- That was Dave Barry's name for Captain Hook before he got a hook- Sorry couldn't help myself :lol:

 

[rainfully]

I think it's just a coincidence... :lookaroun

 

[CoffeeJedi]

according to J. M. Barrie, by way of the great and powerfull wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Hook

"Hook was not his true name. To reveal who he really was would even at this date set the country in a blaze."

come on now, if you have a question, you either a) google it, or b) wiki it

i will admit to these two services taking the mystery out of life somewhat.........

Black Stache

thats his name in the book

As for the story itself... its original creation did not have any meaningful background information on any of its characters, especially Captain Hook, he was simply created for the purpose of villian and his name given for the irony that he had a hook for a hand... I think the actual attempt was for it to be a coincidence... like, his was born and raised as say... Phil Hook, or... David Hook... and its all ironic that he ended up having a hook for a hand... (obviously not very convincing, but... again there's no background information, so i think the original creator just was happy settling on that)

Just my thoughts on it, but Black Stache is his name in that book

 

[goonsquads57]

Why....before he was Captain Hook, wasn't he Ensign Hook?

Very corny...and i liked it!!

 

[PurpleDragon]

I thought his name was Captain Stumpy.

Or maybe Captain Nub.:brick:

Or how about Captain NoHand. :hammer:



:lookaroun Ok sorry, I'm done now.

 

[goonsquads57]

He started out as "Captain Knitting Needle", but found that name to be a little less than intimidating.

 

[BrerPete]

I heard it was Captain Eisner.

 

[Magic Maker]

Isn't he named James, Captain James Hook?

 

[artdude323]

But what was his name in the digital version? I used to have the reference, but I can't put my finger on it.:hurl:

Sorry, don't keelhaul me for that.

Anyway, since Disney has bought the rights to Peter and the Starcatchers as the story they'll use as the prequel to Peter Pan, I'd go with Black Stache.

ha ha. Good one, would've never thought of that.
