Okay, I'll try
Good male name for space captain:
John
James
Earl
Kirk
Burt
Hugh
Mortimer (as you said sounds very noble)
Jason (rather younger and cool type of guy)
You could also try something Latin like Horatio,Cassius, Maximus etc.

Whatever name you choose, add 'Sir' to it, it will give an elegant, classy and adventurous touch.
