Any space videogame whose main character has Mortimer as first name would only be a true hit.

That's not a heroic space captain! That's the baddy!

Dasha Blitzen glowers down at the masses from her citadel, takes a sip of erzatzkaffee and looks in the mirror. The schlager scar over her right eye reminds her of battles won and battles yet to come.

Geeky as a first name, possibly as a surname:

Rosco Mortimer, tough, uncompromising space commando with a good head on his broad shoulders.

Captain Lionel Void.

How about Second-World-War RAF nicknames?

Algy
Ginger
Dinghy
Gilly
Hoppy
Jumbo
Lofty
Spud
Strafer
Stuffy
Titch
Tubby
Willie

The first two are from the Biggles books, the rest are real.

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.

Captain Alec Squarejaw

This thread reminds me of the "butch" space "hero" in the complete carp that is Space Mutiny.

The Mystery Science Theater guys went to town on nicknames for him.

This is the song written for the train chase,
This is the chase, Rocky and Ken.
He tried to kill me with a forklift. Olé!

Every badass from past and future wants an eagle on their flag even though it seems impossible to emulate such bloody smart basterds

Do it asian-style and call your pilot 3rd Lt Piu Pew?

Mal Reynolds is a good name for a captain

Space Captain

Ladies & gentlemen, we have hit paydirt.

His nickname could be 'captain'.

Space 'Captain' Captain.

I'm homing in on Roscoe Mortimus. Though I like Morpheus's idea of 'Mal'.

(Not Roscoe Norton, as my auto-correct tried to make it)

I was watching the translation of revenge of the sith from english-chinese-english
general grevious was named Space General, so that's how I was able to come up
with the genius idea!

Now I'm curious... you do know who Mal Reynolds and Zapp Brannigan are, I hope?
