I don't know, I kind of think that Barbossa should just be left as Barbossa...

PotR told me awhile back(don't ask witch page, I don't know) that a "Fannon"(that means commonly accepted but not Cannon) first name for Capitan Barbossa was "Hector", that's there the "Hector Barbossa" came from in some storis or graphics you see online(where did you say it started? like, Jonny said it or somthing?) anyway, they haven't used it in any on the movies yet, but on the offical website on Barbie's wanted poster it reads "Hector Barbossa, Wanted Dead or Alive"! so mabey it will be Cannon now!

The name got out, it spread amongst the fans, and the fans liked it. It's never officially appeared in any of the films, so it's not 100% canon, but we've been given no other name, and the writers have never said it wasn't his name, so "Hector" has just sort of worked its way into the PotC fandom as Barbossa's (un)official first name. It's the name you'll see in any fanfiction (if the author did his/her research) and probably any marketing products that bother to include a first name, but unless it appears in a film, it'll never be officially canon. There's what Potr said. There you go.
And if Hector Barbossa really becomes Canon, I will laugh, because I said that it should be from the beginning.

Well I think it should be officially considered his actual name if so many people believe it is really Hector. Why not just make it that if lots of fans call him Hector?
Besides, it sounds cool.

You're welcome Potr.
What Potr said (I said) (which Potr said)
Anyway, Hector Barbossa has a rather nice ring to it.
