So I started on the pc this morning chose my pirate but was never given the opportunity to choose a name. I was given some random name like costabay followed by some numbers. How do I change it? I need detailed instructions. Thanks.
Change name?

Pretty sure that your name in game is whatever your name is for Xbox Live. I understand that you're playing on PC, but you are still technically playing on Xbox Live. Google how to change your Xbox Live gamertag.

Change your gamertag through a web browser
Here’s how:Go to the Change gamertag page at account.xbox.com.
Sign in using the Microsoft account email address and password associated with your gamertag.
Enter your new gamertag, and then select Check Availability.
Once you find an available gamertag, click Claim it.
Note If your gamertag was created for you when you initially signed up for Xbox (meaning you did not choose it yourself), you can change it one time for free. Additional Xbox gamertag changes cost extra.
If you created your own gamertag at signup and want to change it, you will be charged (fee varies by region and currency).Change your gamertag in the Xbox app on Windows 10

I have the same problem, the game gave me some random name as gametag. I logged into xbox live and changed my name there. My new gametag shows up on xbox live and on this forum, but not ingame. The game still shows the old random one. Have i missed something?
Try waiting 24 Hours, There may be a slight delay. It happens sometimes in games. ;)
The fact that Microsoft makes you pay to change your gamer tag is insane. You really need $9.99 to have your servers implement a database change? I have no issue with my gamer tag but it would have been nice to be able to pick a name for my pirate. Such a simple thing would make a world of difference. So many great "piratey" names will go unused.
