In Peter Pan, what was Capt Hooks name before the crocodile ate his hand?
Hard to guess from your phrasing that this was intended as a joke Q. Were it not for the fact that there are genuine answers, I’d say the joke is actually funny. On to my serious answer… James Hook was identified as the pirate “Black Stache,” before his hand was eaten. This was not in the original text by Barrie, but in the sequel by Barry. Barrie was somewhat conflicted on the subject. “Hook was not his true name. To reveal who he really was would even at this date set the country in a blaze;” –Peter Pan, Ch. 14, The Pirate Ship and later, after his hand was eaten: “Bad form,” he cried jeeringly, and went content to the crocodile. Thus perished James Hook” –Peter Pan, Ch.
