yes. the first line in the story is Call me Ishmael. so his name is Ishmael
* This answer is wrong. Ishmael is the narrator. Ahab isn't the narrator. His first name isn't mentioned.
In Herman Melville's novel "Moby-Dick," Captain Ahab is only referred to by his last name. Ahab's first name is not mentioned in the book.
The name of Captain Ahab's first mate was Starbuck. Which is where Starbucks got their name for their coffee.
Captain Ahab is the character who hunted Moby Dick in the novel "Moby Dick" by Herman Melville.

Ahab tried to kill a white whale by the name of Moby Dick.
Captain Ahab shared a cabin with Starbuck, who was the first mate on the ship. Starbuck was a steadfast and moral character who often clashed with Ahab's obsessive pursuit of the white whale, Moby Dick.
Ahab
Captain Ahab broke his pipe in anger when he first saw Moby Dick, the white whale. He then threw the broken pieces into the sea.
Ahab was a powerful king in biblical times, and Ahab was a captain in fiction.
There was no "plot" to assassinate Ahab. However, Starbuck, Ahab's first mate, does contemplate killing Captain Ahab with a gun he finds on his way to speak to the Captain. He wrestles with the decision for a moment reasoning that killing Ahab may save the lives of his crew. However, he ends up making the morally sound decision (as is his nature) and does not kill Ahab.
The skipper in Moby Dick is named Captain Ahab. He is the obsessed and vengeful captain of the whaling ship Pequod who relentlessly pursues the white whale, Moby Dick, throughout the novel.
