In most situations, I usually pick the title which seems to suit more to what I'm in the mood for. For ex: Comicality's new semi-novel Dreamlover. A title like that you just have to check out. It leaps at you! The curiosity gets you instantly.
I tend to keep away from anything that starts with "The" mainly because there are so many novels and stories that start with the, you get them on a list in alphabetical order and thats all you see is pages of "The" they don't really stand out.
I'm not sure if it's much the same with other people, up until recently I've only really had my own opinion to worry about. But I find Titles with abstract phrases tend to tickle my fancy. Irregularity I guess you would call it.
Titles such as, Marbles to Rifles,
Obderate Avidities(this ones actually the name a novel I've been
working on forever)
Exhale
External Combustion
Favours(how many ways can that go? hehe)
Well I guess you see it odd names get me in easy, I'd name a few more but my minds not allowing me to be very creative, it's quartre to four in the moring, and the brain just doesnt work quite so right. Hopefully that helped a bit, uh just wanted to get the ball rollin on this one. Theres been many views, and I'm the second post. C'mon people, come in and post!
