Do the titles of your webcomics/novels have meanings?

[UrMom]

Yes, but at the same time I was looking for a title that just felt right.

'The Guide to a Healthy Relationship' has two meanings behind it:

1. The title is supposed to be mostly ironic since the relationships presented through the majority of the story are very unhealthy.
2. It's supposed to mean the characters are working to find healthy relationships with themselves and others, being guided if you will.

Oooo I've done this before, but I'll do it again. My novel I see called Vehementia, which is vaguely Latin for vehement so like passionate, great emotions, that sort of thing. The whole novel is centred around emotions and emotional breakdowns causing people to turn into symbolic monsters.

My novel is called A Betrayal Of Faith and it comes from the main characters journey when he discovers that his religion and his Gods are teaching things that he doesn't agree with. Also because he is one of his religion's deities, which he never expected to be

Splitting Image is based on a common mispelling of the idiom, spitting image (of someone). The story plays a lot with people repeating others' actions, being similar even though they want to be different, or the image people create in public compared to who they truly are. There's also a lot of mirror motifs in the comic, so a mirror being shattered, is, well, a splitting image.

Yes. My comic is about ancient things melting icebergs bring to the shores where the last humans live, this is why the title is "Gifts of wandering ice".

Too Far from the Tree has themes about inherited destiny versus chosen path.

[Pizza_Agent]

Sisu is extraordinary determination in the face of extreme adversity, and courage that is presented typically in situations where success is unlikely
I chose that name because many difficult situations happened to me and I google something that would mean something similar

Mine is called In Any Other World as it plays on the idea of alternate universes. So there's a main story (adventure, pirates, merchants, runaway noble) and there's one shot stories in between featuring the same characters but in different worlds living different lives

My titles are pretty straight forward in all honesty.

Dual Soul is about two souls that slowly become one so that's where that title comes from.

And Blade Quest is a story where the lead goes on an adventure with a magical sword so that's that title.

My webcomic's main title, "Everdream: Stars Hold no Boundaries" is meant to say about how this is a "dream world", and how it has infinite possibilities. Every Episode is named after a David Bowie song which reflects the story of the episode, be in its names or lyrics.
Moonage Daydream: Cozmata daydreams about a more exciting life full of adventures.
Lady Stardust: A character named Lady Stardust meets Cozmata and the crew.
Life on Mars?: Someone from the offworld goes to Juuna. "Life on Mars" is about discovering life in the unknown. The Company was supposed to be dead, so it is the unknown.
Changes: Cozmata's life is changing.
John, I'm Only Dancing: Nimbus gets needlessly overprotective over Cozmata, playing the role of "John" in the story.
Always Crashing the Same Car: Cozmata realizes her mistake and wants to apologize to Henry for her actions.

My webcomic is titled "The Hidden Monachopsis." This wasn't my original title for the comic though.
I started my webcomic 2 years ago under the title of "What Lurks in the Forest." That title is pretty much clear; it's basically that there are weird creatures in the forest.
After I went on a long hiatus, I had watched a video talking about branding. It was more about music, but it had some really good advice in there about getting your content known better. From what I learned there was that my title was 1) Way too long (as I had already known) but I needed to shorten it 2) It already kind of spoils what the premise will be later on (which isn't too bad, but I wanted it to be a bit more inconspicuous) and 3) My title was not unique enough. When you look the title up, my page would pop up but so would other people's pages on things unrelated to my comic.
With that, I decided to rename my comic and actually put thought into it.
This may seem weird, but the easiest word I found that I wanted in my title was monachopsis. It's an uncommon word that is the persistent feeling of being out of place. This feeling relates very well to one of my characters and others as well without giving away the premise and also hides the biggest spoiler in the entire comic. The thing was that monachopsis is a noun, so I wanted an adjective to go before it, and finding an adjective for that word was absolutely difficult. Eventually I thought of The Silent Monachopsis. It was the best thing I thought of at that time. Fast forward a couple months, and I was about to post about my comic coming up by posting the cover. I typed out The Silent Monachopsis onto it, but then I finally thought of The Hidden Monachopsis. Not only did it fit the story more, but it also just felt right. As a result, I now have a comic title that is unique, fits to the story, and one that I truly love.
Sorry for the rambling! Anyways, the first page premiered yesterday, so check it out if you want to!

My current novel, The Melodies of Secrets meaning is simple. The characters are musicians who end up finding some clearly messed up stuff due the group that they are communicating with. They discover horrible and surprising secrets along their personal story arcs.

Nice meaning of your title.

My comic is called Mukhtar, which is the MC's name and it also translates to "Chosen" in Arabic, however just because this is the name I given him doesn't mean he is part of some prophecy of a typical chosen wonder. He has no destiny nor a prophecy but he was picked by a mystic being which is fortunate, because the MC will forge his own goal of uniting different kingdoms into one nation, building his own destiny. Of course there are many danger and he can't do it alone and would need a lot of support to make his dream of unification come true.

My comic “Frog> Prince” I think is pretty self explanatory.... I saw a bunch of fables where the frog gets kissed and turns into a human prince and went “but frogs are totally better than hot boys” and that’s the comic pretty much LOL I am a simple creature

My comic “A Hollow” has a lot of meaning In its title but explaining them it is technically spoilers

A what a cute little thread!

Our comic, Wayfinders: Off Course
is called that becuase, Wayfinders is the name on the most important prop in the comic. A grand compas called the Wayfinder

Also, our cast is finding their way in an ocean that is non-navigatable so they litterally are, Way-finders. but also they are super off course from their main goal!
and it is fun becuase off course, is both, off track but also, of course! it is Wayfinders of course it is! we really liked that fun little name

Here is the compass in question!

I chose a latin title too !

Psychomantium is the mirror of the dead. It's a parapsychic experiment or ritual with a mirror and a candle in a dark setting, that is said to allow you to see beyond the veil of reality and see the soul of the dead in the mirror / or know of your death. On the more psychologic side, it would allow you to make contact with your subconscient part and see your inner-self.

At first, the title doesn't really seem to fit with the story, but if you know the meaning, it gives you clues to read some events in a particular way.

It took me a while to decided on a title for my comic. It had gone under a couple of titles before I settled on the final one, because when I was in the planing phase focuses changes. To initially settle on the title, I had conversed with a few close friends for ideas as we tossed words around that I would build off of. Someone said Eidolon, and I had never heard that word before, so I looked it up. The reason why I settled on "Eidolon" was because of the word's definition.

ei·do·lon
/īˈdōlən/

1. an idealized person or thing.
2. a specter or phantom.

I chose this because of both definitions relate to the plot and character development. I wanted to emphasis the idea that not everything is what it seems, and how one's past can haunt them (similar to that of a ghost) The sub text was added to the title for a few reasons. 1) Eidolon by itself was taken on tapas already, and I wanted it to stand out. So, I chose to add a sub title. Guild of thorns, more directly ref. the plot as the group of characters begin to build a community. I chose thorns because the community I want my characters to build is one for those who feel outcast-ed, hopeless, and hurting. Its is to make a safe space for these characters (in which I hope to connect to my readers) and work towards solutions to build one's self back up. As the thorns themselves rep. someone's wounds. Physical and mentally.

"Jack Beloved" is a play on words based on this rhyme

The title has the same cadence. But it also doesn't refer to a proper noun, rather a devil-like species called jacks. So its kinda playful, but suggesting a romance.

Well for My comic TLC, the letters TLC is actually a well known acronym: Tender Love and Care

I chose it because the story is all about relationships friends, family, romantic ,and otherwise, and how important they are

If that interests you why not check out the comic!

Psetha means the god/goddess of souls and is both a name and a title that the story revolves around, which is why I chose it for the title of the story.
