For my novel Faint Spark it honestly just came out of the blue.

I've had an idea of writing a story about zombies for lots and lots of years. Originally the story Dead Body Girl was about a teen girl that runs away from home, is hit and killed by a car, and is raised as a zombie by an old Voodoo witch. As payment for being brought back to life the old lady witch makes the girl work as her maid. As the girl becomes closer to the old lady, and the lady becomes more like an adopted grandma, and the girl starts training as a Voodoo witch too. The Title of my story Dead Body Girl was referring to the main character's state. She Is the dead body girl. As I kept thinking about the story, I changed it over and over again, until it's the story I'm working on now, in which the main character is already a necromancer (not a Voodoo witch) and Dead Body Girl refers to her quirk of hanging out with dead bodies.

Though not always the case, I love making titles with multiple meanings.

The Abomination Within Letcham

I named it because, frankly, there are a lot of abominations within Letcham. What exactly could the title be referring to? Could be our leading lady, who is vampiric. Could be the man she finds herself relying on who beats her and treats her like an animal. Could be the church, with all their suspicious actions. Could be [redacted for spoilers]. It's up to the reader, and that is why I named it as such. It covers literally everything.

For my wording in particular, I chose "Abomination" because it felt most horror-y (in the tone I'm going for) than something like "monster", that and "Abomination" felt like it fit the aprox.1800s vibe of the webnovel best.

The Temptation of the Sea and its Monsters

This god awful mouthful of a name is very similar to the above. It can mean a lot of things to different characters within the story. This one I can't dive too deep into without spoilers, though. Most the characters are pirates drawn to the sea for any number of personal reasons, and a lot of characters are seeking merfolk (sea monsters) too for any number of personal reasons. Another vague title I made to let the reader draw their own conclusion.

Though this story is set even before "TAWL" (aprox. 1750) I kept this title lighter because it is simply lighter in tone. TAWL is a grimdark, gothic horror while TTotSaiM (or however you'd shorten it) is a swashbucker with action, fun, light moments, romance, and all that good stuff. A lighter, more webnovel-y title just fit better.

my novel is named after a painting the FL made:

braincell4rent 2025-06-18 14:14:35 UTC #5

In my case, it´s because I´m writing a comedy about a supposed vampire who´s been attacking children (spoiler: he isn´t, really)

Hey, guys, check out my novel series…
For my first series below I thought it sounded cool and befitting of a being once magnificent and celestial dragged down to the Abyss as reckoning for doubting the purpose of his very existence.
New Episodes Out every Saturday @8pm PST

For the next series, essentially, "when fate played the gambler" is a metaphor for a situation where a person's life is heavily influenced by unpredictable forces, with the potential for both great gains and severe losses.
New Episodes Out every Tuesday @8pm PST

And for my latest series below, the international date line functions as a “ line of demarcation ” separating two consecutive calendar dates. When you cross the date line, most commonly via a sailing ship; you become a time traveler of sorts! Cross to the west and it's one day later; cross back and you've “gone back in time."
New Episodes Out every Thursday @8pm PST

Get ready for time jumps, romantic recklessness, and emotional healing with a splash of magic realism. Because what would you do if the universe gave you one more shot at the love you let go?

Wild Nights, Hot and Crazy Days was named after a Judas Priest song with the same name. The story is about growing up as a secretly gay youth in the 1980’s and 1990’s, and WNHCD was pretty much my anthem during those years.

Defining Daecon was originally called Finding Daecon’s Way (which was also inspired by a song: Finding My Way by Rush). When I started book two I did a reboot of the whole story, with it now being told by Daecon himself, and for some reason I changed the name to Defining Daecon.

The story is about Daecon, a 25 year old man who had his whole life upended when, in a life or death situation, an enormous set of wings suddenly sprouted from his back. Guides to safety by a mysterious talking golden eagle named Owen, Daecon makes some discoveries that will forever change who and what he is.

The name Skull Force Agents is a play on the phrase “full force”. You can read it here if you’re looking for an action comedy to read

AngHell dela Blackpill translates to "Angel of the Blackpill" ( Spanish) or "The Hell of the Blackpill" (Tagalog, English, Spanish )

Makes sense either way

Honestly it took a while I wanted something to go along with my story which is a comic gallantwitch but wanted to make it more unique and driven but I think it's ok for now

shriraa.sha 2025-09-02 06:56:41 UTC #11

The title for 'Veiled Deceit' honestly just stemmed because of all the pivotal characters within the series. Each one is hiding a 'do or die' secret behind smiling facades, so I guess you could say the title is right on the nose

Furthermore (on a lighter note), I just showed a synopsis to my close friends and just asked "do you have any title suggestions?" and they suggested this to me under the pretence "your entire novel is just full of emotionally unstable people." and I just went along with it

Hi, hanimegirl.

I've been away, but I am back with a new novel, called Tin Can Wizard. The name comes from the solar observatory he works on. It is stationed between Mercury and Venus. It is lovingly referred to as the Tin Can. I plan to publish one page a day. The first page went up today.

Lane_Kalchik 2025-09-03 18:59:56 UTC #14

I wrote the story first...then figured out the cover page...then figured out the title. It really just came out of the top of my head, but it holds alot of symoblism to what actually happens in the story.

I came up with mine while looking up common naming conventions for cozy fantasy, because I initially planned for the cozy fantasy elements to be front and center.

agielconey 2025-09-17 03:28:13 UTC #16

It was a joke when friend made and I thought it was better than anything I could think of.. Though i regret it later because it sound very intimidating.
I wanna change it but again i can't reck my brain for name. It's a bl

Coming up with my story title was a hassle. It had to be renamed 5 times before I settled with War of Neytives. I wanted a title that would be unique to the plot, while not being too obvious. In the story, this has a double meaning in relation to history and terminology. The misspelling was inspired by my childhood author who wrote, "Magyk".

amedvleec 2025-09-18 06:37:56 UTC #18

Well, I just realized that I wanted to create a story about doll family

atyezone 2025-09-18 07:53:13 UTC #19

I came up with the plot first then choose the name around it.
The story revolves around the name itself even until the very last chapters and i'm personally so proud of everything about it and wish more people get to read it because this is an story where it never gets boring and predictable. I've been working on it since 3 years ago and always editted it and came up with better plot and character wrritings. Now i'm releasing it every week and tried my best to keep it up in the best quality so the readers get excited each chapter. The story is like if you got a japenese solo leveling but with a bigger plot and more world building. And still it's a lotttt different than solo leveling or any other level up genre. I hope you guys give it a read. There's only 13 chapters out yet and i'm currently working on the comic version as well. The poster is my own work of art so i guess it's going to go well in the comic version
