What should I name my upcoming Webtoon?

[painttheworld]

Hello! I've been struggling to come up with a unique title for a Webtoon in progress. It has the themes of seven deadly sins and is a supernatural rom-com with hints of thriller/mystery and action. The mood of the story is a little depressing with some part of light comedy and emotional romance. Seven demon princes are stuck on Earth, banished from hell, and forced to suppress their seven deadly sins by Heaven's authority as punishment for the crimes they've committed in the past on earth. In the meantime, they're asked to contribute to the well being of mortals. Until one day a mortal who can see demons is kidnapped by them since they're so intrigued by her ability and think that they can possibly find the key to returning back to hell by using her. But then, stuff obviously gets complicated (hehe).

It generally keeps you on the edge of your seat with the mystery buried in the plot. IMO the title carries a large part of how well the Webtoon is received and I would love to take opinions on which title sounds best.

Even better, if you have a very interesting, quirky, and cool name, please reply and help me come up with a title!

Some titles I've come up with are:

1. Seven & Sin
2. Sinful Behavior
3. 7Sins
4. ABRAXAS
5. S.A.L.I.G.I.A
6. Hell's Bound
7. Bound By Sin

• Seven & Sin
• 7Sins
• Sinful Behavior
• ABRAXAS
• SALIGIA
• Hell's Bound
• Bound by Sin

I was gonna say I like 7Sins the most, but apparently, there's a video game of the same name lol I don't know if that would be an issue for you or not.

I like Seven & Sin, I don't know it just sort of sound appealing when I say it out loud and feels like it would stick in heads. (also I love the Kaguya Sama Profile picture!)

I like Seven & Sin - it sounded the most intriguing, easy to remember (and search), without sounding like it's trying too hard.

hmmmm
I don't know what 4 and 5 means , it sounds interesting but It might be to long for number 5 I mean

4 be sounding intriguing never heard of that before

Here is some names I am able to come up with
* The/A Punishment of hells sinners
because they have been banished and represent of the 7 sins but maybe not....

• A turn to a new change

I like it too but I didn't even know it was a popular video game I just saw a webtoon named 7sins and didn't want to have a repeat of it

Im gonna go against the grain so far and say ABRAXAS only cause I know what that is and love a good subtle nod.

[painttheworld]

hehe the subtleness was what sparked that title suggestion too

Honestly, from reading your description I'm not quite sure what the focus of your story you'd most want to fit your title would be.

I personally like 7Sins as a good well-rounded title if you're willing to risk the confusion with the video game.

On the other hand, S.A.L.I.G.I.A. would be good if you want to play up the thriller/action aspects, but would be a bad fit if it's more romcom heavy than fast-paced.

a supernatural rom-com with hints of thriller/mystery and action. The mood of the story is a little depressing with some part of light comedy

Not sure from reading this part if you're shooting for a fun romcom or a more serious, dramatic tone. Sinful Behavior and Bound by Sin both feel like more risqué titles than you're likely going for, but I guess could work for a darker, dramatic romance. Hell's Bound would be good for a heavy romance, and Seven & Sin could go a couple ways depending on how the thumbnail looks.

Basically it depends a lot on what your primary focus and audience you'd like to grab for the story is.

wow thanks a lot, this helped break it down!! Honestly it's hard to think of it myself too because the story is sort of stuffed with several genre that do well to balance up on each other. The romance is def a big part of it but at the same time there's a lot of mystery and thriller to the plot and lots of conflicts that the MCs are face with and have to over come, which some times sparks a few actions scenes. So that's why it was so hard to find a title that really sums up the story but I'll take in consideration how you broke it down and see what description you said for each title is really what i'm going for. Thanks again!

I liked Hell's Bound the most since it wasn't as on the nose and it's pretty memorable. The acronyms are cool, but they would be harder to spell and remember for people searching for it (has a bit of a kingdom hearts feel to it, as well which isn't really the vibe of your story. Like I think Abraxas might legitimately be a heartless in that video game.). As for referencing the 7 sins, I feel like that's not really the selling point of your story, but just a plot point. Like it doesn't get me as interested since it's in a bunch of stories. My close second choice would be Sinful Behavior, but that does sound like a racy romance novel. Which might be exactly what you're looking for, actually, I dunno. It's up to you, whatever you decide since you know your story better than I.
