the title of my comic is based on something that'll be important to the story later on, also I think it sounds cool and is easy to say
"Leftovers" is the word my MC uses to describe the beginner's jazz combo in her college, to mock the people who didn't have the talent to get into a decent group. When she's put in their by accident, though, she starts having actual fears of becoming a "leftover" in the music industry as she kind of ... obsessively tries to become well known :^)
My title does, in fact, sum up the story. XD The story starts when she goes to Tokyo for the summer and will end when she returns. But what happens in between... read and find out! 
I'm still working on having enough material to start actually publishing (I've attempted webcomics before that have invariably died after 10 strips, and that was before I was also holding down a full-time job!) but I've settled for now on the name "The Bee Graders" for my current project. Why?
- It's about university students, who are graded by letter
- It's set in Manchester, a city whose mascot animal is the worker bee (for hard work and industry)
- The main characters are all kind of a bit weird and don't exactly fit in. Some might say they're not the best examples of their kinds, or B-grade stock.
I originally was going to call it "Escape from the student dungeon!" as a reference to my own experiences of living in university halls of residence, and I was quite attached to it because it sounded like a pulp movie (like Escape from the Planet of the Robot Monsters, or Plan 9 From Outer Space or something), but decided against it because a) it's too long, b) it's based on an in-joke nobody but me and my university buddies would have gotten and c) I don't see the characters living in university accommodation for the entire run because it's quite common for students to move to private accommodation after a year or two in halls when they're feeling a bit better equipped to deal with the stresses of the real world (and when they've finally had enough of the halls!)
I might still use that name for a chapter or something though!
I'm not even going to link to my stories.
I suck at giving my stories titles.
It's often the last thing I do and changes multiple times until I'm happy.
On the rare occasion a title might come to me while writing and that's like a eureka moment 
(The Betrayal and Remember Me.)
And twice I've had others title my stories for me after reading them. (Time For Destiny and Cat Got Your Tongue)
When I first save my stories to file it will be - The Death story (Choices), The Cruise (Diary of a Cruise Ship Hostess), Doctor Love (Twenty Day Stalker), Magic Something (Divine Intervention).
Our comic was titled "Slick Tentacles" because the hair style of the two main woman characters of the series looks like a "Slick Tentacles".
I struggled with the title of my comic for a long time. At first I wanted something space related and short. I thought two words was the max, so people could remember it easily. Problem was I also wanted something unique and if searched online it would be the first result to pop up. I made a really long list of names and none of them sounded right or they were already taken.
Then I decided that why not have a longer name. Some classics have long titles and it never made them any less memorable. After that decision things got easier. However most of the titles were still a bit too generic, so I gave up on a scifi name and decided to go for a thematic one instead. That's how I got to the name Home is a Distant Wish. It's not obvious from the start how it fits into the story but it is the theme that binds many of the characters and story elements together. Is it the best title in the world? Absolutely not. Am I happy with it? Yes, yes I am.
I love names that have something to do with the story, if it's the theme or motif that repeats, a pun or even a word said only once but have a great meaning.
WDE is an acronym for World Domination Enterprise. the story is about a kid trying world domination.
Deadhunter is named after the profession of the main character an afterlife retrieval specialist
I don't have anything outside of pre-production, but I wanna jump on this!
Ok, I literally said "Dude, imagine if Momma's Boy was a manga, or an anime. Something about it sounds cool. I could see like fights in a school or something." in a conversation. I just wanna turn this into reality. Since then, I've been building my webcomic around solely based that name and the idea that it sounded like a battle shonen. "Momma's boy" is a bully's nickname for the MC. It's also a part of his character, he does love his mom, after all. So yeah, the title was the only thing I had to begin with!
The other one I'm working on is Star Pilot Kira. See, the story's about the journey of a young girl who wants to become a Star Pilot. The title's about her goal really, it's simple and to the point. For now, the ending I wanna get to is simple, but if I wanted to continue on past that in a second season or some sequel or whatever... well, the title would still make sense. There's a lot I feel I could do with it.
The title of novel and actually most of the story is inspired by a chorus from this one song I really like. Freely translated the chorus goes like this:
"When you're walking alone in the night, you might meet one of your kind. And for a moment that path is light to go together. Not the distance nor the years, nothing will separate us. When for a moment I can have you, and forget."
I like winging the titles of my stories most of the time, so a lot of them are pretty straightforward or based off of songs or entries in a dictionary. But with my current project, I actually put some thought into it.
It's called Peggy Sue and the Pretzel of Time and as the title implies, it really is about this person called Peggy Sue and of course, a pretzel who can bend time and space. I chose the name Peggy Sue because of the trope and because I thought it rolled nicely with the word pretzel.
I'm working on a story and it has had many names so far. I ended up dividing it in 4 main plots with different names each, but the main thing is still in a weird spot. Naming stories is difficult, I like to both have something with a deeper meaning behind it and a nice eye catching thing that will bring people into it!
My title for The Prince and I just came to me one day some years ago and I liked it so much that it hadn't changed. There's this feeling that you get when you know that the title is the right one for your book lol.
I would like to keep the readers guessing on who exactly the title is referring to and it's not a straightforward answer as it seems.
Well to be honest, I've named this series Maximum Chaos; because the characters all have bouncing personalities from one to another and the world these characters live in! ^_^
I have a chapter dedicated to explaining just one country of the world and its the opposite yet parody of our world for the time being.
For Road to Lamark, Lamark is the name of the ultimate destination the three main characters are journeying to. The destination is named after a city in Greek Mythology where heroes could go to rest and recover, which is significant to the story.
I would say A LOT goes into title. I read before that there is a trend in the publishing industry for book titles that go something with "The Girl [Insert Something]" The Girl on the Train. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and so on.
Or there are titles with the just the name of the character, if that is unique enough. Like Harry Potter. Or something more abstract like 50 Shades (lol).
I went with the character name for my story and contest entry.
I'm still not 100% sure if I'll keep the title but I decided to go with Flames and Flowers because one of the protags can control plants and is often represented by flowers while the other one uses a lot of fire magic.
I'm not very good at naming stories. I wrote a comic about 6th graders when I was in middle school. It was called '6th Grade.' :'D
Honestly? My comic's name came from a bad pun late at night in a group chat.
I guess I called it "The Flipside" because the main character's from a town where things are completely "perfect" and orderly, and is a big contrast to the cities outside it. It probably fits the Stepford Suburbia trope, and it will be revealed that her town is not at all as it appears to be. It used to be called "Distorted Reality" but I feared that was too edgy. 
I like Flames and Flowers. It has alliteration going on two sides (the fronts and backs of the words). I also chose a title with alliteration, Soulless Saint.
I knew that I wanted to work the word Soulless into the title for a couple of reasons. It describes the robotic name of my main character, but it's also a thing inside of the Breachworld RPG, a flaw which a character can have reflecting a lack of genuine emotions. I was browsing factions in the game, trying to decide who the robot would be pestering. The Holy stood out as the most unusual choice, and I have long thought that religious cults were a good literary tool for representing or presenting all sorts of corruption. I'm not actually down on religion as a whole; I am religious myself, but cults are an easy target for ridicule and-or parody.
The titles behind my Alien Fiction series is a whole other (and more interesting) ball of wax that I will address some other time.
