I like simple titles (long ones, especially with recognizable song lyrics, especially if that song is from a much later era than the setting of the story, distract me). But I think most of mine are too simple, just stand-ins because there has to be something there. Sometimes they have an obvious meaning and also a secondary one, but I don't try for that. The ones I like tend to refer to something about the story that isn't mentioned in the story. But I guess a clear summary makes a good title too (Like "The American Way".)

Um... I don't know how I pick them, except that if one didn't turn up while I was writing, it usually means I haven't stopped to figure out what the story's about.
