I have working titles and official titles (and it's not fun when I have to go track down the files for archiving -- trust me on this). My working titles end up being along the lines of "that BSG thing" or "that CSI thing," because I rarely come up with a title before the story is finished.
For the official title, I'll usually go for something thematic and simple, with bonus points if it's relevant to two or more things happening in the story or if it ends up being a pun. Breathe was about Kowalski coping with his nightmares after MotB and *also* about his increasing panic over the content of those dreams. Dawn of the Dead was about Dawn Summers (Buffy) going to work in the lab at CSI. Lost was about Fraser being physically *and* mentally lost.

Does this help?
