How do you figure them out? It's not something that comes naturally to me. Like, most of my stories, if I have to explain them to others, are referred to by "that thing with (____)" or "character x's story". I generally don't use them inside of my head - I know which is which, after all.
All of this means that I have a whole bunch of major ideas, only one of which has a title. (And that one was from three drafts ago and doesn't reflect the current story at all.)
So. Titles. Do they matter? What makes a good one? How do you pick them?

Strange isn't necessarily bad, I think.
