I always suck at titles.

I will make this skin as soon as I name it. Suggestions?



I have some ideas as to what I'd like the title to evoke, but I'm not finding anything appropriate. Maybe I'm being too locked into this name-skins-after-songs thing, after I was finally converted.

For those who recognize the image: yes, I just spent several hours editing out the godawful red background. Doesn't the color scheme look so much more Geass-y now? C/Lulu OTP SQUEE.

If the name-skins-after-songs thing just doesn't work for you (at least with this one), maybe you should look into song lyrics? Or quotes? Or even bible passages? Or simply expressions in other languages? I just usually name them after songs because of the way skin-making works for me: Generally the skins are influenced by the music I listen to (Techno/Trance = techy skin; Greek/Turkish music = glittery skins with glass-filter overload; Metal/Rock = dark skin that can go both ways; JPop = blindness-inducing skins in bright colours) and often get their titles from the songs but it doesn't have to be this way ^^;;

What should the title convey? Should it be more dark or more mysterious? Or both? Because I think I have a few suggestions... *eyes metal- and world-music-folders*

BTW, I love the new background for C.C. and Lulu. I hated the red one! :D
