How important are story titles?

Answer 1

The official titles of the Romanov family are as follows (Sainthood not included):

His Imperial Highness, Tsar Nicholas Alexandrovich Romanov II of Russia, Grand Duke of Finland, and titular King of Poland

Her Imperial Highness, the Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna Romanova of Hesse and by Rhine

Her Imperial Highness, the Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna Romanova of Russia

Her Imperial Highness, the Grand Duchess Tatiana Nikolaevna Romanova of Russia

Her Imperial Highness, the Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna Romanova of Russia

Her Imperial Highness, the Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova of Russia

His Imperial Highness, Tsarevich Alexei Nikolaevich Romanov of Russia, Heir Apparent to the Russian Empire

These are their full extended titles, with Nicholas and Alexei, it's just as proper to cut it off at the "of Russia" part. I included the Imperial Highness because it is a proper title for Russian royalty.

Answer 2

So-so. A story title gives you an idea what the story is about, but published stories and books go through many versions of their title before one is finally chosen. Sometimes your publisher will even use a title that they like, even if you don't like it.

Final answer: don't sweat the title. Pick out something you like and plan to change it later if you think of a better one.

Answer 3

It's not as important as you think. Titles give you a way to talk about the story, instead of saying "You know, that story with the three ghosts and the old miser" (A Christmas Carol is the name of that one).

Titles also tell you a little about what you're going to be reading in the story, and may make you want to read further.

However, you don't need to stop and think of the perfect title before you write your story -- the title comes out of the story, so finish the story first.

Answer 4

Story titles are important because they are often the first thing readers see, influencing their decision to read the story. A good title can capture the essence of the story, create intrigue, and help the work stand out. It serves as a marketing tool to attract readers and convey the theme or mood of the story.

Answer 5

Titles are important because they give you the main idea of the topic written.
