titles and such

sg_fignewton made a post earlier about summaries, asking what people like and don't like in fic summaries. Which reminded me that I'm not really crazy about any of the summaries I've done for my fics.

This, in combination with the vid that I'm almost ready to post, in turn reminded me that I don't think much of most of the titles that I've come up with for either my fics or vids. I can count on one hand the number of titles that I still like. This seems a little odd in a way because at work we often get into title discussions when new books are launched and for the most part my contributions to those discussions have been well received. When it comes to titling my own work, things seem to go downhill. I'm almost ready to consider the merits of adopting some sort of number system--like the SGC uses for identifying planets--for my titles.

How important are titles to you? Do you like coming up with titles? Do you avoid or try out a fic based on your reaction to a title?
