Poll: Help me decide on a new series' name!

I've posted a poll on the right side of my sidebar. I figured, after thinking it over for a long time, Scarred Souls needed a new series name. 

As I mentioned in a post before, Scarred Souls is the name of the story in which Josh and Damian met, and it really only fit them. 

All the other characters in the series has some troubles or scars of their own, which they have to deal with, but I do not like Scarred Souls as a series title. Thus a poll.  

Troubled Minds were the series' name for quite a long time. I renamed it Intertwined Fates at some time when I wasn't happy with Troubled Minds. Friends, Lovers, Soulmates is the new title I've come up with. I quite like it too. But not sure if it's a good series title. So thus the poll! Please select the titles you like, and you can choose multiple choices. 

If you have any other suggestions, please comment here.

  1. I voted none of the above, because none of the names seem to stick out or would stick in my mind. If I'd choose a title, it'd have to stand out as something uncommon and eye catching.

    1. I know, they won't stick in my mind either, that's why I'm having such a difficult time. >__> It should really be uncommon and eye catching, but it just won't come to me *frustrated*

      Thanks for your vote ^__^

    2. Maybe something like... ehm... 'Josh & Damien: A story of scarred souls.'? Names tend to stick out in a title and alliteration makes a title easy to remember.

    3. Nah, that doesn't work either, because there'll be several other characters with their own stories too. So the name got to be something that covers all of them, not just Josh and Damian. >_> That's why I'm struggling. ^_^

  2. Then maybe something like... "I'll survive my shadow" or depending on the time frame of your story "I survived my shadow"? Your characters seem to have some problems that (in present and/or past) keep looming over them. I'm not sure how willing they are to move beyond their troubles, but that could explain the survival part of the title.

    I'm just making suggestions though, if they suck, then please ignore me, hahahaha! XD

    1. Your suggestions are good, but they're not quite sticking to me. I like shorters titles, they feel a little long. :P I'm sorry, but they are really good. ^__^

    2. Maybe shortening them would work. I'll do a little brainstorm here: Survival, Surviving Shadows, Survived ...

      I really hate finding the right titles, they never want to come to me. ^__~

    3. I get that when thinking up names, I can never think of any nice sounding names that go well with characters, so I usually consult websites of baby names when I get that problem. XD

      But maybe you should brainstorm on interesting words that go well with your characters, and then try to combine them into a title? I wouldn't go for word combinations that one often comes across in romance titles (like 'lovers', 'soulmates', 'fate', etc.) though if I were you, because they're words that are kind of expected in the genre. You'd want a combination of words that still accurately describes your story, yet isn't something one would expect at first. A delightful surprise that people will treasure as a good memory, so to speak.

      The problem ism of course, that such a combination is difficult to think up... >_> Well, in any case, I wish you the best of luck with the title for your story. I'm sure you'll think of something great! ^__^

    4. Yeah, baby name sites are good when you're stuck ^_^

      Hmm, yeah, that's a good idea! I'm gonna have to do that; I'll set it off for the weekend, when I don't have to work. ^^;; Yeah, it is difficult, but oh well. I'll hope for the best :P

      Thank you! ^__^

    5. I came up with a title. That's to say, I already have come up with it, but it was for a series I'm no longer writing. What do you feel about 'Their Circumstances'? It's so many characters in this series, and they all find themselves in various circumstances throughout their stories.

      It's not a usual series' name, I don't think. ^_^

    6. Sounds great!! :D It also has a bit of a mysterious ring to it at first glance, because you don't know WHAT circumstances it will be (unless there are spoilers on your blog/website?). Yeah, I like this one!
