I’m back here in titles, guys, and I wanted your honest thoughts on an idea I got in the middle of the night and which just might work.
Sign of the ShieldIt sounds snappy enough. It’s somewhat cryptic, but not completely baffling. It has a fantasy feel. It would go with the story and the full meaning of the title would be revealed at the end. My sister doesn’t know if it sound original enough though. But if I try something like ‘Sign of the Prince’s Shield’ or ‘Sign of the Nameless Shield’ it’s going to start getting too cluttered. Actually, ‘Sign of the Nameless Shield’ is kind of cool.
So what do you think? Which one is your favorite, or do none of them sound good (don’t be afraid to tell me)
Sign of the Shield
Sign of the Nameless Shield
Crowned Powerless (because I still like that title even though I don’t think it will work)INTJ - Inhumane. No-feelings. Terrible. Judgment and doom on everyone.
July 24, 2016 at 4:37 pm #15000Hey @hope ! 🙂 “Sign of the Shield” is alright. (It could be better than alright, but since I haven’t read your story it’s a little hard to say how well it goes, but it sounds nice:) What about “Emblazoned”? I just thought of it. Not saying it’s better than “Sign of the Shield,” but it was an idea, so I thought I’d mention it.
“Crowned Powerless” is really cool …
July 24, 2016 at 7:43 pm #15007@hope Sign of the Shield sounds great.
*I still like Crowned Powerless, but I understand that some titles, no matter how awesome, just don’t work*July 25, 2016 at 12:38 am #15017I’m okay with Sign of the Shield. I looked up and the only similar title is some kind of history of the Greeks.
August 8, 2016 at 1:01 pm #15453@Hope I’m late to the party but better late than never, right? I like the tile “Sign of the Shield,” but I like “Sign of the Nameless Shield” better. I also really like “Crowned Powerless…” 😉
August 8, 2016 at 6:35 pm #15466@Greta Thanks. I’m currently naming the book Fidelyon…an idea I got a few days ago. 😉

August 9, 2016 at 2:05 am #15499Fidelyon is more original than the others. I like it.
August 9, 2016 at 12:53 pm #15508@Hope I like the sound of Fidelyon. 😉
August 9, 2016 at 6:33 pm #15521Fidelyon doesn’t have the same amount of inherent meaning. That’s not necessarily a problem, but I think real words are much more popular these days.
The meaning I can get though is faith in God and I like that. -
