sometimes people give things a name, and sometimes it's a really great name. this can be a band, album, song, book, series, movie, website, planet, or person name. or basically anything else. but it has to be something that exists.
i just heard about how John Darnielle from the Mountain Goats wrote a novel, and it's called WOLF IN WHITE VAN. that is such a great name. the book itself sounds terrible though imo

I think Bandit was the best name. Why'd you have to change?

Young Marble Giants called a song N.I.T.A, standing for "nature intended the abstract" and Derek Landy called his short-story collection Armageddon Outta Here.

Staff Sgt. Max Fightmaster, coolest name in the world.
Belenggu, which is a book by Armijn Pane. The title means 'shackles' in Indonesian and makes you think it was some kind of metal song when it's just a book about a doctor having an affair with his old school buddy. The author's name sound pretty awesome, too.
Edit: There's a girl in my school named Felicia Sword, and a boy named Leonidas Elroy.

I once casually knew someone named Antares Boom, but I had no way of checking, so it's possible he might've been kidding about his last name. First name was def his, though. It's Greek. Sometimes people called him Spaceship Antares.

I went to a local bookstore a few weeks ago called The Writer's block. Made even more fantastic by the fact that they'll let you sit in their back room, with these sliding panels so you can make your own little office, and write.

So Long, And Thanks for All the Fish
******************************************************************************************************************* I loved the original Hitchhikers Guide :) Also, (you've probably seen it, but...) I came across this: I also really like the Pseudonymous Bosch book titles, like "If you're Reading This, It's Too Late".

Oh yeah, and "Steal This Book" is also a classic, clever book title. (It spawned a lot of off-shoots, f.ex. System of a Down's "Steal this Album")
