oooh...toughie. I'll have to think about that.

Hmmm....

The Five
Earthmen
Us (a very non-creative but slightly interesting name only a group of misfit boys would come up with... well and me...)
Photosynthesizers

Sorry I can't be more help, I'd have to read it before I came up with something striking and amazing

Hmm.... I'm gonna just throw some out.

...."The pack"

...."The pact"

...."You look to us?"

...."Seen but not heard"

I always get that. Luckily I began my most recent novel with a title so didn't get to the end without one. I did have this problem with my last novel though; I reached the end and had no title at all.

If I were you, I wouldn't rely on other people to give you suggestions. Only you know what would fit your novel and every plot turn etc that might be relevent.

Try this; make a spider-diagram (whatever you want to call it, you know, bubble in the middle, arrows going out) and come up with as many short phrases or odd words that sum up your book as you can. This should give you a starting point.

Try thinking carefully about your themes, and about particular phrases you might have used within your novel. Is there a phrase somewhere you didn't look closely at but could sum up completely your novel? Or a phrase that you've used in a more literal sense but could have figurative connotations as well?

For example, in my novel the title 'In a Besieged City' refers to a line from a psalm in the bible, with which my MC prays at the end, however, it can also be percieved as a figurative way of describing the turmoil of his life.

It's certainly one of the most difficult things to do if you do reach the end and don't have a title. Just relax; take your time, and hopefully you'll get a sudden burst of inspiration and find the perfect title!
