So how do you come up with an interesting title that grabs a reader and grips their throat? It's somewhat difficult for me to do this. I use Word Synonym Check to make it a bit more interesting and complex.
When do you title your story? Before or after it's complete? Where do you get your inspiration? How do you find a title that fits your story's message?
I'm interested in hearing other's perspective on this.

For stories, I take the last phrase.

Your last phrase is an interesting sum-up.  |

Do you not understand English or something?  I'm asking how this is easier or better for you in writing. What makes it so great to use as a method? |

Personally, it depends. I might catch a phrase or word which inspires me and use that both as the title and to write something from it, but more often it comes as I'm writing or have finished the whole thing. A short, catching phrase is enough, it doesn't need to be long and elaborate like they did in the 1500's |

Just use the main theme of the story as the title.
