I have a tough time going from "Working Title" to the final version, usually with a few stops in between. For my series novels, I try to develop a theme that relates the titles to each other; for example in one trilogy I used a variation of the last word in the previous title as the first word in the next (i.e., Paths of the Chosen, Choice of the Fallen, Fall of Creation). In my current series I'm using traits (Heart of a Hero, Soul of a Coward, Will of a Warrior) that summarize the journey of the main protagonist.
