The 'title' attribute value has no semantic meaning. It could be anything you want ("Beginning", "Start", "First", "Read", etc). The reallly important attribute is 'type'. The value 'text' indicates the first page of "real" content on the book (the e-reader will open on this page when first loading the book).

You need to make sure the 'href' attribute is pointing to the first page of bodymatter (after titlepage, copyright, toc, etc).
