authors, writers, journalists, movie lovers.

the photos, but that's just me. They're not going to be much help if you're looking for catchy titles and names.

change some of the sterile names in the novel I'm writing to names with more reader appeal. And maybe the title of my novel itself needs to be more emphatic. For example, this book lists no fewer than 40 titles beginning with "My". Movie titles are deliberately designed to attract attention and induce people to part with their money. Here's "My Darling Clementine". My lead character is a girl called Rose Mallory. My present title is "Live for Tomorrow". Yet among the thousands and thousands of titles in this book, there are none at all starting with the word, "Live". It's obviously a word with no sales appeal. A far superior title would obviously be "My Darling Rose".

has no doubt done a superb job for movie lovers; but for writers, he's provided an invaluable handbook.
