    Also, you probably don’t want anyone to think it’s the prequel to “The Memory Keeper’s Daughter.”

    Exactly. It immediately makes me think of some serious book about an immigrant family in the 1940’s or something. Not what I’m going for!

    Not that I’ve read “The Memory Keeper’s Daughter”, so that shouldn’t be taken as my summary of the plot. 🙂

    I kind of like ‘Dust-Stained Wind’ or ‘A Memory of Dust-Stained Wind’, but they’re not particularly…active. And they’re a little generic, I think, but that could just be me.

    Hmm… Dust-Stained Run? Running Before a Dust-Stained Wind? (Though that runs (sorry) the risk of people thinking it’s about sailing…)

    I don’t know if it will help you at all, but sometimes I find the rather dryly-named Word Combination Tool useful for figuring out names for characters — maybe it will help? It does only have two columns, so if you want more than two-word titles, you’ll have to put them in as phrases. One of the nice things about it is that the output is in alphabetical order, though.

    Argh, I have to retract my last statement — it’s not in alphabetical order, but the order in which you enter the terms. That’s what I get for trying to get anything done while dealing with small children…

    Oh, that’s a really cool little tool. I’ll have to try it out.
