Titles don't have to be really long, though. Some of the best titles are one or two words.

It, Alien, Aliens, Predator, The Terminator, Kindergarten Cop

Priscilla could've easily been a reboot of Queen of the Desert. But then I don't care enough about Elvis or any of the children he fucked to know any better.

Why would Eileen need to command cultural familiarity?

Priscilla is an excellent title. Eileen was my great aunt.

I haven't seen it, but I'm guessing it's about a woman named Eileen (possibly Anders' great aunt)

Could be a WW2 drama. My great uncle was part of the Norwegian resistance, and Eileen was a young girl then, that he met in London. Her mother died in the Nazi bombing of London. Eileen herself died last year, 101 years old.

It would be nice if the title gave a bit more information. Like, what was the character's profession? (eg. Cop), and where was this character practising said profession and at what grade level? (eg. Kindergarten)
