Yeah. I, for one, am TERRIBLE at coming up with title names, so you don't wanna ask me.

It takes me hours to come up for names of things, and when I do come up with names they aren't necessarily that good. Although Coobreedan was an awesome achievement.   ;D

The only one that I MIGHT change is Mattimeo. I'm thinking simply "Slagar"

Mariel Of Redwall, I'd abbreviate to Mariel. One word titles are BJ's thing.

I definitely would probably rename 'Pearls of Lutra' into 'Grath Longfletch'

Really? I think Pearls Of Lutra is pretty good.

I actually thought Pearls of Lutra was the most original name Brian came up with was named after a place or person. As for Grath,I didn't consider her the main character. It would be like Brian naming Outcast. Veil wasn't even the main character.

DanielofRedwall

What I don't understand is why The Pearls of Lutra is called just that, when in the books the characters call the pearls the "Tears of all Oceans". However, I agree that The Pearls of Lutra is the most inventive of the titles, and probably one of them most inviting.
Received mostly negative reviews.

Lutra

^ Well, the pearls are from the otter clans, so why not Pearls of Lutra?

I like one word titles, so I'd say Lutra.

I like it soooo much better when he doesn't do name titles. However, Mattimeo, Mariel of redwall(Though I didnt agree with that; after all, she's not from Redwall and only is there for a little)  and Martin the Warrior and a few others are the exceptions. Because, really, there is almost never, except in the veeery early books, or a few others, one main character. See how much worse these sound.
Eulalia-Orkwil Prink, or, Gorath
High Rhulain- Tiria
Redwall- Matthias
Outcast- Bryony, or, Sunflash
Mossflower- cant even think of a good one

Bryony wasn't the main character either in Outcast. Although, I agree, Outcast of Redwall is an inaccurate name. Maybe it could have been named Sixclaw?

I HATE IT when they make the blurbs of Outcast of Redwall all about Veil. He isn't even in half the book! >:( >:( >:(

Outcast of Redwall is okay to me. I know Veil wasn't the main character, and neither was Bryony. But it doesn't bother me.  :-\

I agree Muse. Using main character names as the titles all the time would seem a bit weird in some cases.
