I need help with names?

A title is very important to a story. For me, before I begin any book, i think of what I want my story to be- the moral of it. A good book needs a purpose. Then I think of a title that sums up what the moral is. For example: I am currently writing a book called "The song makers". it's a fantasy story about birds and witches and this other world. The title makes sense because 1) birds are "song makers" and 2) the moral of my story is that everyone in the world has a song they make, a happiness inside of themselves, and no one can take that away from you. And so, like the birds, we are all "song makers". Think of the moral or purpose of you story, and then look for a word or phrase that sums it up. Even looking up a phrase in another language can add flavor to your story.
