Some Awful Title Ideas

Earlier this week I twittered about needing a title (working or otherwise) for the sequel to FORGIVE MY FINS. (Which I'm writing right now, btw.) I really like to have a title while I'm writing. Even if it's a title I'll eventually have to squabble with my editor about later. (*cough* GODDESS BOOT CAMP *cough*) But on this one I'm completely tapped out. It's FINS2 as far I my files go.

I need your help. After reading the jacket copy for FORGIVE MY FINS you should have a general idea of the series. I want suggestions, peoples. First, I'll share my list of possible titles (some decent, some horrid).
  • Fintastic
  • 'Scuse My Scales (thanks Kate!)
  • Fish Out of Water
  • Fins Out of Water
  • Sea You Later
  • Oceanista (love, but it doesn't fit the book)
  • Wish Upon a Fin
  • Once Upon a Fin
  • Make Mine a Mermaid
  • Snail on my Tail (uh, thanks Kirsty)
  • Fin Big Trouble
  • The Trouble With Fins
Then, if you have any suggestions, leave them in comments. If someone comes up with a gem that ends up being the final title of the book, I'll send you an ARC of FORGIVE MY FINS as soon as I get them.

Now, get brainstorming.

Hugs,
TLC
