That's a good point, Ruth. I was chatting about this to my husband yesterday and he commented that a title with double meaning could backfire if you're relying on the readers knowing what you're alluding to (e.g. if you're twisting a phrase they haven't heard of). It's a fine balance to find something that will work for most readers. I'll say a bit more about that in next week's post when I look at caveats when choosing titles. Thanks for your comment.
