How will you decide on a title for your novel?

What will influence your final choice. I am on my fourth title. Titles tend to be named after the main character, or a setting that is crucial to the plot and storyline. Many traditional and contemporary authors have changed their original choice.

Why did Jane Austen name her novel Mansfield Park instead of after the heroine Fanny Price? It is because of the way of life presented that it represents.
