Default Weekly poll: Do you title your photographs?

I was about to post a question just in general, but I changed my mind and decided to make it a weekly poll instead So, the question is: Do you title your photographs? And of course, my real question that's behind that is how do you decide what to title them?

I've toyed around with several ways of giving my photographs titles for Flickr. I prefer to give them titles even if they are uninspired. But, recently I've been playing with some smoke photographs and calling them "Smoke [1]", while accurate, doesn't quite cut it. Of course, with event photos, they are often titled with the event (especially when I can't think of something), but lately I've been trying to get more creative with titles (the smoke series is an exception). But I find myself struggling to come up with titles more often than not. Especially with the more abstract photos.

Of course, titles are also important for the Critique my Shot threads because it's often the title that makes you read the thread. So how do you come up with your titles, or are you one of those people who just labels it "Critique Please"

So, the question is: Do you title your photographs? And how do you title them? And if you have any suggestions for how I (and others) can come up with better titles, can you share them?
