* RhymingTitle: **, context could be explicitly saying what phonemes rhyme or what type of rhyme the title employs, especially if the rhyme is only present in the original work or a dub.



* NamedAfterFirstInstallment: ***
* NonAppearingTitle: context is just listing the work, it needs further discussion due to there being relevant context in some cases (e.g., the title does not appear but a synonym does); it only has meaning in regards to songs




to:

* OddlyNamedSequel2ElectricBoogaloo: **, indicative of the sequel having a DenserAndWackier tone but it's wildly misused

* ProtagonistAndFriends: **, indicates that the work revolves around the protagonist's interactions with secondary characters
* ProtagonistTitle: *, indicative that the protagonist is the most important element (so, there's probs ProtagonistCenteredMorality in play; other characters and the plot are connected by the protagonist) and is very easy to market
* RecycledWithAGimmick: **, indicates a change of setting (aka the gimmick)
* RevengeOfTheSequel: **, it indicates the sequel's plot is reactionary in regards to the previous installment's events
* RoleCalled: **, puts emphasis on the character's occupation while giving away the protagonist's name (needs discussion as to whether is the same but more specific to both JobTitle and CharacterTitle)
* ScaryAnimalTitle: *, indicates a "man vs. nature" type of conflict, which sets up the tone and, roughly, the premise
* SecondaryCharacterTitle: *, indicates that the secondary protagonist has been given a DayInTheLimelight (if it's an episode) or is some sort of adaptational protagonist; it could also mean that we are seeing the story from their POV but the protagonist is still the one calling the shots

* AnnualTitle: **
* CharacterNameAndTheNounPhrase: **
* ColonCancer: **
* EitherOrTitle: **

* TheJoyOfX: just listing all of the snowcloned titles after the original one is enough
* MagicAmpersand: I can understand TheNounAndTheNoun being a common format for RPG tabletop games, but slapping ampersand on it doesn't seem exclusive to them. So, it looks like Administrivia/PeopleSitOnChairs
* MononymousBiopicTitle: context is whether the title is using the work's subject's first name, surname, or alias

* TeamTitle: *, albeit it can be added what kind of team the title alludes to -- a FiveManBand, a FourTemperamentEnsemble, etc.
