The first step in the creative process is an idea. That part is obvious. Coming up with what to call that idea can be troublesome. And if you don't have a name for it, then talking about it is a chore. This is why a lot of works go through a number of names between production and release. The end result may be that you hear actors talk in an interview about a movie they're doing, and then find it came out under a different name altogether. Working titles can also be used defensively, allowing the creators to refer to their project without giving much away. It can help camouflage a ground-breaking project against someone else copying the idea, or sneak an anticipated sequel under the media radar until it is ready for the world to hear about it. Also can be used to get lower production costs for big sequels as locations or prop companies overcharge on big name features. In many other cases, the working title is the originally intended title that was changed because of last-minute Executive Meddling. Not to be confused with the British production company affiliated with Universal. See also Market-Based Title (which is what some of the Working Titles are if they contain curse words or are otherwise considered obscene innuendo), Censored Title (same) and Permanent Placeholder (when the Working Title sticks). |

Dream Theater formed under the name Majesty, but had to change their name because another band were already using that name. A track on their debut album When Dream and Day Unite was titled "The Ytse Jam" in reference to this. They went through several other names, including Magus and M1, and even spent a week under the name Glasser, before finally settling on the name Dream Theater. | |

Metallica's Demo Magnetic shows the Death Magnetic songs, aside from "The Unforgiven III" ("UN3") and "My Apocalypse" ("Ten", because it is the tenth song), had amusing ones: "Hi Guy" ("That Was Just Your Life"), "Neinteen" ("The End of the Line"), "Black Squirrel" ("Broken, Beat & Scarred"), "Casper" ("The Day That Never Comes"), "Flamingo" ("All Nightmare Long"), "German Soup" ("Cyanide"), "Gymbag" ("The Judas Kiss"), and "K2LU" ("Suicide & Redemption" - like "The Call of Ktulu", an instrumental). "Until It Sleeps" from Load had the working title of "Fobd", because the song reminded the band of Soundgarden's "Fell On Black Days" - an early demo, recorded before the band had worked out real lyrics, was released as a B-Side under that title. Kill 'Em All was originally called Metal Up Your Ass. It was changed as the label thought it would impede the band's commercial success, though the original artwork was later re-used for a T-shirt. |

The Great Mouse Detective was titled Basil of Baker Street, after the novel it adapted, before the name was changed late in production. Much of the crew was unhappy with the change, leading to a Writer Revolt in which they published a fake memo saying that all of Disney's animated features would be retitled. The rumored reason for the change? Paramount's Young Sherlock Holmes hadn't been a big hit the previous Christmas, and thus Disney wanted to play down their film being a Funny Animal / Mouse World version of a Holmes adventure. | |

Before an official title was decided on, Crash Bandicoot was jokingly referred to as The Sonic's Ass Game in development, as it was a mascot platformer where the character moved away from the screen, making their backside visible. The "serious" title was "Willie the Wombat" — though they had never planned on using that for the final game, the player character model is still internally labeled "willie". The final name came from the way that the eponymous character would "crash" his way through the crates and other objects found in the levels. Crash: Mind Over Mutant was going to be called Crash: Invasion of the Bandicoot Snatchers, but it changed due to problems translating while keeping the joke. |

Battalion Wars, a Nintendo GameCube installment of Nintendo's Advance Wars series, was initially titled Advance Wars: Under Fire, keeping the Advance Wars moniker the series was introduced to internationally. Amusingly, the Japanese version was titled Totsugeki!! Famicom Wars, which used the original Famicom Wars moniker. | |

Little Tail Bronx: Tail Concerto went by the name Little Tail during the prototype stages. It can be presumed that this is where the franchise name came from. Solatorobo: Red the Hunter was originally announced as Solarobo (note the lack of the "to") and was presented at France's Japan Expo as Project Coda. The latter title ended up a plot point in the game. Its prequel, Fuga: Melodies of Steel, went under a very generic codename of Tank, judging from the PC executable. |

Jetpack Joyride was originally known as Machine Gun Jetpack, named so after the default jetpack. Lead designer Luke Muscat claims that the name change was the very last tweak they did before the release and the reason for that was the game presenting itself on the app list as "Machine Gun...", which made it more ominous than intended and not very indicative as to what the game is about. Machine Fun Jetpack was a known alternate Halfbrick Studios almost went with, but was quickly rejected in favor of the current name. | |

Tom and Jerry: Switchin' Kitten, the first of Gene Deitch's shorts, was originally titled Dog My Cats. The suits at MGM came up with the final title, which Deitch detested because he felt it wasn't relevant to the "Freaky Friday" Flip plot. Tall in the Trap was originally titled Top Trap. Puss 'n' Boats had several working titles, including Down to the Cheese in Ships, Blow the Cat Down, Salt Water Tabby and Bell Bottom Mouser. |

Underworld's Beaucoup Fish could have been titled Tonight Matthew I'm Going To Be Underworld - the group ultimately decided that the title, referencing a catchphrase from British talent competition tv show Stars In Their Eyes, would be incomprehensible to international audiences.

The Simpsons: "You Kent Always Say What You Want" was originally titled "The Kent State Massacre", but was changed after the Virginia Tech shootings. "Homer's Phobia" was originally titled "Lisa Goes to Camp", but was changed because the pun was thought to be too oblique and the story (which would have been about Lisa getting into collecting kitsch items and Bart doing the same, only for Homer to worry about Bart's sexuality) was rewritten to include the kitschy antique store owner played by John Waters and having him be the one who allegedly influences Bart. "Thirty Minutes Over Tokyo" was originally titled "Fat Man and Little Boy", which was later used for an unrelated episode in Season 16. "Much Apu About Nothing" was originally titled "Anti-Immigration Song". "Specs in the City" was originally titled "I Only Have My Eyes for You".note This is due to the product featured in the episode, the Oogle Goggles, originally being called MyEyes. "Daddicus Finch" was originally titled "Lisa Has a Crush on Homer". "Lisa the Boy Scout" was originally titled "Love Hacktually". |

Where Are the Children?: The original title Mary Higgins Clark came up with was Die a Little Death, taken from a memoir of one of King Louis XIV's mistresses, specifically the part where she describes her grief over the death of her baby ("And I with my baby died a little death"). Higgins Clark later changed it to Where Are the Children? at the request of her editor, as she felt Die a Little Death was too suggestive of a "hard-edged crime story", whereas Where are the Children? was agreed to be more compelling and tonally-fitting. | |

Godzilla: The Series was referred to as Heat Seekers to hide the fact it was a tie-in with Godzilla (1998). Early concept art and storyboards of Godzilla for the cartoon were referred to as "Gorgon" or "Thingy"/"Thingie", and drawn as a vaguely Spinosaurus-like creature to further disguise the true premise (and the fact even many of the show's producers were not allowed to see Godzilla's redesign until the movie came out in theatres). | |

Looney Tunes: "Porky's Badtime Story" was originally titled "It Happened All Night", but was changed because it was considered too suggestive (when really it was a reference to the screwball comedy It Happened One Night). "Get Rich Quick Porky" was originally titled "The Oily Bird Gets Porky". "Jungle Jitters" was originally titled "The Fulla Bluff Salesman". "Falling Hare" was originally titled "Bugs Bunny and the Gremlin". The reason for the above change was that Walt Disney was planning a movie about gremlins and asked other studios to hold off any gremlin related projects. Warner Bros. already had two gremlin cartoons well into production, so they simply changed the titles. The second short, "Russian Rhapsody", was originally "Gremlins from the Kremlin". "Scent-imental Over You" was originally titled "Forever Ambushed". "Daffy Duck Slept Here" was originally titled "Room and Bored". "Homeless Hare" was originally titled "Blueprint Bunny".

Faith No More's "Ricochet" had the working title of "Nirvana", and sometimes appeared on their setlists under that name even after it was released under another title. This inspired its share of Wild Mass Guessing among fans at the time — it doesn't help that the song includes the lines "And I'd rather be shot in my face/than hear what you're going to say". However the band maintain that the working title was chosen because it happened to be written on the day of Kurt Cobain's death (and thus slightly before he was actually reported dead), not because the lyrics actually had anything to do with him. An instrumental jam that eventually became the verse section of "Zombie Eaters" was informally known to the band as "Surprise! You're Dead". While the finished song ended up being called something else, Mike Patton liked the title "Surprise! You're Dead" enough that he used it for a totally different song on the same album. |

Kirby: Kirby's Dream Land was originally proposed as Popopo of the Spring Breeze, and then renamed Twinkle Popo. The latter name is a somewhat famous trivia point, as it was used late enough in development that box art and advertising material was produced using that name. They eventually delayed the release to decide on a more internationally-appealing name, and landed on Kirby of the Stars in Japan and Kirby's Dream Land internationally. Kirby's Adventure was originally announced in Nintendo Power as Kirby's Adventure: Nightmare in Dreamland. The subtitle would be reworked for the game's remake, Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land. Kirby Super Star was known as Kirby: Active during development. Shigesato Itoi came up with the final Japanese name, Kirby Super Deluxe. The working title for Kirby Super Star Ultra was Kirby Super Deluxe Plus, which was tweaked to Kirby Ultra Super Deluxe. The filenames are still labeled "sdx_plus". Kirby Air Ride started out as a Nintendo 64 game called Kirby Ball 64 — indicating it as a sequel to Kirby's Dream Course, which is Kirby Ball in Japan — and later Kirby's Air Ride before ending on the final name. The Japanese name is Kirby's Airride, which is pretty close. Kirby's Return to Dream Land was announced as Kirby Wii, which is a more literal translation of the Japanese name. An earlier considered name was Kirby: Super Friends. The working titles for Kirby Fighters Deluxe and Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe were respectively "Royal Rampage! Pink Fighting Championship" and "Sorry, No Kirby! Dedede's Drum Dash". The original working title for Kirby: Planet Robobot was "Kirby: HAGANE" (hagane means "steel" in Japanese). That was felt to be too edgy, so it was changed to "Robot Planet," which seemed too simplistic. It was tweaked to "Roborobo Planet", and then "Robobo Planet", the final Japanese name. The English version then tweaked that further to "Planet Robobot". Kirby Star Allies was announced as Kirby for Nintendo Switch. |

The Princess and the Frog was The Frog Princess, after the specific version of ''The Frog Prince'' that inspired it. After that movie didn't do as well as Disney hoped, the studio retitled the next two fairy tale-inspired films on their docket in turn to avoid the Girl-Show Ghetto: Rapunzel became Tangled (though Rapunzel remained the Market-Based Title in some countries), and The Snow Queen became Frozen (again, some countries got the original title in some way). |

Harry Potter: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is a rather interesting case. The working title was Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which, as you may recognize, is now the title of the sixth book. Originally, the second book would have contained the Chamber of Secrets plotline and the Half-Blood Prince plotline side-by-side. Ultimately, J. K. Rowling decided to keep the Chamber of Secrets plotline and move the Half-Blood Prince plotline to a later book, hence the sixth's re-use of various plot points from the second, such as a mysterious old schoolbook. After the fourth book's working title, Harry Potter and the Doomspell Tournament, was leaked, Rowling changed it to Harry Potter and the Triwizard Tournament. Finally she settled on Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows had two other possible titles, switching "Deathly Hallows" out with the Elder Wand or the Peverell Quest. Rowling admits that she rejected the latter pretty quickly, though, since "Quest" sounded corny. |

In his Doctor Who Magazine column for March 2011, Steven Moffat announced what some of the upcoming episodes wouldn't be called: The first episode of the new season wouldn't be "Year of the Moon" ("I really like that title, but absolutely nobody else does in the whole wide world"), the second wouldn't be "Look Behind You!", and the mid-season finale either wouldn't be "His Darkest Hour" or it wouldn't be "A Good Man Goes to War". Neil Gaiman's episode, meanwhile, had a story so secret Moffat couldn't even tell us what it wasn't called. ("Bigger on the Inside", and before that "The House of Nothing"). | |

Chris Cornell's solo debut Euphoria Morning was originally going to be titled Euphoria Mourning, but he decided that the fact that "mourning" and "morning" are homonyms would cause confusion about the title when it was said aloud on the radio. He later regretted this decision (citing friends telling him the album title sounded like an air freshener scent) and went back to the working title 16 years after the fact: A 2015 reissue restored the original intended spelling to the artwork. | |

Beck's "Broken Train" was originally going to be called "Out of Kontrol" before a last-minute title change — basically shifting the Title Drop from the pre-chorus to the chorus itself. The reason for this was to avoid having Similarly Named Works — The Chemical Brothers' "Out of Control" was released as a single a month earlier. Some promo copies of Midnite Vultures still had the song listed as "Out of Kontrol". | |

Diamonds In The Desert had more than two names. It was originally planned as a slapstick heist fic in the tradition of the Aces Go Places series and thus named Mouse Mission. After watching Mission: Impossible which was still before writing a single word, the author reconsidered, changed the genre and started writing it under the working title All The Glitter. Since this title still wasn't fitting enough, the story was eventually renamed again to Diamonds In The Desert. | |

Ultra Q was going to be called Unbalance. But with the popularity of the word "Ultra" in Japan at the time, it was changed, with the "Q" added to stand for "Question" or "Quest" to fit the mystery themes of the show. The title of Unbalance was later recycled by TsuPro for a horror series. | |

Annie Warbucks, the sequel to Annie, was originally Annie 2: Miss Hannigan's Revenge. The title change was partly because Miss Hannigan was written out of the show, but also necessitating changing the lyrics to one of the songs: "Above the Law" originally had the punny refrain "You can be Annie, too!" | |

Power Rangers and Super Sentai: Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers was originally pitched as Galaxy Rangers, which is also the international title used for its source series. During development, Power Rangers Operation Overdrive was originally titled Drive Force and later Relic Hunters. Power Rangers Jungle Fury was titled Beast Fist early on in its development (a translation of the term "Juken", used in its parent show Gekiranger). Power Rangers Dino Fury, as revealed by director Simon Bennett, was originally titled Dino Knights, fitting with the heroes of Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger. By this point, Hasbro have final approval of all names, and it was ultimately changed. Hikari Sentai Maskman was titled Fiveman, which explains why their team symbol is the number 5. It was changed during post-production of the first episode, and the Fiveman name was used three years later. ''Choujin Sentai Jetman, evidently, had at least a couple; director Keita Amemiya gave the tentative title of "Jumpman" in a magazine before the premiere, while Toshihide Wakamatsu (Gai Yuki) would recall that it was originally "Birdman". As revealed by Tom Constantine, a proposed title for Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger was Sentai Sentai Sentaiger. The name "Sentaiger" ended up being used by the Geardalinger as the generic sound used when activating Sentai Gears for previous teams. |

Sesame Street went through various working titles, including 123 Avenue B, which was rejected for being too New York specific. This was even parodied in the show's 1969 pitch reel, where Muppets suggest various bad titles.

Macross was originally pitched by Studio Nue as "Megaroad", but advertising agency Big West wanted to change the title to "Macbeth", as one of Big West's executives was a Shakespeare fan. As a compromise, they changed the title to "Macross". The "Megaroad" name was eventually used for the SDF-2 Megaroad-01, which appeared in the 1987 OVA, Macross: Flashback 2012. | |

James Bond: The Undertaker's Wind for Live and Let Die. Meltdown for Licence Renewed. Tomorrow Always Comes for No Deals, Mr. Bond. Much like the previous example, the change was forced by the publisher. No Tears for Hong Kong for Zero Minus Ten. The original name ended up being used as a Market-Based Title in some countries. The World Is Not Enough for The Facts of Death. A Better Way to Die for High Time to Kill. Doppelganger for DoubleShot. The title comes from the old legends about seeing one's double, which was seen as a bad omen. Red Widow Dawn for The Man with the Red Tattoo, which is the name of the bad guys' Evil Plan. |

Return of the Jedi had Blue Harvest as a working title to keep the production hidden — besides from overeager fans, they really didn't want to repeat the experience of being overcharged by location managers for The Empire Strikes Back. When Family Guy made their first Star Wars special, they called it Blue Harvest. The film was later going to be named Revenge of the Jedi, which was changed due to revenge not being what a Jedi usually does. Revenge of the Sith gave this a Call-Back. | |

For a brief time before release, the English version of Strider was known as "The Falcon" due to Capcom's marketing dept. not being sold on the word "Strider" at first, but later conceded it was fine and reverted the decision. "Ninja Dynamics" was another English name considered. | |

Resident Evil: Resident Evil 3: Nemesis was originally intended as a side-story to the series and was known under a variety of working titles such as "Biohazard Gaiden" (not to be confused with the later Game Boy Color game of the same name), "Biohazard 1.9/2.1" and "Biohazard: Last Escape". The "3" was added to the last title, as Capcom wanted to release a final numbered Resident Evil game before moving on to the next-generation platforms. Resident Evil – Code: Veronica was originally titled "Biohazard 3" during its early drafts, until Capcom decided to keep the numbered installments on the PlayStation. Ironically enough, Resident Evil 4 ended up being made for the GameCube. Resident Evil: Gun Survivor 2 had the working title Biohazard: Fire Zone. |

Metal Gear: The original title for Metal Gear was titled "Intruder". In the MSX2 version, pausing the game and typing "intruder" and then resuming play will increase the ammo capacity of every weapon to 999, providing something of a Title Drop. Metal Gear Solid was originally titled Metal Gear 3 (back when the game was being made for the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer) until Kojima figured that not many people played the original MSX2 games. During the early development of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, the game was actually titled MGS III (skipping a number). Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker was originally known as "Metal Gear Solid 5". Unlike the previous PSP game in the series, Portable Ops, Peace Walker was directed by Hideo Kojima, who considers PW to be just as important as the numbered console entries. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance was first announced at E3 2009 under the title Metal Gear Solid: Rising. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain was being developed under the code name of Project Ogre, a reference to the shrapnel impale on Big Boss' forehead (which makes it look like an oni's horn). |

The Dark Side of the Moon was originally called Eclipse. This was actually something of a back and forth - The Dark Side of the Moon was their first choice, but when they learned a group called Medicine Head released an album with a nearly identical title while they were still working on theirs, they settled on Eclipse. However, Medicine Head's Dark Side of the Moon proved to be a commercial flop, so it was decided they could use the name again. | |

The first game was originally called "Mr. �リ�ズミ" ("Mr. Hedgehog"), which is often translated as "Mr. Needlemouse" (a literal translation of the Japanese word for "hedgehog"). Sega has acknowledged the Needlemouse name many times; as a Development Gag, Sonic the Hedgehog 4's Working Title was "Project Needlemouse". Humorously, an official Japanese quiz even gave "Mr. Needlemouse" a Japanese Recursive Translation (ミスター・ニードルマウス) to the disbelief of Yuji Naka, one of Sonic's creators. | |

Each of the Marvel Cinematic Universe shows on Netflix shows used a different working title for shooting, with the title being in some way related to something in the actual show. This practice continues with the MCU shows on Disney+: Daredevil (2015): Season 1 filmed under the working title "Bluff". Seasons 2 and 3 used the working title "Ringside", alluding to Matt being the son of a boxer. Jessica Jones (2015) used the working title "Violet", reflecting Jessica's main theme color. Luke Cage (2016) filmed under the working title "Tiara", a reference to Luke's comics outfit. Iron Fist (2017) filmed under the working title "Kick", since Danny is a martial artist. The Defenders (2017) filmed under the working title of "Group Therapy", a lampshade on how dysfunctional the four main heroes are. The Punisher (2017) filmed under the working title of "Crime". The first season of Loki (2021) was codenamed "River Cruise". The yet-to-be-released second season has the codename "Architect". |

Mortal Kombat (1992) was originally Dragon Attack, after the Queen song of the same name, which co-creator Ed Boon had a fondness of. It is from this title that the franchise's iconic dragon logo comes from, and the colours mentioned in the song served as the base for the colours used in the game's arcade cabinet. | |

The Sims: The original game went through several working titles when it started development in 1995, including Project X and Dollhouse Simulator. Electronic Arts decided against the latter name because they didn't want to potentially alienate a male audience. The Sims 4 was originally developed as a multiplayer game with the codename Project Olympus. |

Kirby's Dream Land was originally proposed as Popopo of the Spring Breeze, and then renamed Twinkle Popo. The latter name is a somewhat famous trivia point, as it was used late enough in development that box art and advertising material was produced using that name. They eventually delayed the release to decide on a more internationally-appealing name, and landed on Kirby of the Stars in Japan and Kirby's Dream Land internationally. | |

The sequel series to Avatar: The Last Airbender was originally going to be Avatar: The Legend of Korra, taking the basis of the British name for the original series. However, legal issues about the term 'Avatar' meant that it was changed to The Last Airbender: The Legend of Korra. After fan complaints about its bulk and lack of in-universe sense (she is no longer "the last airbender"), it became simply The Legend of Korra, maintaining the "Avatar" prefix overseas. From the original series, two episodes went through this: "The Blue Spirit" was originally called "The Red Spirit" and "The Blind Bandit" was originally called "The Earthbending Tournament". |

Degrassi: The Next Generation was originally conceived as Ready, Willing and Wired. When Stephen Stohn suggested the eventual title, apparently Linda Schuyler disliked the sense of rehashing past successes and felt the Star Trek reference sounded forced at first. But, since name recognition both in the U.S. and abroad is always an uphill battle for a Canadian Series, tying it in with the still-popular previous efforts made good business sense. | |

South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, according to Trey Parker and Matt Stone, was originally titled "South Park: All Hell Breaks Loose" but the MPAA wouldn't allow it (despite there being plenty of films with "Hell" in the title). Hence the final title, which is arguably even worse. The MPAA does deny this story, however. | |

Fallout had a weird situation. After Fallout 2, the team created a project for a prequel and code named it "Van Buren." Then Black Isle went bust and Van Buren never saw the light of day. After Bethesda bought it up, they made Fallout 3, which reused nothing from the Van Buren project... and then Bethesda farmed out their next project, Fallout: New Vegas, to Obsidian, the successor studio to Black Isle, who reused a lot of elements from the discarded Van Buren project for New Vegas and elevated Van Buren to Broad Strokes canon. However, all the remaining old material is still called Van Buren. The first Fallout game had the working title of Vault 13, the underground bunker the game starts in. According to the creator Tim Cain, the title was changed specifically because it wouldn't work for the title of the sequel. Subsequent brainstormings with the developers gave several alternate names, including The Vault, Ground-Zero, Survivors, Warriors of the Apocalypse, Radstorm, Nuclear Winter, Doomsday Winter, After the Bomb, and many more. It was the founder of Interplay, Brian Fargo, who suggested the name Fallout, and while Cain wasn't fond of it at first, he found that it perfectly described the post-apocalyptic setting of the game. |

King Kong (1933)'s original draft title was The Beast, but the film executives disliked such a generic, bland-sounding title, and after a number of suggestions, it was eventually named after the ape-monster himself, Kong, before being changed late in production to King Kong (he's never actually referred to as "King" Kong in the film itself) so that audiences wouldn't confuse it for one of the director's one-word titled documentaries (like Chang and Grass). One of the scrapped title suggestions, The Eighth Wonder, would become Kong's most famous nickname as "The Eighth Wonder of the World". | |

Star Trek: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan went through a lot of working titles as the story took shape. The earliest draft was titled Star Trek II: War of the Generations, as it involved Khan backing a youth revolt against the Federation led by Kirk's son. Next it became Star Trek II: The Omega System as the story had Khan get hold of a doomsday weapon; when art director Mike Minor suggested making the movie revolve around something more positive, it became Star Trek II: The Genesis Project. When director Nicholas Meyer did his (uncredited) rewrite of the script, the title became Star Trek II: The Undiscovered Country (a reference to Hamlet) –- an Executive Veto changed this to Star Trek II: The Vengeance of Khan.note Meyer later got to recycle this title for Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. Then finally the word "Vengeance" was changed to "Wrath" as it clashed with the then-upcoming Star Wars Episode VI: Revenge of the Jedi (which itself was later changed to Return of the Jedi anyway). Star Trek: Generations started development as Star Trek: The Next Generation: The Movie. It was probably changed because that is a very awkward name for a movie. |

Super Mario Bros.: Super Mario Bros. was very briefly considered to be renamed Mario's Adventure for the US market. The arcade port, Vs. Super Mario Bros., was going to be called Vs. Mario's Adventure. Super Mario 3D Land was announced as Super Mario. Mario Kart 7 was announced as Mario Kart. Paper Mario 64 was going to be known as Super Mario RPG 2. Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door was originally known as ​Paper Mario 2, and Mario Story 2 in Japan. Paper Mario: Sticker Star was announced as Paper Mario. Super Mario Maker had the working title of Mario Maker. Super Mario World was known in development as Super Mario Bros. 4; though the name was changed, it nonetheless stuck as a subtitle for the Japanese release. Similarly, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island was originally titled Super Mario Bros. 5: Yoshi's Island in a prototype build. Both titles are still sequels to Super Mario World. Subverted in Japan, where it was changed to Super Mario: Yoshi's Island. Subverted with New Super Mario Bros., where the working title was kept. Dr. Mario had the simple Working Title of Virus and originally didn't feature Mario at all. Super Mario Odyssey: The "Steam Gardens" area was originally known as Kogwald. The rename was likely made to better match the locale, since cogs are mostly absent from its steam-based machinery. |

"Falling Hare" was originally titled "Bugs Bunny and the Gremlin". The reason for the above change was that Walt Disney was planning a movie about gremlins and asked other studios to hold off any gremlin related projects. Warner Bros. already had two gremlin cartoons well into production, so they simply changed the titles. The second short, "Russian Rhapsody", was originally "Gremlins from the Kremlin". |

Licensed to Ill by Beastie Boys was originally called Don't Be a Faggot, wisely changed at Columbia's behest. "Sabotage" evolved out of an instrumental jam the band started referring to as "Chris Rock". That Chris Rock was well-known at the time, but it was a Creator In-Joke rather than a direct Shout-Out - there was a studio engineer named Chris who never had anything to say about the music they were recording until he heard them play "Sabotage", which he was enthusiastic about, seemingly because it was more of a rock song... So it was "Chris Rock" because it was the "rock" song that Chris liked. |

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan went through a lot of working titles as the story took shape. The earliest draft was titled Star Trek II: War of the Generations, as it involved Khan backing a youth revolt against the Federation led by Kirk's son. Next it became Star Trek II: The Omega System as the story had Khan get hold of a doomsday weapon; when art director Mike Minor suggested making the movie revolve around something more positive, it became Star Trek II: The Genesis Project. When director Nicholas Meyer did his (uncredited) rewrite of the script, the title became Star Trek II: The Undiscovered Country (a reference to Hamlet) –- an Executive Veto changed this to Star Trek II: The Vengeance of Khan.note Meyer later got to recycle this title for Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. Then finally the word "Vengeance" was changed to "Wrath" as it clashed with the then-upcoming Star Wars Episode VI: Revenge of the Jedi (which itself was later changed to Return of the Jedi anyway). | |

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is a rather interesting case. The working title was Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which, as you may recognize, is now the title of the sixth book. Originally, the second book would have contained the Chamber of Secrets plotline and the Half-Blood Prince plotline side-by-side. Ultimately, J. K. Rowling decided to keep the Chamber of Secrets plotline and move the Half-Blood Prince plotline to a later book, hence the sixth's re-use of various plot points from the second, such as a mysterious old schoolbook. | |

Slayer's God Hates Us All was originally going to be Soundtrack to the Apocalypse. Tom Araya decided the latter sounded more like a title for a retrospective box set than an album, so they named it after a lyric from the song "Disciple" instead... At the same time, they decided a box set was actually a good idea, so two years later they put one together and did in fact call it Soundtrack to the Apocalypse. | |

Stratovarius originally formed under the name Black Water. When Timo Tolkki joined, they changed their name to Stratovarius, a portmanteau of the Fender Stratocaster model of electric guitar and a Stradivarius violin, intended to represent the fusion of classical and power metal elements in the band's style. Their second album had the working title Stratovarius II, before it was released as Twilight Time. A crossover with What Could Have Been — The album Polaris was being developed under the codename R...R..., with Timo Tolkki as the main songwriter. However, after a long period of high tension between Tolkki and the other band members, he eventually left the group, forming a new band named Revolution Renaissance, which would have been the name of the album. The remaining band members decided to rework the album entirely, releasing it as Polaris. |

Kirby Air Ride started out as a Nintendo 64 game called Kirby Ball 64 — indicating it as a sequel to Kirby's Dream Course, which is Kirby Ball in Japan — and later Kirby's Air Ride before ending on the final name. The Japanese name is Kirby's Airride, which is pretty close. | |

Static-X initially formed as Drill, then became Static - the "X" was added once they realized there were already multiple other bands calling themselves Static. At one point they had also wanted to call themselves Wisconsin Death Trip, after a historical non-fiction book the band had become fascinated with - when their label told them the name was too long, Wisconsin Death Trip became the title of their first album instead. | |

Final Fantasy: Final Fantasy had the working title Fighting Fantasy, but the name was already being used for a tabletop game. Even before that, the game's original project name was simply "FF", with the full name being decided later in development—while "Fantasy" was always part of the title, any word could have been used instead of Final as long as it kept an Alliterative Title. The Mobius Final Fantasy working title was Mevius Final Fantasy. |

Every set of cards for Magic: The Gathering gets a code name. When sets were grouped in blocks, this was something that made sense in threes (since blocks usually have three sets) such as Friends, Romans, Countrymen, with the actual names turning up once flavour has been fully assembled. Occasionally they came up with clever things to do with this; Lorwyn was announced with the code names Peanut, Butter, Jelly, but Lorwyn's unique schtick was that every fifty years it would flip between "sunlight happyland" and "Deep One merfolk freakyland", with a large and small set for each version - so the block wasn't "Peanut, Butter, Jelly" but "Peanut, Butter" and "Jelly, Doughnut". When blocks were abandoned, the "premium" sets went to sports-themed code names in alphabetical order, since the code names need to be assigned well before the set gets any design work. (Strixhaven, the sixth set under the new naming scheme, was "Fencing".) "Supplemental" sets, since they're typically given code names after some work has been done on them, may have code names that are more specific to what the set is based on. | |

The Amazing World of Gumball: The show was originally going to be called Gumball and was not a reference to the main character's name, as the name came from Ben Bocquelet thinking of random things a boy would have in his pocket. Meanwhile, some of the episodes in his series underwent changes in title: "The World" note (the season two episode where the objects of Elmore come to life and the show is temporarily called The Amazing World of Elmore) was originally called "The Objects" "The Extras" note (the season three episode where the background characters, minor characters, and living prop characters scare off Gumball and Darwin and have their own episode) was originally called "The People" "The Fraud"note the season three episode where Principal Brown thinks Gumball and Darwin are going to expose him for having a fake diploma and not being qualified to be a principal was originally called "The Phoney" "The Boss"note the season three episode where Rocky the janitor takes an office job to pay for his father's operation was originally called "The Heart"note possibly because the episode was originally written with Mr. Robinson having a heart attack instead of suffering from a stuffing deficiency "The Void"note the season three episode where Gumball, Darwin, and Mr. Small venture into Elmore's dimension of mistakes to save a character who disappeared after season one was originally called "The Hole" "The Question"note season three episode where Gumball and Darwin find the meaning of life was originally called "The Answer" "The Origins"note season four episode — and the first two-parter episode — showing how Gumball and Darwin became brothers was originally called "The Roots". |

Plants vs. Zombies had almost one hundred alternate titles during development before the final title was selected, almost all of them either Pun-Based Titles or referencing other zombie media. These alternate titles include Bloom & Doom, Zom-Bottany and Lawn of the Dead (this last one being a personal favourite of one of the developers). Some of these alternate titles would be reused in-game; for example, Bloom & Doom became the name of the company producing the seed packets for your plants. | |

Ultra Series: Ultra Q was going to be called Unbalance. But with the popularity of the word "Ultra" in Japan at the time, it was changed, with the "Q" added to stand for "Question" or "Quest" to fit the mystery themes of the show. The title of Unbalance was later recycled by TsuPro for a horror series. Ultraman had several as it went through multiple drafts. Among the more notable of these are Bemlar: Scientific Investigation Agency and Redman (the latter of which was later recycled for a different show). Ultraseven was produced under the name Ultra Eye, which later became the name of Dan's Transformation Trinket. Ultraman Ace was originally to be named Ultra A. This was changed because it turned out the name was already copyrighted. Incidentally, this is also when the franchise began using Character Titles as the franchise naming convention, as all the previous series were just called Ultra ___. |

Sonic the Hedgehog: The first game was originally called "Mr. �リ�ズミ" ("Mr. Hedgehog"), which is often translated as "Mr. Needlemouse" (a literal translation of the Japanese word for "hedgehog"). Sega has acknowledged the Needlemouse name many times; as a Development Gag, Sonic the Hedgehog 4's Working Title was "Project Needlemouse". Humorously, an official Japanese quiz even gave "Mr. Needlemouse" a Japanese Recursive Translation (ミスター・ニードルマウス) to the disbelief of Yuji Naka, one of Sonic's creators. Knuckles Chaotix began development as a Sega Genesis game titled Sonic Crackers, with the ROM header referring to it as Sonic Studium. Note that the title was likely meant to be Sonic Clackers, since the game's main gimmick works exactly like the toy of the same name. As Sonic Crackers was built in April 1st it led many to believe to be a hoax when it was first discovered, but the text "SonicCrackersS32X" can be found in one early prototype of Chaotix, proving its legitimacy. According to the main programmer Jon Burton, Sonic 3D Blast was titled Sonic Spindrift in development. He says he does not know why the title was changed, though we can assume that after the cancellation of Sonic X-Treme Sega wanted to release a Sonic game that would emphasize the "3D" aspect of the gameplay. Sonic Unleashed was originally going to be the third installment in the Adventure series, but got renamed to Sonic World Adventure, before reaching its final name. The Japanese version kept the original title though. The name Sonic Generations was originally thought to be the Working Title for a new Sonic game, but this was averted and confirmed as the game's official title. Oddly enough, the game did have a working title, being marginally leaked as Sonic Anniversary. Sonic Mania had the working title of Sonic Discovery. Iizuka Takashi, head of Sonic Team, suggested the new name, as he felt it was a game made "for the mania, by the mania". Sonic Forces was titled Sonic Resistance in development. Sonic Frontiers was originally Sonic Rangers according to press release and metadata of the initial unnamed teaser. Sonic Superstars was named "Sonic Orion" internally prior to its full reveal. The save game on Switch still references this name and some screenshots with the Orion name had appeared on the official site before being eventually removed. The working title of Sonic and the Secret Rings was "Sonic Wildfire". |

Stranger Things was originally going to be called Montauk, and be based on the experiments that supposedly happened in the real-life New York town. Later the Duffer Brothers went through a list of other possible titles, settling on Stranger Things due to its similarity to Needful Things by Stephen King.

The Patrick Star Show: An earlier idea for the show was for it to stick with one-word titles. In this case, "Late for Breakfast" would have been called "HUNGRY!". It wasn't, and the outline changed it to "Patrick's Late for Dinner" before it was later finalized. "Backpay Payback" was originally titled "Payback's a Squid", likely changed due to being a pun on the phrase "payback's a bitch". "Patrick's Got a Zoo Loose" was originally "Patrick's Got an Alien Zoo Loose", likely shortened to make it less of a Word Salad Title. |

SpongeBob SquarePants was originally known as SpongeBoy Ahoy!, with the initial storyboards for the pilot carrying this title. For years it has been accepted as fact that the reason the title was changed because SpongeBoy was already being used as a mop brand, however the SpongeBoy mop doesn't exist (it's actually a pencil). "F.U.N." was originally titled "My Fair Plankton". "Can You Spare a Dime?" was originally titled "Down and Out in Bikini Bottom". "The Camping Episode" was originally titled "Squid Gets Mauled". "Shell of a Man" was originally titled "Molting" and "Shell Game". "The Clash of Triton" was originally titled "Neptune's Party". "One Coarse Meal" was originally titled "Plankton Got Served". "Welcome to the Bikini Bottom Triangle" was originally titled "Welcome to the Bermuda Triangle". "Sanctuary!" was originally titled "One Snail Sponge". "Mermaid Pants" was originally titled "Mermaid Pants and Barnacle Star". "Moving Bubble Bass" was originally titled "Move Your Bubble Bass", which was changed for obvious reasons. "Krusty Kleaners" was originally titled "Clean Livin'". |

El Goonish Shive: On multiple occasions, Dan has named storylines provisionally as "Title pending" before replacing them with appropriate titles partway through. This was turned into an in-joke during the storyline with "party" in its URL, which never got a proper name and eventually was divided into the chapters "Title Pending 2 - Even More Pending", "Title Pending 3 - Untitled Party", and "Title Pending 5 or 6". The final strip of the arc retroactively named it "Reflections", but it's still listed as "Title Pending" in the archive. | |

Final Fantasy had the working title Fighting Fantasy, but the name was already being used for a tabletop game. Even before that, the game's original project name was simply "FF", with the full name being decided later in development—while "Fantasy" was always part of the title, any word could have been used instead of Final as long as it kept an Alliterative Title. | |

Both Tattletales and its beta edition He Said, She Said had developmental titles. He Said, She Said was first planned in 1966 for NBC as It Had to Be You, but was shelved for three years and was eventually syndicated. It was redeveloped for CBS under the name Celebrity Match Mates in 1973 and had Gene Rayburn as the host. Rayburn landed the Match Game reboot, so as the show made it to the air in February 1974 as Tattletales, Bert Convy was tapped as host. | |

Many episodes of Doctor Who were filmed under a different name to the one they were broadcast under. Due in part to the tendency to use working titles and the fact that each individual episode had titles at first, there is some debate as to what some early Hartnell stories should be called. For instance, the second serial had seven episodes, titled "The Dead Planet", "The Survivors", "The Escape", "The Ambush", "The Expedition", "The Ordeal", and "The Rescue", and the story as a whole used the titles "The Mutants" and "The Dead Planet" during production. Despite all this, the title most commonly used for marketing is "The Daleks". Three separate stories were originally known as "Return of the Cybermen", with at least one being changed so the Cybermen would be a surprise. "The Claws of Axos" was known as "The Vampire from Space" right up until transmission, with the first episode being listed in the Radio Times under that title. "The Deadly Assassin" was originally "The Dangerous Assassin", until Robert Holmes decided it didn't "sound right". "The Face of Evil" was originally "The Day God Went Mad", apparently just to wind up the Moral Guardians. "The Caves of Androzani" was originally called "Chain Reaction". "The Long Game" was "The Companion Who Couldn't", giving away how short Adam's story arc was going to be. When the first series of New-Era Who was in production, all the production materials gave the series name as "Torchwood" - an anagram of Doctor Who - in an effort to keep it secret. The title eventually acquired its own series because Russell T Davies liked the way it sounded. "Silence in the Library" was originally known as "A River Song Ending" because Steven Moffat and Russell T Davies were having a game of coming up with titles with rude acronyms. And yes, this is how River Song got her name to begin with. In his Doctor Who Magazine column for March 2011, Steven Moffat announced what some of the upcoming episodes wouldn't be called: The first episode of the new season wouldn't be "Year of the Moon" ("I really like that title, but absolutely nobody else does in the whole wide world"), the second wouldn't be "Look Behind You!", and the mid-season finale either wouldn't be "His Darkest Hour" or it wouldn't be "A Good Man Goes to War". Neil Gaiman's episode, meanwhile, had a story so secret Moffat couldn't even tell us what it wasn't called. ("Bigger on the Inside", and before that "The House of Nothing"). In a later column, Moffat mentions that "The Eleventh Hour" was originally "The Doctor Returns" before "some smartarse" pointed out he hadn't gone anywhere. One two-parter of Series 9 was first announced as "Invasion of the Zygons"/"Inversion of the Zygons", but subsequently changed to "The Zygon Invasion"/"The Zygon Inversion", probably because it was catchier. Sarah Dollard's "Trap Street" was a standalone script subsequently revised into a Story Arc-critical Wham Episode and retitled "Face the Raven". "The Pilot" was originally announced as "A Star in Her Eye", but subsequently given a Double-Meaning Title referencing both the antagonist and the episode being written to serve as a jumping-on point for new or lapsed viewers since it introduced a new companion. |

Twilight itself had the working title Forks, the name of the town that it's set in. Word of God admits that it wouldn't be a very good title, but she didn't know what else to call it. They came up with "Twilight" while listing words with a nice, mysterious feel; originally they tried coming up with another word to pair with it, but eventually decided Twilight was good on its own. The final book of the series, Breaking Dawn, was originally going to be titled Forever Dawn. |

The original title for Metal Gear was titled "Intruder". In the MSX2 version, pausing the game and typing "intruder" and then resuming play will increase the ammo capacity of every weapon to 999, providing something of a Title Drop. | |

The Thief and the Cobbler had such titles as The Thief Who Never Gave Up, Once..., simply The Thief, or The Cobbler and the Thief. The film was released after Executive Meddling under two names: The Princess and the Cobbler and the punny Arabian Knight, before being released on VHS as The Thief and the Cobbler. This doesn't even mention the early period when it was about Mulla Nasruddin, and has names such as Nasruddin!, The Majestic Fool or The Amazing Nasruddin. | |

Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! (1969) originally had the working titles Who's Scared? and Mysteries Five. After CBS rejected the original presentation art as too scary, the network's head of daytime and children's programming, Fred Silverman, heard Frank Sinatra's "Strangers In The Night" while flying back to New York and the "scooby dooby doo" tag at the end of the song caught his attention. He called Joe Barbera and told him to give the show a comedy slant, make the dog the star and call him Scooby-Doo. He was originally a sheepdog called Too Much, but was changed to a Great Dane as one of the artists at Hanna-Barbera raised Great Danes as a hobby and the Archie show (which followed Scooby on CBS) already had a sheepdog, Jughead's pet Hot Dog. In that same season, Hanna-Barbera was developing a show with the title "Stop That Pigeon," which featured a jelly-bellied Red Baronesque figure and a dachshund with pilot's goggles. It evolved into Dastardly & Muttley in Their Flying Machines, recruiting the villains from Wacky Races. |

Project Gotham Racing's codename was... Project Gotham Racing. The predecessor was Metropolis Street Racing, and PGR was chosen as their codename, but a wrong billboard commission (where it was supposed to be announced with a proper name instead of the codename) prior to its reveal forced Microsoft and Bizarre Creations to move forward with this name. The developers revealed that due to this, their next projects had profane codenames, just to avoid this mistake. | |

Vicky said she had files on her computer with "TNG" in the name for years after they were out. The Curse for Dark River, as seen in advanced-release copies of The Sight. Cruel Season for Sunrise. The Fourth Apprentice for the Omen Of The Stars series; the first book (which ended up getting the name The Fourth Apprentice) would have been Ambush. Betrayal or Dark Betrayal for Night Whispers. (Vicky and the US editor Erica were "fighting most sweetly" about it, according to Kate.) Crookedstar's Secret for Crookedstar's Promise, as HarperCollins' catalog originally listed it as such. Strangers in the Snow for Shattered Peace, according to illustrator James Barry Goosefeather's Curse had the working titles Goosefeather's Past (per a listing on a HarperCollins website) and Goosefeather's Madness (according to Vicky before its release). Squirrelflight's Kin for Squirrelflight's Hope, according to a comment from Kate on her blog Leopardstar's Salvation for Leopardstar's Honor, based on one of Kate's social media posts. |

Both Nevermind and In Utero from Nirvana had working titles. The former was Sheep, so named because Cobain thought sheep would be the only people who bought it. The latter was I Hate Myself and Want to Die, which was dropped because Cobain thought people would take the title seriously instead of the intended joke. | |

This Is Not a Werewolf Story originally had a different title, though the author hasn't revealed what it was.

Averted in the case of Steve Jackson's Generic Universal RolePlaying System, which was never intended to be released under that name, and was always supposed to get an evocative, marketable title at some point... but it never happened. The working title was its joke name at the company: Great Unnamed RolePlaying System = GURPS for short - was used as a placeholder while waiting for someone to think of a better name. But no one did, and GURPS, became the title it was released as. | |

Doom: An early name for Doom was "Attack Of The Attackers". There were planned to be six episodes instead of three. The first episode would be called Evil: Unleashed, later used for the name of the Jaguar port. Knee-Deep in the Dead was supposed to be the title of the third episode. Doom 64 originally went by "The Absolution" but was changed to "Doom 64" to stay on-brand (although this caused confusion as it implied it was a conversion of a Doom game for the Nintendo 64 instead of a completely original Doom installment). The name was used as a map name in the game itself instead. |

Several Family Guy episodes have had working titles: "FOX-y Lady" was originally titled "Anchorwoman: The Legend of Lois Griffin". "We Love You, Conrad" was originally titled "An American Dog in Paris".note The change is due to the fact that Brian was originally going to date Paris Hilton in the episode, but she turned down the offer to voice herself, leading to the show being rewritten so that Lauren Conrad is Brian's date. "Spies Reminiscent of Us" was originally titled "Road to '85".note This was because the episode was originally in development as a "Road to..." episode before "Road to the Multiverse" became the one for that season. "Excellence in Broadcasting" was originally titled "Peter Griffin is a Big Fat Idiot".note This was probably because the episode was about Peter becoming friends with Rush Limbaugh rather than Brian. "Tiegs for Two" was originally titled "Famiry Guy".note The change was actually a good thing, because the story of Peter antagonizing a Chinese launderer is actually the B-plot. The third Star Wars parody, "It's a Trap!", was originally titled "The Great Muppet Caper". "Lottery Fever" was originally titled "Powerball Fever". "Ratings Guy" was originally titled "All in the Nielsen Family" "Jesus, Mary & Joseph!" was originally titled "Jesus Christ!" "Baking Bad" was originally titled "Peter and Lois Open a Store" (the episode is still called that on the DVD set and on Netflix). "Papa Has a Rollin' Son" was originally titled "Crip Off the Old Block". "A Shot in the Dark" was originally titled "Stand Your Brown". |

The "3" was added to the last title, as Capcom wanted to release a final numbered Resident Evil game before moving on to the next-generation platforms. | |

Everyone thought that Cloverfield was just a working title. Then the movie came out under that name. Played straight with the rest of the franchise. 10 Cloverfield Lane was Valencia, while The Cloverfield Paradox was God Particle (and possibly Cloverfield Station). This is partially because the films were not originally intended to be part of the franchise. |

Kill 'Em All was originally called Metal Up Your Ass. It was changed as the label thought it would impede the band's commercial success, though the original artwork was later re-used for a T-shirt. | |

The two The Matrix sequels were shot back to back under the code name The Burly Man. Possibly in reference, the two major Neo vs. Smith fights in the two sequels are referred to as the "Burly Brawl" and the "Super Burly Brawl". | |

Code Lyoko was originally Garage Kids, with a darker theme and lacking Aelita. The digital world was called "Xanadu" instead of "Lyoko". Also, Yumi could use telekinesis in the real world. It was later revamped, with a clearer boundary between the digital world and the real world. | |

Subverted with Octopath Traveler, which was originally announced as "Project Octopath Traveler". By the time the demo came out, Square Enix had just lopped off the word "Project", and that ended up becoming the final title. The follow-up game, Triangle Strategy, followed the same pattern (started life as "Project TRIANGLE STRATEGY" and then finalized by dropping "Project"). | |

Torchwood: Miracle Day was originally going to be named The New World, as evidenced by early promotional materials before changing to Miracle Day. However, the first episode keeps the original name and one character name-drops it in the season finale. Torchwood itself takes its title from what was the anagram code name for the first season of the Doctor Who revival. The episode Torchwood S1 E9 "Random Shoes" was originally called Invisible Eugene, and the working title was used in some promotional material. |

An instrumental jam that eventually became the verse section of "Zombie Eaters" was informally known to the band as "Surprise! You're Dead". While the finished song ended up being called something else, Mike Patton liked the title "Surprise! You're Dead" enough that he used it for a totally different song on the same album. | |

Knuckles Chaotix began development as a Sega Genesis game titled Sonic Crackers, with the ROM header referring to it as Sonic Studium. Note that the title was likely meant to be Sonic Clackers, since the game's main gimmick works exactly like the toy of the same name. As Sonic Crackers was built in April 1st it led many to believe to be a hoax when it was first discovered, but the text "SonicCrackersS32X" can be found in one early prototype of Chaotix, proving its legitimacy. | |

The original working title for Kirby: Planet Robobot was "Kirby: HAGANE" (hagane means "steel" in Japanese). That was felt to be too edgy, so it was changed to "Robot Planet," which seemed too simplistic. It was tweaked to "Roborobo Planet", and then "Robobo Planet", the final Japanese name. The English version then tweaked that further to "Planet Robobot". | |
