My story is set in the the year is 1838, England.
Anne tries to end her life of prostitution by attempting suicide. But, she is rescued by a gentleman, named, Edward. His sister has a secret, and that secret leads her to offer Charlotte a life with her. Charlotte slowly begins to fall for Edward. BUT though he falls for her as well, he values his popularity amongst his friends, more than his growing affection for her -- as to love her would mean to lose the friendship of his friends, who all dislike her. Charlotte tries to become a lady, but society suppresses her.
My story is a gothic-like romance (kind of like Wuthering Heights--NOT that I'm going to copy this story!)
At the moment, I'm thinking of the title:
-Vermillion (I rlly like this one, but it sounds unsuitable for a dark romance...)
-The Nonentity
-Far from Sanity
-The House of Ill-Fame
-Lady of the Night (this title sounds like the title of some corny romance. Doesn't it?)
Any better suggestions??

I hate to say it, but Vermillion is the best. However, you're right, it just doesn't fit. The rest run the gamut from "good for a horror novel" to "even Barbara Cartland wouldn't touch that." (Sorry, just had to be glib. I liked the way I phrased it.)
Depending on the setting, you could riff off of Wuthering Heights and calling "The Moors." If it takes place in London, maybe incorporate the name of a neighborhood (worked for "Notting Hill!"). Otherwise, scour Dickens or Wilkie Collins for some clues. Abstract phrases from any novel of that era that allude to the story or character might work.

This was a fun question to think about. Unlike the first person's comment, I think it's great that you're writing and it sounds like you've got something really good started there.
Here are a few suggestions:
Inside Out (there's lots of meanings there)
Red Rum (yes, i'm thinking of The shining but you could use it)
Whore interrupted (i'm totally kidding on that one)
gentlewoman (kind of twisted but the guy in the story sounds like the real whore as compared to the woman)
The attempted life (ooohh, i like that one. LOL...of course i would, i came up with it. LOL)
Good luck... and keep at it. It sounds good.

I really like Far from Sanity. How about:
The Reformation of Anne
Death of a Whore
The Harlot's Diary
or since you like Vermilion add something to that like:
The Vermilion Painted Lady(or harlot/whore or any other work for prostitute)
Eternal Vermilion
The House of Vermilion

She's of course fearful of the dolls, that are innocuous and he or she seems superstitious. Does she flow interior the basement, besides? Does she ultimately triumph over her concern? is this tale to be entered right into a contest, i'm hoping? One identify theory is The Eyes At Grandma's.

well, what about- All is fair in love and war?
or, if there is a certain place a main event takes place in such as a hotel, inn, (brothel even) you could name it after that.

Keep thinking. This is really a time waster, all you kids who want titles to your insipid stories. Or just call it "I can't write but think I can and this is a real piece of garbage." That ought to attract attention!
