Um, I think you need to work on your story structure before you worry about a title. Make a good solid outline first and form your story from that. I like to make titles for my stories too, but only after I have a really good idea of what my story is about and I know my characters pretty well. Just title it, "My Story," for now. You should'nt have to ask other people about a title for your book because you should know it better than anyone else.
Good luck, and don't give up. :)

A Word of Advice regarding titles - given to me by a best selling author personally.

Don't fall too in love with titles. The publisher has the right to change it and they quite often do. Unless you are a very major author, you will have no say in the matter.

Also, publishers prefer that you use two word titles. It looks better on a paperback cover. The author who gave me this advice always uses two word titles - except once he decided on a 5 word title. His publisher Little, Brown gave him a major hard time over it but eventually gave in. That is because he has sold millions of books for them. New authors rarely are given such choices.

Another piece of advice. You do not have to name the book now. Call it WIP Work in Progress. I haven't selected a title for the book I finished this week, although I have a thought. In fact, I have never selected a title for one of my books until after it was edited and I sat down and read the manuscript cover to cover. Then let the book tell you what it's title is - it will come to you. Novice writers - especially very young ones - tend to get hung up on picking cute character names and titles instead of worrying about the outline and character studies. Your energies are misdirected then, and it seriously makes your story suffer. I once wrote an entire book with my main character named one thing and when I was done, realized the name didn't work for her. The great thing about using Word is one click of find and replace and it is changed. Don't be afraid to call your book WIP and your characters X. XX or (insert name here). Those details are best saved for the end.
Good luck. Pax - C

Blood ties or blood bonds. It links the family bonds with the vampires but may make it sound more sinister than you would like or give away too much too early.
