You've sold yourself short! What about these?
Plant names: the great "Sunflower"; "They Burn the Thistles"; technically "The Dud Avocado"
Is "Ice" a weather event? "Dirty Snow" must be. How about "Summer Cooking"?
Animals: "Stray Dog Cabaret"; "The Day of the Owl"; "The Horse's Mouth"
First names: "Twenty Days with Julian" (or is that biography?); "Eustace and Hilda"; "Letty Fox, Her Luck"; "English, August"; "Mouchette"; and if you count "Odysseus" (hmmm...), what about "Born Under Saturn"?
