What's in a name?

I named "When the Wind Whispers Your Name" right out of the gate.  I think I'd written less than a chapter when it came to me, and I immediately bestowed it on my lowly story.  Sometimes names just hit me like that.  Other times, not so much.

I try to think of several possible titles for stories, but it can be difficult.  I've recently started contemplating this particular title, and I'm not so sure I like it as much anymore.  Does it really grab me?  Does it have the urgency and depth of the story?  I'm not so sure.  Unfortunately, if I kick it to the curb, that means I have to come up with a new title.  That has me quaking a bit in my boots (really, flats...don't really wear boots, anymore).  What do I call it?  What stands out?  What title would best sum up the story and say to potential readers, "Hey, you, read me!  I'm a good story!  I'll entertain for a few hours."  Hmm...I'm just not sure yet.
