Best name for a novel

The best name is born out of the story itself - not what might sound good - so how can people help you if they're not intimately familiar with your story?
My current publisher queried the title of my next book, asking what on Earth it meant. But by the time he'd read it twice he agreed it was perfect.

Hi! I've just finished a speculative fiction novel, but I'm struggling with the name and I'd love to get some input from sci-fi/fantasy readers to help me dial it in.
I put together a quick poll here. It shows a few names at a time and asks which you like better for the book:

(I've removed all links or promotional content from that page to avoid self-promotion. It's just a simple poll.)
Just a few seconds of your time would be super helpful. Thank you so much!
