Romances, especially Harlequins, get a bad rap for having quirky titles. Sometimes the character names are just as funny. What's the most interesting title and character names you've encountered?

So I went to the title generator and came up with this -

The Albanian Billionaire's Wily Virgin
The Parisian Tycoon's Bemused Fishmongeress
The Samoan Baby Daddy's Virgin Bride
The Mesopotamian Marquis's Anarcho-Syndicalist Duchess
The Arabian Prince's Bashful Feminist

If someone from Harlequin Presents wants to steal one of them, be my guest.

Somehow I missed this thread last year. I've been name-generating all afternoon, laughing, and wondering if I could write semi-serious stories based on totally ludicrous names! :) So much fun!
