I need help coming up with a name for my book

Questions & Discussions

My book is fully done and I haven't committed to a name yet and would like your opinions on it. It's tentatively called "Accidental Kingpins", but some other options:

  • The Fumbling Bandits
  • The Clusterfuck Chronicles
  • The Amateur Hour
  • Gray Areas
  • Zero to Crime Lord
  • From Broke to Broke the Law
  • When Plan B is a Felony
  • Stumbling into the Underworld

Open to other ideas as well. Below is the summary of the novel:

Charlie and Yuki are two regular schmucks trying to make rent when they stumble ass-backwards into a life of crime. What starts as fake cash and forged checks has a funny way of multiplying — one scheme leads to another, and then another, until they've built something neither of them planned and neither of them knows how to stop. They're joined by Luna, a hot mess of a woman with more secrets than a confessional booth.

As they fumble through the criminal underworld like drunk toddlers at a rave, Charlie and Yuki find themselves drowning in cash and knee-deep in shit. It's about what happens when the gray areas you convinced yourself were harmless stop being gray. And it's about the kind of loyalty that survives even when everything else goes up in flames.

[Name Pending] is a clusterfuck of a tale that'll make you laugh, cringe, and question your life choices. A rollercoaster through the seedy underbelly of crime where the only rule is "don't get caught" and morality is about as useful as a public defender on a Friday afternoon.

So strap in, grab a beer, and get ready for a wild ride with two dipshits who went from zero to crime lord faster than you can say "holy shitballs." Just remember: in this world, crime pays... kind of.
