To name a painting

Kathryn V. Crabbe. 2012. My My My Precious Love. Acrylic and charcoal on canvas, 48 x 48 inches.
This painting from my Journey Into Intimacy Series garnered a great deal of attention on Facebook where I challenged friends to come up with a title or an idea for what they saw, felt, or experienced when viewing it.
Here are some titles suggested:
Protozoa
Probing Souls
Inner Light
United View
Sperm Eyes
Mermaid Baby Love
Insemination
Seedling Tapestry
Conception
New Life
Eye Seed You
Bird’s Eye View
The name I eventually chose was My My My Precious Love. I’ll be doing more of this sort of thing when I’m stumped for a title ’cause it’s fascinating to hear how people interpret the work; very often a dominant theme pops up.
