I just can’t seem to stop having ideas for some reason. But I’m running into a bit of a problem. I’ve been thinking about the title for this new idea and I’m not sure which way to go. Whether I should go with a kinda funny title or a more accurate title. For context, it centres around a play on the main character’s name. One is a bodily function and the other is a physical action. If I go with the bodily function, people might expect certain things in the story. But if I go with the more accurate title, it won’t necessarily be as funny and people might be less inclined to read it. What do you think?

The way I title anything I write, is with some type of reference to the story or some part of it's content. I like to give the reader as many hints as I can, about what my story will entail. I personally believe, that a title which is in some way faithful to the story’s content, will garner you at least, some good grace with a reader, even if, for whatever reason, they choose to avoid reading that story. However, I don't see any reason why an accurate title, can't also include a bit of humor. Maybe you should try 'playing around with' the two potential titles, just to see if it's possible to add whatever you feel is missing from them. But if you absolutely can't bear to change them, take a look at both and then pick the one that 'feels' best to you in that moment; As they say, the first response is usually the correct one.

Sending hugs your direction, titles can be the bane of authors. (readers should feel lucky it’s not “TBD” all the way through...) More seriously, I’d suggest simply using that “new idea title” temporarily until you figure out what you actually want to do. I typically start with a temporary “working title” until I get a ways into the chapters, when I can refine it later. Maybe the main character’s name, or some other central theme, or a key word/phrase. (ie, for Jefferey, it’s the main character. For Repair Guy, it was a spin on a common trope.)

Lol, the Deadman Chronicles? I don’t think I’m that self-centred.

It’s “Return of the Deadman Chronicles!”

That’s an interesting idea although not sure if I want to go in that direction.

Yeah, I put in a temporary title just so I could write down the idea. But I’m still not sure about what the final title is.

Another option is to mask part of it… so it could be “Hermione (Censored) Harry”

Well, that was fun… Anyone else feel the earthquake that just rocked the Northeast area?

Okay, that's a decent list, actually, and you'll notice that there is NO fruit mentioned at all. This is GOOD. We are not a salad bar, after all. You have two of your women being C cup, and that measurement, 36 and 42, refers to the band, or the part of the bra that wraps around the body. I'm going to assume those are inch measurements, since we're talking adult women here. 42 inches for a band is a woman with a wide back and a broad build. If that's what you're going for, that's great, but... Marilyn Monroe wore a 36D. Salma Hayek is a 36C. Kim Kardashian is a 32DD. Katy Perry is a 32D. So, you see, it's the cup size that's the fullness of the breast, not the band. For visuals, read this. As I said in the shoutbox, and I'll repeat it here for any other curious authors, I myself prefer not to be told a specific size for breasts, or for penises. I have a terrific imagination. That's why I'm a writer, because I have all these imaginary worlds and people in my head. So, give my imagination something to do when I'm reading. If you describe breasts as "lush," I'm going to have an image in my head that is pleasing and sexy. If you tell me the breasts are 36DD, I'm going to start thinking about how I should probably check and see if Victoria's Secret is having any good sales, or maybe I can look online... and you've lost me. I'm shopping, not reading your story. Engage your readers by engaging their imaginations, not by writing a catalog.
