Those of you who write: how do you come up with a good title?

I know it’s cliched to turn to other literature and poetry for titles, but that’s what I’ve been doing lately, since I’ve never really done it before. Working on a fantasy story called “Those the Candles Light” and a fantasy/surreal/philosophical story called “My Name is Ozymandias”, both lines form poems.
I couldn’t help it; they sound cool, and they find themselves working into the story in a subtle but interesting way.
How else do you personally come up with a good title? Moreover, what are some of your favorite titles? I happen to love “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead”. Gets straight to the point. :)
