I could live with The Property Of A Lady - although it does sound like a Mills and Boon title. The Hildebrand Rarity, well, just sounds a bit odd for a Bond film title; however, it may well be used one day, I guess...

1. The Property Of A Lady
2. Risico
3. The Hildebrand Rarity
So I'd say definitely The Property Of A Lady. To me, it sounds more like a Bond title than anything else.
I also like the idea of some Fleming chapter titles as potential film titles:
(The) Nature Of Evil - CR
Dead Reckoning - MR
Killing Ground - DN
(The) Shadower - TB
(The) Death Collector - YOLT
I also think "Shatterhand" could be used as well as both a potential villain name and a title....
Sounds better to me than the poor attempts at Flemingesque titles "Never Say Never Again" or "Tomorrow Never Dies."

Bond 24:
007 in New York
Another one i consider for Bond 24 be ''Never Send Flowers'' but on the moment ''007 in New York'' be my title choose. Another one consider be ''Even dead care about us'' or ''Dead Even Care about us''. I believe that one of those 2 last one be said in earlier Bond movie.
Bond 25:
The Hildebrand Rarity
The work title of those 3 movies together: The Living Tree.
Taken from one of Shakespeare's historical epics (I can't remember which one, but I suspect it might be one of the HENRY or RICHARD episodes). "Cry havoc" was a battle call in the Middle Ages - the full line from the play is "Cry havoc, and let slip the dogs of war!" - which basically equated to "At my signal, unleash hell!".
SLOUCHING TOWARDS BETHLEHEM
Lifted from W.B. Yeats' THE SECOND COMING. It's a difficult poem to interpret, but the final line is "And what rough beast, its hour come 'round at last, slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?" and is a warning of sorts, a caution that humanity's time is near - even if it is unprepared. In fact, THE SECOND COMING has plenty of great lines that could serves as titles: "Slouching Towards Bethlehem", "The Widening Gyre", "Pitiless as the Sun", "The Blood-Dimmed Tide", and even "The Best Lack All Conviction".
A THRONE OF BAYONETS
This was something Boris Yeltsin said after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the failed coup back in 1991. It's pretty self-explanatory; the full quote is "You can build a throne of bayonets, but you cannot sit on it for long". The problem is that it does sound like a title you could expect to find in THE WHEEL OF TIME or A SONG OF FIRE AND ICE or some other fantasy series.
THE DEVIL'S ENTOURAGE
I really like this one. It's not taken from any particular source; it was just something I came up with. I was playing around with THE DEVIL'S REFUGEE as a title when I realised it was taken from an Oasis song. Then I somehow wound up with the word "entourage", probably because a friend of mine was right into the series of the same name. I wound up working the two together and got THE DEVIL'S ENTOURAGE, which I think is a really strong name; complex enough for a Bond film, but not isolationist the way QUANTUM OF SOLACE was (although EON repeatedly explained it at the press conference where it was unveiled, the press largely chose to ignore them for the sake of more stories about how odd the title was).
'For A Royal Task'
'For Unlicensed Can Kill'
'Calm Under Naked Temerity'
...okay I admit I just want a title that we can all snigger at when we use the acronym on this forum.' :)
Grow Up
The Killing Ground.
No Place Like Hell.
Sleep When I'm Dead.
Risico.
(without the: 'The' at the beginning, sounds meaner :P)
When making a Bond title, i think it has to have a certain 'feel' and sense to it, that most films cannot carry out, like Quantum of Solace had a really unusual and mysterious name, while things like Tommorow Never Dies and Live and Let Die have a strong, well-known-saying feel to them. We don't want something like 'With wind, comes a breeze' (randomly just made-up), because it doesn't sound like a 'Bond' film, if you know what i mean.
