    Some of these don't make a ton of sense, but off the top of my head:

    Death Drives an Aston
    Enjoying Death
    Afterlife
    Fatal Wounds
    On A Cold Day
    Dusk Comes to All
    Waking the Sun
    The Words of an Assassin
    Make the Dead Cry

    I feel like there's something to Dusk Comes to All.

    Your Sun one made me think of that old saying about the British Empire which I thought might be good for a particularly patriotic Bond story:
    The Sun Never Sets

    Names that EON owns and might use in the next movie:

    1. The Property of a Lady: It went into production in the early 90s as TD 3rd Bond movie. Then the story evolved into what would become Goldeneye. Time to finally make this movie.

    2.The Hildebrand Rarity: Hildebrand was used as a safe house in Skyfall. In the short story it refers to a rare fish, but they could make it refer to some artifact that someone got killed over and Bond has to investigate.

    3. Risico: I Love this title. I would change its meaning and have it refer to the name of a villain. A mastermind evil genius that Bond has to go after.

    4. 007 in New York: I used to think this title would never be used. But after killing off Bond, they might want 007 in the title to let all moviegoers know 007 is back.

    5. James Bond of the Secret Service: This was the working title for a script by Kevin McClory and Fleming. It never happened and Fleming used it as the basis for Thunderball. If this was the title that Fleming wanted to use to introduce Bond to moviegoers, it might be the one EON decides to use to re-introduce him after his death.

    6. Never Say Never Again: I know this is already a remake of Thunderball. But EON owns this now and it wouldn't be the first time they use a title and ignore the story that goes with it. I love this tile (the movie not so much). I don't think they'll use it, but Never say...

    7. Warhead: This was the title of never say never again before it became never say never again. I really don't see them using this title under any circumstances.

    thereby satisfying a certain group here ;)

    Honestly, I don't know. It has to feel like Bond, James Bond for the global general audience. And I do not know how to guess that at this point.

    Perhaps ... Licensed Renewed (however you want to spell Licence/License)
    It gives the intent and feeling of Bond, easy enough for the general public and still a strong title.

    Also, it could be good if they start with 007 as a somewhat seasoned 00 agent; I do NOT want a true rookie Bond - but maybe one who was temporarily suspended from 00 duties due to his behavior during a past mission. So that could set up personal and professional challenges for the new James Bond very well, and could go into an exciting action story with him having to prove to one and all that he deserves his 00 status again. Just a thought. I am sure EON has kicked around many ideas already; I'm not concerned, just pleasantly curious what Bond 26 will be.

    Since it will be the seventh Bond actor, how about a play on that?

    From Zero To Seven
    The Seventh Dare

    You could also do "Seven Minutes in Hell", a twist on the middle school party game "Seven Minutes in Heaven"

    I always liked Zero Minus Ten. Is there a title with more urgency?

    @PropertyOfALady , do you want Risico?

    Yes, I think it would be good....despite not knowing how to pronounce it.

    Titles in the style of "Dr No" or "Colonel Sun"...

    Professor Niemandsvriend!

    Or alternatively, Niemantsverdriet – which translates to “No Man’s Trouble” or “No Man’s Sorrow”.

    Or maybe Professor Ecks (aka "X")

    Furst von Last!

    Fürst, "the first", is a German word for a ruler and is also a princely title.

    Judge Konets!

    The Russian translation we can draw from “Konets” is “The End.”
    Half Russian, half Jaffa, all evil!

    Looking at the North American Box Office I would go with the title 007 in New York and set the majority of the film in the States with Felix in a prominent role.

    007 in New York would be a great title for EON to re-introduce a character who is supposed to be dead. And it is a Fleming title, so it would be: Ian Fleming's 007 in New York. And Bond hasn't been to NY since LALD.

    There were some cool fan arts with 007 in New York in 2009

    This might truly be the only time where 007 In New York would actually work well for a "Bond is back" title with the added bonus of it being a Fleming title. Previously I would have assumed it would never even be considered.

    Good one. It's the collective audience song of the Craig Bond era in the cinemas. ;)

    I think the title of Bond 26 should be a wink to the ending of Bond 25. "Yes, that happened, but The Sun Never Sets." ;)

    the issue here is No Time to Die basically changed everything as before we had a nice pattern the changed every 6th film (with the 5th/6th setting the pattern for the next few films)

    to prove my point

    The Living Daylights - Fleming short story
    License To Kill - title associated with Fleming
    The Property of A lady (had it happened) - Fleming Short Story
    Goldeneye - Title Associated with Fleming
    Tommorow Never Dies- Original title
    The World Is not Enough -title associated with Fleming
    Die another Day - Original Title
    Casino Royale- Fleming title (the new pattern being location of the climax)
    Quantum of Solace- Organization and emotional state Bond is dealing with
    Skyfall - Location of the climax
    Spectre- organization and what bond is dealing with emotionally (spectre/ghosts of the past)

    So it should of been

    The Garden of death....


    BUT NOOOOOOOO


    so patterns are out the window

    So what are we left with

    Honestly while I am nervous about the future Assuming we are getting an actor like Tom Hardy and a style like the early Connery/most of the Craig and Dalton films fun but fleming in style

    The Property of A Lady works for me as a nod to the bond of the 60's

    if we are going for a darker film with say a Fassbender.. Death to Spies
    if we are getting a Hemsworth fun action movie Death Comes for Us All

    But honestly my favorite unused title is The Hildebrand rarity but I always wanted Craig to have that title...
