Most of these are a joke, I dont want money anyway, its all about that name crafting experience

-I dont have magic but I enter a magic school anyway
-I discovered that I dont have magic but my school doesnt know that yet
-Magic! Guns! Boobs?! I entered a school that turned out to be a Battlefield!
-They say human boys/girls are too basic. Thats why I entered a school filled with non-humans but immediately regretted my decision.
-Theres no way my bills was too damn high! So I traveled overseas and posed as a transfer student at a school I may/may not have skipped the finer details which turned out to be a school for magic
-They say getting a job is harder nowadays....So I tacked on fake elf ears and posed as a questionable defenseless trap that specialized in magic engineering theory
-I was reborn as a completely normal human being in a fantasy world without humans. (OOO this one could be interesting, especially if u had non-human parents)
-I was working as a pizza delivery boy/girl but did not get none of that saucy action so I traveled into the next dimension and applied to a non-human school to get some of that spice yo.
-I officially turned 30 and became a wizard so I decided to become a professor at a magic school with clearly legitimate experience. (Another good one)

Did you miss the "3-6 words please". The OP wants short names and yours are, well... not.
I guess you did say they're mostly a joke.

I do like the last one though, however, you're not grand mage yet, you're only arch mage.

Oh I guess I got too carried away recalling all those long titles I see. Though some are great ideas for the plucking for a chuckle or two. And yeah I guess he does have to reach the higher tiers to become the greatest wizard, if hes old enough, he might even get a assistant.

It's not that I dislike long names, it's just that they're impractical.
You hit maximum character limits on sites like Itch and Steam, it needs to be shortened for desktop icons, players don't remember the full name, you need to constantly abbreviate it, etc.

At any rate, there have been a lot of creative names here. Thank you all for your suggestions so far.

I have nothing to offer as I've never been good with titles, but I just had to stop by to say that I love this thread, and everyone's creativity. :)

Someone suggested Sable's Grimoire and I just wanted to mention that I really like that. It's short and to the point, sounds pretty, and should be pretty easy to search for.

As for my own suggestions, going on the ivy theme I'd give Poison Ivy League for the game, and Demimonde for the school itself.

Still a few more hours left. At the moment I'm leaning towards

Academy name: Amadronia (Lucky1443)
Game title: Sable's Grimoire (Sleepy)

I'd probably tack on something to the end of the title though, in order to grab attention, with Sable's Grimoire being the short form.
eg. Sable's Grimoire: The study of monster girls
Difficult to work "monster girls" into the title without it sounding like a blatant eroge though :lol:

I went with the names above.
Payment has been sent to Lucky1443 and Sleepy, and this thread is now closed.

Thank you all for your suggestions. I'll likely do this again in the future :)
