I am totally stumped. Help me title this.
1. Manga often have titles with no apparent relevance to the subject except that they sound cool, ie, Bleach, Hot Gimmick, Paradise Kiss.
2. Themes and/or motifs: the prince and the country boy, heat and cold, tropics and mountaintops, martial arts, grappling, fighting, sparring, close vs. long range techniques, sweat, weapons and bare hands, body heat, nature and civilization, wolves, journeys, home, fear, power, control, family, passion, love, touch.
3. Words that I wrote out to see if I could combine them: Fire, frost, ice, snow, canal, wolf/wolves, cold, heat, hot, summit, clous, mountain, steel, stone, hands, sword, melt, close, peak, far, near, sky, fall. If you see any good combinations or related words that might make a good title...

Uh, please don't quote that first sentence out of context.
What are the main characters names? Using one or both of the romantic leads is often nice.
There's always Planetbusters.

I like "Cloud Hands." I think it's a taiji move, but regardless, it just seems more evocative. :) The others don't provoke much response from me.

Clouds hands gets extra points from me because it's a defensive move in tai chi.

"The "knik" wind is also called: matanuska, pruga, stikine, takn, take, turnagain, williwaw. This wind develops because of cold air moving down high mountanious areas. They can blow over 110 kph (70mph). They occur all over the world, such as the region Patagonia, off the coast of Tierra del Fuego right down to the Falkland Islands. They are also called Alaskan wind, since they also occur in the vicinity of Palmer, Alaska, where they are most frequent in the winter."
Out of all that, I like "Turnagain." Because I just do.
The karaburan blows through central Asia. It is a hot, dusty wind, which develops because of the warming of winds blowing down the lee side of a mountain ( a bit north of our location, though)
The buran and burga are names of winds that in Texas are known as a blue norther and in the snow-bearing areas of the States as a blizzard.
Sky Sweeper - This wind blows on the Spanish Island of Majorca. When there is a northwest wind to the island, it has to go up the mountains. There it will loose all of its moisture. The dry air goes down the mountain, and speeds up. This causes compression, what causes a rise in temperature. Now a warm and dry wind is blowing from the northeast over the island.
I need to stop this: I've got to get more work done and I've got about 45 minutes left to do it.

How about naming the series after the place it's supposed to be happening? Like, the name of the village or whatever? That'll give it an "exotic" (...oh, there's that word I usually hate so much) and still be very relevent, since this is the place that's drawn them together and that people travel for and wide to get to.
...Or just call it "Gatma." (Hint: GAy Tibetan Marial Artists)

"Cloud Hands" and "Silk Reel" are both martial arts techniques, by the way.
