One-Word Title

    A title of a work that's only one word long.

    Note: Titles that are the name of a character (e.g. Rose; it refers to the character Rose Tyler) don't go here, they go under Character Title. Words comprised of two or more words written as one (e.g. Exo Squad) don't count either.

    Compare to One-Letter Title. Contrast to The Fantastic Trope of Wonderous Titles and Long Title. Verbed Title and Mononymous Biopic Title are subtropes.

    Examples of One-Word Title include:

    Anime & Manga


    Film

    Literature


    Live-Action TV

    Manhwa


    Music

    • Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
    • "One". There's actually more than one "One": there's the Three Dog Night hit, the Metallica song, and a notable (Stephen Sondheim?) Broadway showtune.
    • The master of understatement Miles Davis was particularly partial to these, many of which were songs penned by Wayne Shorter: "Iris", Pangaea, and the classic Workin, Cookin, Walkin, Steamin, and Relaxin' albums.
    • Disturbed is a fan of this trope. Most of their albums contain twelve or so songs, all but one or two of which have a One Word Title.
    • Pearl Jam are prone to this in studio albums (exceptions are No Code, Riot Act and the Self-Titled Album), and were on song titles (which they retracted by writing "Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town.")
    • Brazilian band Skank have 8 studio albums. Only one doesn't fit the trope.
    • Gravity is the title of 19 record albums and 33 songs... that we know about as of July 2019.
