My experience has been that Marketing will tell you what they want the title to be. You will have limited veto power. (I nixed using the Kushiel's X model, and they were okay with that--Mélusine's Savage Secrets anyone?) And then they will change it again. Smile and nod. (I'm actually not bitter, because I suck at titles and I know I suck at titles, but none of the four Doctrine books has a title that I would have chosen for it.)
Of course, Tor didn't fuss about the wolf book title, and maybe Orbit has a different approach than Ace.
