I like choosing cool and unusual titles, but I tend to make it more of a priority for more significant stories. For drabbles, I often try to stick with one-word titles. And when I did all those boy-kissing stories a while back, I didn't really stress too much about titles -- they felt kind of casual.
I sometimes look for odd quotes for my titles or try to come up with something descriptive. I often find the title takes the place of the summary for me, like with "Misanthropy, Lycanthropy, And The Pursuit Of Knowledge". Sometimes I'll come up with a good title and then write the fic to match it.
I'm more attracted to fic with an unusual or clever title than something plain or the dreaded "Untitled". It's a hook, just like the first line of the story.
