Donald Wollheim did me a big favor in providing a good title for my first novel. As submitted to Startling Stories I called it “Toynbee 22.” Sam Merwin objected to that, he said nobody would understand it, and he published the story as “Flight into Yesterday.” Several years later Donald brought it out as a paperback as The Paradox Men. Even more incomprehensible, but it turned out to be irresistible, and I've stayed with it for all subsequent editions.
