i have been trying titles for me novel but nothing seem to suit the novel at all what are good titles
One that is short and relates to the story obliquely, while also creating curiosity as to the meaning. When you finish the book the title will often jump out and smack you in the face.
This. Are you looking for helpful ways to create titles or are you looking for a specific title for your work? We would need some info about your work to create titles for it
War and Peace is good. So is Pride and Prejudice. (Don't use them; they're already taken.) Logic would therefore suggest that any title of the form [NOUN] and [ANOTHER NOUN] would be good. This is, surprisingly, not true. Cars and Trucks is pretty boring. Guitars and Centipedes would have limited appeal. Measles and Transistors? Succotash and Blimps? Your call. Seriously, we can't help you unless you tell us what your book is about.
To provide a title for a specific book one really needs to read it. It is possible to do a title from a shorter summary or synopsis but it may not be as good. Gone With the Wind had a different title at the start and the author initially had another one until the publisher changed it. I took the OP as a question about HOW to create a good title not asking us to provide a title.
I am Book! War & Pie Dragon, Knight, Princess There is a Hooker in the Cake Read Me, Love Me VCR Compatible Word Orgy: 80,000 Steamy Words Don't Lick Me Hey You! Buy Me! When Head Met Desk Classified: Read it and Die IDK, you have given us nothing to work with. So do try to fill in the gaping hole you have left vacant, so we may be of much better use in helping you answer your inquiry.
One-word titles are ALL the rage these days. Also, especially in fantasy, combining two words is also popular. Take the Kingfountain series. Kingfountain. Or the working title for my series, the Swordquest series. So sum up your story based on that. You could name it after a character (for example, Lord of the Rings is named after the villain Sauron) or an important artifact or location (Kingfountain) or give a title to the event (The Clone Wars). That's my two cents.
What genre are you writing? That can definitely help with our suggestions lol. The sort of title you are looking for needs to feed curiosity. It doesn't necessarily have to be simple either. One good example I could think of would be: Let the Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist
Or you can call the fire department in your area and ask what temperature paper burns at. That'll sell.
Haven't you heard? You are required to call your book "The _______'s Daughter." Many of the good ones are taken, but you still have options. Just think of a career (Moonshiner, Pork Rind Expert, Proctologist). Now add Daughter.

Just use a placeholder title like "The book that's going to be bigger than Harry Potter" until you've written the story, then maybe something will jump out of the text
An additional consideration for a title, if the first novel is potential part of a series, is to make sure it's flexible, so that the second and third future novels in the series are in some way connected. It's a sort of branding. But as has been mentioned above, use a working title and work on the novel. Likely, something will stride you along the way. If not, your bet a readers and publisher will be in a position to assist. If you self-publish, possibly your editor or beta readers.
The OP didn't use a question mark. Perhaps he was making a statement. I concur. What is a very intriguing title.
