Photography is an art form, and as no one can tell you how to make art, so no one can tell you how to title it. How you title a photograph depends completely on the purpose of the photograph. A photo's purpose can be for visibility, news, artistic or personal pleasure. You have to decide what your photos aim to achieve first before titling. Once you know the direction of the photo, the title falls into place.

Identify the objective. Depending on what type or what purpose the photograph serves, how you title it will depend. There are three possible ways to title a photograph based on its objective, which can either be for exposure (being found in search engines through key words), descriptiveness (what is in the photograph exactly) or abstract (what ideas or feelings you want the photo to evoke). Which objective you're after will dictate the title of the photo completely.

Title the photograph for exposure. If your objective is to obtain an audience or as many viewers of your photo as possible, then you will need to include a variety of descriptive key words in your title. Objective titles are used for photos posted in blogs, on photo hosting sites such as Flickr, Photobucket, ImageShack or Picasso Web Albums, or stock photos. Titles should be specific and list exactly what's in the photo as well as what it generically represents. A photo of the Brooklyn Bridge could be titled Brooklyn Bridge at Night, or Bridges, Brooklyn, New York, or Brooklyn Bridge, NY. Try to fit as many individual descriptive words as possible without being obnoxious. The more keywords, the better chance a search engine has for picking it up.
3Title the photograph for descriptiveness. The majority of photos that require descriptiveness are those in nature, architecture, news and event photography. A descriptive photo sticks exactly to what is in the photograph. Unlike an exposure title (step 2), a descriptive title aims at being minimalistic. Brooklyn Bridge, Atlantic Cod Fish, "Boy Eating Ice Cream" or Wrigley Field, Chicago. Simple, to-the-point titles usually help not to distract the viewer away from the photograph.
4Title the photograph for an abstract artistic objective. Non-descriptive photograph titles can virtually be anything that comes to your mind; whether it is a profound statement or something merely to get the audience questioning, the title is up to you completely as the artist. Abstract titles do not need to have the actual name of the subject in it, rather than Brooklyn Bridge, an abstract title would be The Evening Crossing or Walking on Water. Abstract titles can also play on words; a photograph of a tree in the garden of Versailles can be titled Marie's Garden (Marie Antoinette), a photo of gelato in Rome can be titled Italian Flavor, a photo of a cup of tea can be titled "The British are Coming" or an autumnal farm harvest can be titled The Bounty. The limit is your creativity.
