Quote - Oh yeah, I'm a big Iain [M.] Banks fan too... and really like his titles... I reckon he strikes the right balance with them... between being concise and catchy and a literal label or description of the content... but also a bit surreal, quirky, or whatever... to pique interest, inspire curiosity as to the underlying meaning of the title.

 

The names of his ships in his "Culture" series are even better.

And to the OP: The Skids were brilliant!
