None of these really sound like a roleplay title, more like words used within said roleplay. I suppose Eldur Thordius sounds most title like but it tells basically nothing about the game.

Good luck!

Er, I'm pretty sure that's a list of prospective character names, not titles for a roleplay.

Anyway, with nothing to go on about what this character or whatever is about, there's no way to give a good answer. I'll just go ahead and say use Daeron, because that's the name of an interesting historical figure in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire, and since I've got nothing else to go on I may as well suggest the name that actually holds some meaning for me.

Pretty much what Jorick said, no further context on what to base choosing a name from and if we're just going with which name we liked the most for whatever reason, I'll just throw a dice for it.

How to construct an RP title.

[Basic]

[Type] [carryover] [Title]

Types: The general archetype of the plot or story. Most are interchangeable with one another: Adventure, chronicles, legend, etc. Some are more specific, like Episodes, that implicate multiple parts.

Carryover: Tying the type to the title: Or, And, Of, etc.

Title: The "original" title. Ones that come from my catalog: Mage's Quest, Renalta, IEF Venture/Kyushu, Fleet Command, Thirteen Colonies, etc.

Examples
Legend of Renalta
The Mage's Quest: Chronicles
The Adventures of Xudoran (Presuming Xudoran is a character example)

[Advanced]

#1: Always tie the title to the story. Legend of Renalta for example refers to the literal "Legend of Renalta" within the universe. A Legend about a kingdom named Renalta.

#2: You can subvert formula to remove redundancy. ex: The Mage's Quest. No type present, but none needed.

#3: Never name your story after something that isn't present in the story. This is a blatant lie and your players will sniff you out like a bloodhound on it. It just looks bad on you.

Have fun!

Durr.

Anyway, when in doubt, just name yourself John. John always works. Or Jane.
