I use Forgotten Realms - cuts out A LOT of world building work - and just name the Campaign the year it's taking place in, so "1492" in a kinda olde-worlde fonte ;) That way, the players can take anything pre-that as more/less legit History and anything after is up to me. Plus it's a vague enough title where there's a lot of room for maneuver as to story. As opposed to say "Eldritch Horrors of the Fey-Chibi Realm" - which definitely does set a tone and kinda ties you to some points.
So... what do you like, what do you want to write? Who are you going to mercilessly rip off? + there's nothing wrong with that. Do the old fashioned-way and handwite on a big piece of paper, do a spider diagram, doodle on it, have a coffee, leave it until tomorrow and see what hits you when you look at it again?
If it's a "no players" yet title - then it's an advert to attract the kind of players you want.
I once named a year-long campaign simply "Frogs", then for the entire campaign never once had a frog come up. A few toads. A few things that could have been frogs in the right light, https://vlc****/ but never any frogs. By the end they were so paranoid that they just got pissed off when I revealed that it was called frogs because the villain liked to collect them, and stealing one once was how he realised how fun villainy was.
Breathe, dragons; sing of the First World, forged out of chaos and painted with beauty. Sing of Bahamut, the Platinum, molding the shape of the mountains and rivers; Sing too of Chromatic Tiamat, painting all over the infinite canvas. Partnered, they woke in the darkness; partnered, they labored in acts of creation.

Or joking aside, it fully depends on your group and the tone of your game. I don't think such an open ended question has an answer.
I know what you're thinking: "In that flurry of blows, did he use all his ki points, or save one?" Well, are ya feeling lucky, punk?
alr thanks
What's the Setting it's based in? Themes? Module?

Naming is always one of the hardest things, but without information, it's a fruitless exercise in random guessing.
