* ''[[Torchwood: Miracle Day]]'' was originally going to be named ''The New World'', as evidenced by early promotional materials before changing to ''Miracle Day''. However, the first episode keeps the original name and one character name-drops it in the season finale.
* Many episodes of ''[[Doctor Who]]'' were filmed under a different name to the one they were broadcast under. ''[[Doctor Who/Recap/S14/E03 The Deadly Assassin|The Deadly Assassin]]'' was originally "The Dangerous Assassin", until Robert Holmes decided it didn't "sound right". ''[[Doctor Who/Recap/S8/E03 The Claws of Axos|The Claws of Axos]]'' was known as ''The Vampire from Space'' right up until transmission, with the first episode being listed in the ''[[Radio Times]]'' under that title. And [[Doctor Who/Recap/S4/E06 The Moonbase|three]] [[Doctor Who/Recap/S6/E03 The Invasion|seperate]] [[Doctor Who/Recap/S12/E05 Revenge of the Cybermen|stories]] were originally known as ''Return of the Cybermen'', with at least one being changed so the Cybermen would be a surprise.
** In his ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' column for March 2011, [[Steven Moffat]] announced what some of the upcoming episodes ''wouldn't'' be called: The first episode of the new season ''wouldn't'' be "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S32/E01 The Impossible Astronaut|Year of the Moon]]" ("I really like that title, but absolutely nobody else does in the whole wide world"), the second ''wouldn't'' be "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S32/E02 Day of the Moon|Look Behind You!]]", and the mid-season finale either wouldn't be "His Darkest Hour" or it wouldn't be "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S32/E07 A Good Man Goes to War|A Good Man Goes To War]]". [[Doctor Who/Recap/S32/E04 The
* ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' had a number of these including ''Star Trek A New Beginning'', ''Star Trek A New Generation'', ''Star Trek The New Generation'' and ''Star Trek Enterprise 7'' (the latter title is explained by the fact the ship was to be known as the Enterprise 7 rather than the Enterprise D).
* ''[[Degrassi the Next Generation]]'' was originally conceived as ''Ready, Willing and Wired''. When Stephen Stohn suggested the eventual title, apparently Linda Schuyler disliked the sense of rehashing past successes and felt the ''Trek'' reference sounded forced at first. But, since name recognition both in the U.S. and abroad is always an uphill battle for a [[Canadian Series]], tying it in with the [[Degrassi Junior High|still-popular]] [[Degrassi High|previous efforts]] made good business sense.
