Title quandary

It looks like the responses for my favorite female vampire poll keep coming in--and "Other" is taking a giant lead.

I had an editor suggest changing the title of A Vampire in Suburbia to Suburban Legends. My agent asked me to mull it over before we contact any more publishers, so I'm pondering the name this weekend. There is an Orange County, CA, band with the same name, and since the novel takes place in Orange County, I'm wondering if that would be weird. Perhaps I should make this a poll question next week.

I still like A Vampire in Suburbia and A Vampire in the Suburbs, as well as Suburban Vampire and Suburbia after Dark. What I need is a title that will appeal to both mainstream fiction fans and vampire fans, since there's the whole suburban satire element in addition to my undead character, George. Any opinions, vampire and book fans?
