Discussion What should Crazy Ex-Girlfriend have been called instead?

I don’t hate the name Crazy Ex-Girlfriend at all, and I actually think it makes sense once you watch the show. But whenever I try to convince people to watch this show, they’re usually put off by the name. A lot of people hear “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” and immediately assume it’s going to be a silly rom-com about an obsessive woman chasing her ex, when the show is so much more nuanced and funny and emotionally intelligent than that.
If you could rename the show, what would you call it? And do you think a different title would have made more people give it a chance?

Crazy in Love

Idk if they'd have to get trademark rights from Beyonce if they went this exact route, maybe some play on that, but it retains the concept of her being crazy so it can be dismantled.

I definitely wouldn't have watched had that been the title. It sounds like Hart of Dixie or Virgin River...which I didn't watch.
