Other people are defending their titles, so I'm going to pitch Ender's Wake.
I haven't read Invesment Counselor, so I could be completely off, but I figure that this book is going to be where Ender sort of disappears. Definitely, Ender The Savior of Humanity myth is dying. So wake, as in waking a dead person, discusssing their life and putting them to rest.
But, while Ender is metaphorically dying, Andrew is coming to life. In time, the seeds of this awakening are going to lead to him becoming Andrew Wiggin, Speaker for the Dead.
Wake also means aftermath. This book is taking place in the aftermath of both the Xenocide and the writing of the Hive Queen and the Hegemon, as well as in the wake of Ender's personal experiences.
All of these things were bold excursions that are spreading ripples of effect, in much the same way that a boat's passage leaves a wake of disturbed water.
Which also can be used in the sense of a path that is followed. The Bean Sprout is likely to become smart enough to see through Randi's stories of Achilles and, if still inclined to dominance and destruction, take up the successful Ender as a much better model than his failure of a putative father.
Plus, there's the resonance with Finnegean's Wake. One of the central references of FW is that of Finn, the Irish hero deity that saved the world and now sleeps beside a river in the fairy world, to awaken and return when he is again needed. Ender has always struck me as being this sort of once and future king character. He saves the world and then everyone thinks he dies, but he returns when humanity is again in great crisis to pretty much save the day. FW is also a book about dreams and about familial, especially father/son, relationships, which are also likely to be themes in this book.
Plus, when I heard about this book, I pretty quickly thought that the world being an Irish/Gaelic one where there was a lot of boating would be a great backdrop, so the name fits so well to that concept as well. Probably just my own view though.
---
On another note, I think it would interesting if Ender runs into one of the failed Ender candidates. One of the kids who were being tried out for the top spot before Ender but didn't measure up and/or cracked under the pressure. It might just be me, but I'd be much more interested in that interaction than between Ender and one of his jeeshmates.

Yet strangely enough, he uses the term "buggers" throughout Shadow of the Giant. I don't recall the word "formics" being used once in that book.

Compiled list of suggestions so far. (This is up to the beginning of this post or so. This has been mind numbing. The formatting admittedly sucks. Note that all complaints include the implicit agreement to pay me some obscene amount of money. If I left out some terribly witty title you made up, it is only because I hate you -- so don't take it personally. The list is basically in chronological order of who posted, with each poster's suggestions being listed in the order that they were submitted. Duplicates have been screened as best as I could see them.)

Ender Strikes Back? Or simply, Ender's Colony? I think perhaps the venerable Mr. Card will need to work out some of the plot before naming this one. It's hard to know what the concepts and theme referenced in the title should be until the concepts and themes of the book are determined.
As Ender's ship is long gone, we know this will be set on a colony that he travels to after leaving his first colony, so it would seem quite likely that a Battle School graduate would be heading the colony, as there were enough of them Graf was sending out and only three or four ships had been built by the time they all started leaving their roles on Earth.
The trick is, whoever it is, and whatever happens in this book, Ender's interactions with this person would need to result in Ender being who he is in the short story where he finds Jane, as well as the next several books.
As such, it seems to me it can't be someone he would be truly close to (unless he hides his identity from them) because the addition of one of these people would give him a friend besides Val who would understand him and care for him for who he was, and I don't see him having had that outside of Val and Jane in the later books. I seem to recall references to the fact that he never sees his Jeesh members again, so that might be a contradiction, though I've not read those particular books in some time and I might be imagining that.
My rational thought is that the colony leader should perhaps be a Battle Schooler who barely knew Ender, not someone from his Jeesh. (Suri didn't know him well, did he?)
My emotional thought is that I want it to be Dink, but that's just because he's the character I always most closely associated with. Posts: 6 | Registered: Mar 2005

Maybe it's just me, but has anyone thought of just... "Ender"?
After all, this would theoretically be a novel that, for the first time, is entirely about Ender the person, not ender the warrior. Since there won't be any more discoveries of aliens (ramen??) until the later books, it's pretty safe to say that the storyline of the new novel won't be centered around Ender's conquest, battle plans or leading any armies anytime soon. Plus, we know that Ender hid who he was for many years, so he's going to want to fade away from the public eye and his position in the first colony on the Bugger world. And most likely the book will end with Ender beginning the series of lightspeed jumps that will keep him alive for a few thousand years. Hence, the main point of the novel (aside, of course, from the child and other actions of course, will be Ender's suffering with what he's done, anger over having been, for lack of a better term, played.
And there will also be the beginning of the downfall of Ender's reputation. His move from hero of the human race to a tragic mistake that everyone regrets.
So, in other words... "Ender"
And I'm sure there's no shortage of people who can compare this to the Bible...Jesus jumps from 13 to 30 in a few pages...Ender does the same. Now, in case OSC wants to change the rules (and consider this a Shadows novel, there's always "Shadow of the Years". Of course, that doesn't include Ender in it, but hey, you never know.
Another good option without Ender's name in it would be "Andrew" (see the double entendre in THAT one?)
Other options...
Ender's Choice Ender's Journey Ender's Heart (since Valentine's in it)
And the fun ones...
Since the boys over in marketing and promotion will love it, how about "Ender's Girls Gone Wild"
Dont' hit me for even thinking this, but "Ender - It's better than Gigli"
And just for the heck of it..."Ender's Guide to the Galaxy"

You could read the thread, which increasingly consists of people repeating the same handful of titles over and over, and find out. Posts: 37449 | Registered: May 1999

Or scroll up a little bit where all of the submissions so far are listed by contributor in something approaching chronological order. "Ender" was submitted by several people.
Suri-cool, obviously I left it out because I hate you , not because LilBee91 had suggested it before.
Just kidding about the hate thing. I'm just brim-full of love and the milk o' human kindness.
edit to add: I think that "Ender's Girls Gone Wild" is on the right track. If the marketing guys are going to force us to pander, then let's just dive in and grab that low denominator.

WntrMute, one of my joke suggestions is a bit off in your list. "Ender a Soldier. Later, Ender Another" is a single suggestion rather than two. Easy mistake to have made if you aren't familiar with the Silverberg novella whose title I'm parodying.
In defense of Descartes, it has become a fashionable stupidity to rake Descartes over the coals, usually for all the wrong reasons.
Oh, wait, wrong Descartes.
No, seriously, in defense of Descartes, I think my mind would go numb if I tried to read this thread from the beginning, or even if I were to read WntrMute's post from its beginning. It'd be pretty easy to miss a particular suggested title, even if it were repeated a few times.

If bean is Ender's shadow and during the last chapter Peter did not want to discuss Beans circumstance to Ender, then Bean should be in the new book. So wouldn't a play on light be a good metaphor for curing bean.

I don't use this word a whole lot, but I think this is the right use:
Ender's Exegesis?
Exegesis is defined on m-w.com as explanation, and with Bean's son being raised as Achilles' successor and Ender the Savior of Mankind becoming Ender the Xenocide, somebody's going to have a lot of some kind of explaining to do.
P.S: A speaker for the dead would do a lot of explaining too.

As a general rule I'd say that you shouldn't use big or uncommon words in the title. There's nothing wrong with them, but from a commercial standpoint words like exegesis can simply be replaced with words most people would understand and so be intruiged into buying the book.

Meshugener: Sorry about unbolding your most excellent suggestion, but it wasn't fair of me to take sides in this if I'm going to start keeping the list. It was unprofessional of me and all that, but I also should have explained that before unbolding.

Someone referenced "ramen" earlier in the thread, and I can't remember if this is right or not. Can someone confirm for me?

How about has anyone thought that because killing the buggers is now being considered a bad thing wouldn't some colonies revolt and kill their jeesh member leaders. if you use that then you won't have to add them into the plot and just mention that the colony revolted and killed their jeesh member.

I know it's supposed to have Ender in it, but I was thinking that it brings the Speaker for the Dead together with his shadow's decendant...I thought, Shadow of the Dead.
