If this story is to take place after Hive Queen and Hegemon is written, then Ender will have...
-gained a wealth of wisdom and knowledge about people and governance through running a colony.
-gained a sense of peace with his role in the war and with his ability to develop a truthful and balance account of the war through the perspective of its participants.
- and possibly gained famed from some wealth for writing Hive Queen and Hegemon

If it's revovling around the woman and her child, then I think, as Brettly said, "The (insert word) of Ender" would work well.
However, if it revolves around Ender (and Valentine) more, then it should be "Ender's (insert word)" I don't know, it just seems fitting IMO.
Maybe it doesn't have to have "Ender" in the title. Maybe it could be something like "The Wiggin Legacy", since Ender and Valentine are being so influental at this point in time, whatnot with Hive Queen and Hegemon being written in that era. Also, if Ender has any influence on this person and her child, then "Legacy" would make sense.
That's my .02

If it focuses on Ender's relationship with the child, why not "Ender's Legacy"?
Or...
Ender: A New Hope Ender Strikes Back Return of Ender (copywright infringement? what's that?)
or how 'bout this: Ender: Wiggin' Out!
And I liked Enderpoxy. If Enderpoxy isn't picked up for a title, a superglue should be given the name. I'd buy it!

Or if you wanted the marketing possibilities...
Ender's Waterpark! Six Flags over Ender Ender's (Football) Game Ender's (Baseball) Game *insert appropriate sports as necessary* Ender's World, with reality TV show soon to follow
Ok, I'm done. There are too many posts already to think up a creative title that probably hasn't been taken. The only thing I can think of wouldn't even have 'Ender' in the title, thus defeating the purpose.
Andrew's Game
Get it? Because 'Ender' is turning into a bad name, and he's going by Andrew now, but he's still gotta face off against this new punk who's smarter than him. Just a thought.

Wholly cow… this thread is still going with names? Goodness…. We’ll still be talking about it when the book comes out and the cows come home!

My first thought was "Journeyman Ender" but I slapped myself silly before taking it seriously.
Maybe we'll all just have to wait until it's written before a good title manifests itself!

I have to say that I certainly picked the best thread to read for my first visit to the site. I laughed so hard at some of these I thought I was gonna cry.
Thank you, my new friends, for giving me something to smile about. I can tell I'm going to like it here.
And what could I possibly say to OSC except: Write ON! And thank you for giving us Ender & the gang.

Seriously, some of the titles were badly picked.
When I saw the words Speaker of the Dead, I didn't want to read it. I didn't think it would have anything about Ender but that it would be literaly just the Hive Queen and Hedgemon. Thank goodness I read the back.
But Speaker of the Dead? Such a dronish title. No wonder no bought it. Nothing about the dead is really attractive. The book I have doesn't have an attractive cover either O.o.
I recognize great talent when I see it. Card has it. He just needs to make his books simpler, think about the audiance, and get a much better illustrator........seriously.

I think it's great that there will be another ender book. and that he will be younger. i always felt at a loss that i had no idea what he was like before Speaker for the dead. so this makes me happy.
and for some reason, while reading all these, all i could hear was:
Ender Wiggin was a bullfrog...
further proof that my brain twists everything into a song lyric.

Personally my favorite was Ender's Heart, but that doesn't seem to be mentioned very much any more. Is seems to me like everyone is taking for granted that Achilles 2 will believe Randi in her story. But if he's as smart as Bean won't he see right through it at a young age? Bean realized what was really happening even though every one in authority(and every one else for that matter) was telling him otherwise. Seems to me like the Beanlet would figure it out very easily.

Thank you Mr. Card for providing me a quick answer to the question that had been nagging me since I finished Shadow of the Giant yesterday regarding "Randi" and the 9th "embryo".
I have had the book since its publication but put off reading it for months because I could not face Bean dying. (side note: Lost Boys left me an emotional wreck several years ago and is the only book I cannot read again) Thus, the ending of SoftG was quite a nice gift.
Thank you again Mr. Card for giving us all these wonderful books,

OSC mentioned that "Ender In Exile" was a working title here
Do you have more current information? What is your source?
It seems very illogical to change it this late in the production. I've heard that he's talked about it at almost all of his book signing by said name, and if he changed the name this close to publishing (right, OSC!? ) would be confusing to many.
