9A title that just consists of saying the same word twice.
10
11It's one way to title your story. It could sometimes be laziness, or perhaps two words together in a single title makes it sound more mysterious. It could also mean there are two of that specific word in the story, which could be plot-significant. It may also bring a well-known phrase to mind (eg. "Win-win" or "Liar, liar, pants on fire"). In more fantastic works, it could also have some spell-like connotations (eg. [[Theatre/{{Macbeth}} "Double double, toil and trouble"]], [[Literature/SnowWhite "Mirror, mirror, on the wall"]]).
12
13Note that this trope allows for more than one repetition, e.g. "Triple, Triple, Triple" titles. Titles with multiple repeated words, like ''Film/KissKissBangBang'', also count. However, every word must be repeated, so ''VideoGame/DokiDokiPanic'' doesn't count.
14
15Compare RepetitiveName. Also, these kinds of titles are {{Alliterative Title}}s by default. [[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant Has nothing to do with]] getting double-digit stats in multiple stat categories in a basketball game.
