I often hesitate on a title at the start because the end result can turn out to be different from what I intended. I suppose a more professional way to write would be to outline my idea and then stick to the outline. But my writing tends to be spontaneous. I'm thinking through the idea as I'm writing. I often edit to make the writing flow better. But it's only then that I am able to come up with a title.

Similar to what you wrote, I hesitate to answer when people ask what I do. I feel like a title doesn't match the content of my life.
