There's a stack of them in the designer's notes. Um.

The names: 
JT: "One thing we weren't sure of was the game's name. We had rejected The 
New Inquisition as being too focused
        on one group. Our first choice was Smoke & Mirrors, which we were 
especially fond of because its initials
        would have been S&M. But author Neil Gaiman was releasing a 
short-story anthology around that time by the
        same title, and we opted not to use it. With that one knocked out, we 
spent weeks sending emails back and
        forth, looking for a solution. Other rejected titles included: The 
Mystic Edge, Schools of Madness, Dead End
        Club, Lies, Bitter Business, Causeways of Night, Ascension, Avatar, 
Occultic, Day For Night, 333, Cycle, Karmix,
        Cat's Paw, Twilight Lives, It's Forbidden, Relentless, Suspicion, 
Desperation, Godwalker, Clash By Night, Burnt
        Offerings, Troubled Spirits, Mad and Savage Masters, Litany of Lies, 
Verboten, Forbidden, Forbidden Armies,
        Forbidden Practices, Forbidden Lives, Sacred Nightmare, The Sleep of 
Reason, Under Reality, The Unseen
        World, Forbidden Self, Unseen, Zeitgeist, Freakshow . . . and those 
were just the ones Greg and I dreamed up.
        Other suggestions came from Lisa Manns, Ken Hite, and Tim Dedopulos. "
