What is a suitable alternate title for "The Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry?

The story is about Jim and Della, so a possible title could be "Jim and Della." That's not that terrible of a title. I can think of several other stories that are titled after characters in the story. Thelma and Louise, Rocky Balboa, Bonnie and Clyde, and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid are all titles that feature character names only.  


You could base the title on the theme of selfless love. "A True Gift of Love" or "Selfless Love" could both work.  


You could even borrow Haddaway's "What is Love?" song title for the story. Of course, you would then get a really catchy song stuck in your head every time that you think of Jim and Della.
