I've come up with a good title for my story, but it would also work really well as the title for the first chapter. However, I wonder whether it's at all advisable to do that. Do other stories do that?

For what it matters, the title has a slightly different meaning for the first chapter vs. the story as a whole.

Would the answer be any different if it were the last, or any other chapter?
