Comedy in Naming - opinion?

I am getting really tired of naming things "blah blah blah rules sign", where I put in the exact title of the sign. I decided to have some fun and put in a really good description, but a funny title. A friend thinks I should put in the name of the sign as is because he is afraid my submission will get denied because it has a "funny" title instead of the real name. I wondered what the opinion of reviewers was on this point?

Sometimes the title can be fun. What's you example?

If no ‘official’ title, creative titles to distinguish it from other nearby Wayspots
I have used this to successfully submit punny titles for sportsball fields, wall art (engraving/friezes/etc), and more.
However, I can confirm that
But overall, it’s worth the effort, as the “creative” titles are easier to deal with, both in choosing the correct key in Ingress when making your fielding plan, and when communicating to your Pokémon crew which specific gym you’re all raiding at.
Here it is
I don't know if I represent the norm, but I like the title.
Niantic's official stance on titles is as follows:
Title Guidelines
Do submit titles that are:
-Official titles, if known
-If no 'official' title, creative titles to distinguish it from other nearby Wayspots
Don't submit titles that:
-Include real names, initials, codenames, or faction/team names
-Include emojis or emoticons
-Include HTML, URLs, or other code language
-Are unrelated to the Wayspot in question
I don't know if they're is an "official title" for the breeds of fish plaquard. I wouldn't have added the sesame street referrence in the description, as it's unrelated to the stop.
I'd give that example lower rating. There is an official name for the info board, "Fish in Tempe Town Lake". Also the description is partly off topic.
I quess I'm just not part of the target group as I don't find the title funny. Note, not familiar with the Sesame Street homage/reference.
You all need to search for here fishy fishy fishy and watch the sesame street video - it cracks me up! And children do play this game and they may get the reference. Anyway I changed it back to the boring way.
When I try to be clever with the title, my nominations get rejected. I guess I am not funny.
