Why was the film named after Dr. Strangelove?

I've always wondered the same. I would have named the film Major T. J. "King" Kong. Has a nicer ring about it. Plus Major Kong was the real hero of the film. The Air Force's answer to Audie Murphy.

He killed sixteen Czechoslovakians. Guy was an interior decorator.

Gelebt haben. Zu sterben, um wieder zu leben.

Because he was the one who really won in the end. With Western liberalism and Soviet communism about to be wiped out by the Doomsday machine, Strangelove, using his influence with the US president, finally got to build the ideal Nazi society he wanted, choosing who lives and who dies, weeding out the "undesirables" and selecting only the "ideal" people who get to survive and reproduce. Notice how Strangelove has more and more difficulty suppressing his Nazi tendencies as the movie goes on, until at the end he's able to stand again and announce "Mein Führer, I can walk!", symbolizing the rebirth of Nazism.

"strangelove" probably ties in with the sexual undertones of the movie, and also could be a kind of statement about mankind's almost erotic fixation with warfare and violence - a "strange love", a bit like Humbert's for Lolita.
