It is just you.  There have been very famous bands called "The Who", and 
"The Band".  There have been both a movie and a song called "The 
Thing".  "Main" has already appeared in numerous movie titles like "Main 
Street" and "Main Event", and even more often as a word in another 
language.  "Page" has a higher proportion of English names in movies.  
There's "Front Page", "Page 3", "Home Page", "Last Page", "Runt Page", 
"Back Page", "Blank Page", "Blotted Page", "Page Me", "Paging Page Two", 
"Picture Page", "Page Turners",  "Entertainment Page", and of course 
"Betty Page: Bondage Queen" and many others.

Changing the title is one option.  An effective marketting campaign is 
another. :-)
