I know for a fact that THQ considered the title "Grand Theft Human." It's possible that the developer wasn't even aware of that though. Publishers and developers don't always share every idea they have, especially ones that go nowhere as the GTH name did. Very interesting about the UFO name, Spraynwipe.

The code name at the start of development was "UFO", but very quickly became "Destroy All Humans!" after lead designer (and now internet dancing sensation) Matt Harding and project lead Andy Payne came up with it after work one night. You can see this too in the "History of" movie, included with the disc. I think the only reference to "Grand Theft Human" was a comparison made by GameInformer, which also explains why GameInformer have never titled or released a moderately successful and partially flawed game about aliens recently.
