You can do just that. Just accept the title in a CharField, without a choices= option, and then create the Title based on that, then creating the category to refer to it. The code would look something like this:

t = Title(title=form.cleaned_data['title'])
t.save()
# This creates the primary key for the new Title object

c = Category(title=t)
c.save()

You can add appropriate checks if the title and category already exist, to handle those the way you wan tto.
