Who was that that just changed the name? Also I'd like thoughts on whether this name is good.

'Wavering' is more appropriate i think,its more mysterious than 'Trembling'. :)

well it still means the same thing, burt it does have a slightly different feeling to the title.

trembling, gave me a mental image of a slightly frightened haruhi, but this new word, gives the impression of a strong and confident haruhi, who's now having a little trouble, and dropping the armour she has.

kinda fitting to be honest.

We could always go with the "official" Kadokawa Anglicization, which is "Disturbance." There are official Anglicizations of all of the first 8 volumes, as shown on these Japanese bookmarks. (Thanks go to the Wikipedia page.)

1. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
2. The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya
3. The Boredom of Haruhi Suzumiya
4. The Vanishment of Haruhi Suzumiya
5. The Rashness of Haruhi Suzumiya
6. The Disturbance of Haruhi Suzumiya
7. The Scheme of Haruhi Suzumiya
8. The Anger of Haruhi Suzumiya

Of course, these were made up by people for whom English isn't their first language, so some of them are pretty clunky ("Vanishment"?).

Wow. What horrible choices.

Vanishment, while not technically incorrect, sounds bad. Really, really bad.

And Rashness? Terrible. If the books ever get translated officially(some time long from now), they'd better come up with something better than those.
