As the other answers have stated, I don't believe re-using the story's name for the first chapter is a particularly good idea, especially if it means something different later on in your story. However...

Would the answer be any different if it were the last, or any other chapter?

Yes.

It's not unknown for anime to name their final episode after the series itself. The example I know of off the top of my head is Vividred Operation - the final episode is also named "Vividred Operation". This works because, at the climax,

Akane and Rei fuse in order to fight the main villain, and become the titular Vividred.

So you could re-use the story title for your last chapter, but in order to pull that off, your last chapter would need to explain the title to some extent.
