I found something like this will do the trick most of the time:
twoway (scatter y x, sort), ytitle("Y" " ") xtitle("X" " ")
This adds a blank line below the axis title.
Sometimes rotating the axis labels also helps:
twoway (scatter y x, sort), ytitle("Y" " ") xtitle("X" " ") ylabel(, angle(horizontal))
In general, casual empiricism tell me that adding a blank line will work
with any type of title.
