See ?paste and the collapse argument, in particular: plot(d, main = paste(paste(colnames(x), collapse = " "), paste(colnames(y), collapse = " "), sep = " - "))
Also your function sets na.method but never uses it and leaves the par settings changed afterwards. See ?par. It could also benefit from the use of ?match.arg Also please include drivers that call the posted function so one can run them in a reproducible manner.
