An amusing, errr interesting, list of Honorifics

Need a list of the possible honorifics for your database?  All the possible combinations of Mr/Mrs/Ms/Dr/etc? See Harrods.com Account Registration and click on the Title combo box.

I'd never heard of Begum before.  Where is Adm and R. Adm? 

And what happens if you're a doctor and something else?   Nah, lets not go there.

Holy doodle, no kidding!  I especially liked Wing Commander.  :D

Fahim informs me that Begum is Indian/South Asian and basically means Lady.  Sort of.  Honoured Lady.  Somewhere between Lady and Mrs.  If that's not vague enough.  :)
