Or is it "Mr.", "Mrs.", "Dr." or "Prof." or "Ph.D." or "Hr.", "Fr.", ... there a loads of them, not just the English ones and is there a dot or a comma separating it from the name? I am not sure if there is a standard format Dr. Leo Sdl Dr., Leo Sdl But I just tested it an in fact title (at least English ones) are already handled, well they are simply striped, so no name miss match should occur. See `mail-extr-full-name-prefixes' to configure this.

Do you think the field name should be > `title'? I was thinking it might be confusing with "job title"? Well, as Waider pointed out this probably should be configurable and so I will add another screw to BBDB. I am not sure about the English terms, but in .DE the "job title" is the position and a title is something you usually keep regardless of the job you are occupying.
