Well I'm more or less the opposite approach - I'm from a Quaker family and obviously honorifics are very strongly discouraged. And in truth I really don't see what value they add as a passenger. I'm still not able to bring myself to use the honorific Mx but I did try to wind up BA in the early days of BAEC, when it was more rudimentary computing (which tended to work). There was a box for "Other" if you couldn't use Bishop or Viscount (etc), so I wrote in Comrade. So for years my posted BAEC statements arrived as Comrade corporate-wage-slave. One year I had cause to enter into written correspondence with BAEC and I was terribly impressed that someone in BAEC correctly wrote to me using the honorific Cde.
