Hi,

I was wondering if ecclesiastical "Don" (like Reverent) should be in the Prefix Field or in Other Nicknames?

Thanks for helping me out.

I would think it belongs in the Prefix field.

I agree with Deb. It is a title just like Sir, or Lady.  It is just a religious title.

It is definitely a prefix, as is Dom for a Benedictine monk.

Reverend is the title.  Reverent is the action.

And, please, never Reverand.  :(
