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 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.

What titles should be used? Just about everyone could have one: "Sir", "Dr", "Master", "Housewife"...
