Salutation List Reference

Reference list for Salutations (English)

Prefixes, salutations or honorifics, such as "Dear Rt Hon Mr." John Q. Smith,

I had a request to parse prefix Salutations from a database of names and had troubles finding a comprehensive list.   Below is that list, along with links on how I did the parsing.

Shorter, common salutations are punctuated with and without periods while longer ones, by convention, are listed without punctuation (e.g. Rt Hon Mr  vs  Rt. Hon. Mr.). The referenced parsing routines use this list and the logic is easily changed for additional entries.

Leave an un-registered comment if you have additional salutations.  I purposely dropped the Pope and the Queen, figuring we would never need to write to them using a database and mail-merge.
