When writing a name as "last name, first name", where do you put the title, "Dr."?

Tip for best answer: M$2.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

If you trust the NY Times obituaries, then you can write it as "Last name, Dr. First name"

FYI If you're filling out a form it may have a separate location for title. If you're citing a source, then you don't need a title.

Depends on what you are putting it on. Can you give more of an explanation?

If you're writing your name that way, then I don't know why you would include the Dr..

I see it the same way as the "faux pas" that I see doctors write with "Dr." AND all their degrees/letters. It's one or the other, not both.

Dr. Matt Gomes, BS, MA, MA, PhD, MFT (gross, eh?)

Are you really a Dr.? Just curious, because I'm a nurse and I know that you are kind of supposed to list all of your "letters" so people know what you're qualified to do! :D

@drmatt That was my thinking to. I thought, however, that one of the styles of citing sources required you to put the degree on the bibliography. However, I don't recall which at the moment.

I don't know about "supposed to". I've never heard of a law of that nature. Trouble is... noone knows what those letters mean, so they won't know what you're "qualified" to do.

Yes... I have a doctorate... But I'm not a medical doctor (MD). Those letters are for real and hard earned...
