>Only slightly apropos is the reverse shift of "Reverend". Back in the early Neolithic I learned that "Reverend" was not a title on the order
of "Mr." or "Doctor" or "Professor", but an adjective like "Honorable",
so that the proper way to use it was "the Rev. Jane Smith" (okay, I'm
retrojecting a little there) or "the Rev. Dr./Mrs./Ms. Smith". "Rev.
Smith" was being specifically ruled out, but it's common today
My minister calls herself "Rev. Valerie" (that's her first name).
