List Of Post-nominal Letters

Post-nominal letters are letters placed after the name of a person to indicate that the individual holds a position, office, or honour.

An individual may use several different sets of post-nominal letters. Honours are listed first in descending order of precedence, followed by degrees and memberships of learned societies in ascending order.

Some obsolete positions are not listed unless recipients who continue to use the post-nominals even after the order becomes obsolete are still living.

    Lovers, forget your love,
    And list to the love of these,
    She a window flower,
    And he a winter breeze.

    If your letters are as long as the bible, they will appear short to me. Only let them be brim full of affection.
