Is there support for including an author's title in citations, i.e. their military rank or other title?

Examples include:

(Blackadder 1917) in-text and Blackadder, Captain E. (1917) in the bibliography. (Blackadder 1648) in -text and Blackadder, Sir E. (1648) in the bibliography.

The problem I currently have is that completing the Author field in Bibtex as Sir Edmund Blackadder results in:

Blackadder, S. E. (1648) in the biblio.

I'm using BibDesk 1.6.2

Edit: Request for MWE.

Not sure how to, as it's Bibtex, but just insert this into the Author field:

{Sir} Edmund Blackadder

Or any positioning of the braces. BibDesk gives previews that are replicated in my real file.

What about enclosing the title in {}? – Guido Jun 22 '14 at 08:53
It still reverts to Blackadder, S.E. – Pwdr Jun 22 '14 at 08:56
Please add a minimal working example. – Marco Daniel Jun 22 '14 at 09:07

Are you sure you must include the title in the bibliography? – egreg Jun 22 '14 at 09:33
I'm not absolute sure it's a 100% requirement, but it's conventional to use where they're present. I have seen examples in journal articles as well so thought it might be possible. – Pwdr Jun 22 '14 at 09:42

Have you checked out the posting BibTeX: where to write Sir in author's name? I think you should be in business if you write author = "{\relax Sir E}dmumd Blackadder", and author = "{\relax Captain E}dward Blackadder",, respectively. – Mico Jun 22 '14 at 10:32
That's it! Perfect. – Pwdr Jun 22 '14 at 10:36
Since the earlier posting and the associated answers appear to address the subject of your new posting, I'm going to propose to close your new posting as a duplicate. – Mico Jun 22 '14 at 10:48
Good idea, I agree. Don't think I can close it, though. – Pwdr Jun 22 '14 at 11:00
