"Hero" for those who have gotten rid of Jack.
"Player" for those who have made sufficient progress in Ambition Enigma.
"Agent(of the masters)" for those with sufficient Connected: The Masters and/or Fist of the Bazaar.
In fact, one for each of the connections would be great, with an unlock requirement of a lot of renown and some favours. "Kingpin" for sufficient criminals, etc.
Edit: Also, does anyone know the origin of the title "Canon"?

Canon: a clergyman attached to a cathedral, as part of the cathedral's chapter. That isn't usually an independent priest in charge of their own church (rector or vicar) or working under a priest (curate).
I have to say, I'm quite fond of that title and will definitely be using it when I resume being a Midnighter

I think they have one for Jack? I'm sure I spotted it?
It'd be great to eventually have a longer list, like what you have for the Rose tattoos . . . I kind of hoped there'd be one for the Masters, too, based maybe off your level of connection, but I can see why they'd leave it off for the time being. It probably makes things easier to have a smaller list, until they can get an idea of what works and doesn't work, as well as how the gamers react.
That being said, I do long for another way to be closer to the masters, a title would be cool XD

I think "Agent" would be good as a general term--people who incline toward the Great Game could use it, or those who see themselves as Agents of some other larger cause (would Liberation of Night folks like it?). Anyway, it seems pretty wide-ranging and neutral to me.

I like "Miss" - good idea! I'd have taken that if it was an option.
Lots of good suggestions in this thread.
Some other neutral concepts, that might work for players of all levels:
Zailor
Urchin
Scholar
Investigator
Artist
Newcomer
Ex-convict
Dilletante

This was the most difficult decision I've ever had to make in my Fallen London history. Thankfully it is not permanent, otherwise I'd probably still be staring at the storylet and fidgeting.

We could have gender-neutral titles based on our novels/poetry:
Tragedy of Romance - Tragedian
An Allegorical Satire - Satirist
Epic Poetic Cycle - Poet
Tale of the Future - Futurist
Gothic Romance - Romanticist
Patriotic Adventure - Patriot
PS: Why did the urchin backed away when Pyro told them that he should be called Monster-Hunter? I mean, we're like cuddly seal puppies.

My character is thrilled to finally be addressed as "Sir." It drove him up the wall that, despite having a very masculine name and running around SHIRTLESS, people still seemed confused about his gender. This will definitely cut down on the number of people he wants to punch in a typical day. Thanks FBG!

This is cool ^_^
Though I think there should be a feminine version of the "glassman" title. Say, "glasslady." Glassman is currently the only profession title that has a masculine attribute in it. That was fine when it was simply the name of the profession ("man" in such a context being an acceptable short word for humanity), but if its a lady's form of address it should be feminine, no?

I like these. The urchin can give you literary criticism.

I absolutely agree! That's actually why I didn't choose that for my character despite being a glassman. I'm of "mysterious and indistinct gender" and if that had been "glassperson" I would have picked it in a heartbeat. As it is, my profession causes me quite a bit of an uneasy weird feeling every time it's mentioned.

As a non-binary person, I am very happy to see this happen. The fact I have played Fallen London every day for almost two years is very directly related to seeing that initial choice of "Mysterious and Indistinct Gender" and feeling like I belonged here.
The "whatever you are" stammer-pronouns were funny at first, but they got wearing, for reasons which you might guess.
(That said, I would totally see it as okay if someone were able to select those as an actually voluntary form of address. Maybe if you're a person who deliberately sees yourself as ostentatiously non-human looking.)
My partner's response, who is also non-binary and also plays FL character (just one, as opposed to my three): "This is neat. If only it were so simple in real life"
Lots of good future title suggestions in this thread. "Citizen" was an important addition as an alternative to Sir and Madam -- thank you! And the existing Profession titles were very cool, and their text flavorful.
