There's having An honorary degree... and then there's having 6 of them plus numerous other awards, and all the achievements to back them up :)
Regardless, I've met people with only honorary doctorates, and it's a mixed bag when it comes to preferred titles. Often, though, the ones that really care, soon acquire a 'superior' title anyway, so it ends up becoming a moot point.
