I see a lot of people struggling to know how to refer to enben or what labels an enban might use (especially in regards to OCs and fancontent), so I figured it would be helpful if I shared a compilation I've made of gender-associated terms (in English.)
Titles of royalty/power:
- Feminine-associated: Baroness, Viscountess, Countess, Marchioness, Duchess, Princess, Queen, Empress, Mistress - Masculine-associated: Baronet, Viscount, Earl/Count, Marquess, Duke, Prince, King, Emperor, Lord, Master - Androgynous/Aporine-associated: Baronetum/Baronetun/Baronem/Baronen/Baronel/Baronex, Viscountem/Viscounten/Viscountel/Viscountex, Countem/Counten/Countel/Countex, Marquem/Marquen/Marquel, Duchum/Dukum/Duken/Duchen/Duche/Duchel/Dukel/Duchet/Duket/Duchex/Dukex, Princen/Princem/Princel/Princet/Princus, Monarch/Sovereign/Majesty/Ruler, Laird/Layord, Mastrum/Mistrum/Mastrun/Mistrun/Mastrel/Mistrel/Mastrex/Mistrex

Some people who wish for an androgynous/aporine-associated title may make up their own terms, which may not be listed here. Often these are terms using double Is (ie; nibi, zizi, titi, kipi, etc) or double/quadruple Es (ie; bebe, dede, jeejee, neenee, etc).
Sometimes the terms they use are joking or lighthearted in nature (ie; “Slaughter” as their descendant title, “Broom” as their title during a wedding, “Meme” as their parental title, etc.)
