I would caution you to think in the terms of the data storage (models) separately from data entry (forms via views). Most likely you want a class Person which would have a field for title. Maybe the title field is a FK to the Title model, maybe it is a charfield with or without 'choices' depending on your particular needs. As far as a form with 3 people, you probably are talking again about a ThreeRelatedPeople model (perhaps there is more descriptive name) that needs to track three people. It could have one m2m or 3 fks to Person depending on the strictness of the requirement for 3 and the business logic it supports. If you went this route, you could present a user with a form for ThreeRelatedPeople and they could choose three existing or create the requisite Person objects. -richard
