I've wondered whether an abandonment of Muggle titles may not be something 
that was adopted by the ww durring their Seclusion. The scarcity of wizards in 
general would make for an even greater scarcety of titled wizards, but the 
historical existence of "Sir" Nicolas and the "Baron" is a clear indication that 
such did once exist. 

I'm only surprised that they did not establish their own purely wizarding 
"titles" instead.
