Title
From WoWWiki
Titles are displayed before or after the character's name, usually as an indication of the character's achievements. While a character may have earned multiple titles, only one can be displayed at a time — players can choose which title to display, if any, in the Character Info frame. Prior to Patch 2.0, characters could only earn titles through the Honor System and could not alter which title was displayed.

Future Titles
More titles may be added into the game at a future point, including the reintroduction of the old honor system titles, but there's nothing concrete about either development in the foreseeable future.
In fact, we are already adding titles for specific events and have room to develop methods to gain other titles in the future.
Granted, most of the titles available currently are directly related to PvP and the Arena ranking system particularly, but there are other examples:
- Achieving Exalted reputation in all Battlegrounds will confer a title.
- The first gong ringer of the Ahn'Qiraj event will be conferred a title
Wrath of the Lich King
