I've actually met Norrie. Norrie used to live in Perth and I was a very young bank teller back in the late 80's. Norrie came in to open an account with me and as I was processing to the system it came to the required field "title". Mr/Mrs/Ms/Sir/Dr etc, obviously Norrie had objections to the gender specific titles and had yet to be knighted, so we had a problem. After a bit of discussion in the office, we found we could over-ride a make a custom selection. I suggested "The" and Norrie was well pleased. So from then on we had our customer "The Norrie". I should add that other than the very strong stance on gender, Norrie seemed quite a normal person.

It is just "Norrie" without that surname, as the name was changed to that legally.
