You can only display one title.  I don't think people can see all of
the titles you have acquired.  To my knowledge, there are none for
killing a specific mob, but there for killing lots of certain mobs:
Spider-Foe, Watcher of Roads (killing brigands), Goblin-Hewer,
Fly-Swatter: http://lorebook.lotro.com/wiki/Category:Titles

One problem with the titles it that they are long.  If you got to
a busy area, the names are plaster your screen in a lot of yellow,
particularly all the "Master Expert Weaponsmith" types.

Yep.  There are also a lot for receiving emotes from others, e.g.,
"the Adorable" for 100 of /hugs, "the Dull" for 100 of /bored (max 5
per day).
