# You don't add 'Dr' after a name.
Silly.

# What about if their last name is Dr.
As in, Hi there, I'm Gary Dr. Then you add Dr after Gary. Am I right?

# can't swear to know the 100% accuracy on this point,
but I believe you include both, the Esq. on
its own is used to replace 'Mr.' as a prefix,
and was generally used for those of higher social standing
when first introduced.
Its often used now for addressing social groups,
a particular example being the Freemasons,
which is how I know it's useage

# Can any Person use Esq instead then?
So i could be Brett Esq?
I pressume it is only for men though this title.

# any chap can use it after his name,
its been mauled about through the language and it's useage a lot
over the past few years, but it's now
accepted that anyone can use Esq. after
their name if they so wish, as opposed to using 'Mr'

and yes, males only, there is no female equivalent

# Esquire merely means that the bearer owns his own land.
Thus Mr Harrison Esq. is correct, whereas Johnson Esq. is wrong - Johnson is pennyless Northern scum.
