At my old school the deputy Headmaster's official title was 'the Vice Master'.

*snkk* - you said Headmaster!

I myself am pulling for an appointment as the Undersecretary of Napping.

I've had three different jobs doing very different things for which I was given the title "Specialist" just because they couldn't find a standardized term for whetever the hell I did (and in one of those places, they were going to all kinds of work to avoid calling me a "Systems Analyst" - sigh). But, when I was in college, I worked as a telephone screener for a radio talk show in L.A. and got the title of "Producer"... yeah, I was a Producer in Hollywood...
