I'm faced with a peculiar situation. I am interacting with a vendor in the US. The CEO is an Indian. In his first email, he addressed me as

​Saurabhji

I requested him to drop the honorific 𝘫𝘪. Just addressing me as Saurabh would be fine. Subsequently, he started alternating between the following two forms:

Suarabh Ji
Shaurab ji

What do I do? Should I care at all? A rose by any other name...

Edit: We are now down to
Shaurab
Saurab jain
Progress!
