This whole exchange is so amusing.

I remember teaching a graduate seminar as a young professor and noting that students shouldn’t call me Dr. NQO and instead call me First Name. One foreign student looked uncomfortable and asked if there were another name he/she could use. I said Lord and Master NQO was fine but a bit cumbersome. Everyone laughed and the seminar went swimmingly.
