If so, can you confirm that you don’t want us to ask the requester whether they want to withdraw the request or change the name, but instead let the know that it’s an issue and send the request to the experts as-is, with a note about the suffix? Is there anything else we should be checking concerning suffixes?

I've changed "clash" to "potentially misaligned", which in combination with the reference to Section 4.2 should be clearer. Does that address your concern?
