I think Maarten and Martin should sign their emails Dr. Buis and Dr. Weiss,
respectively. That still may lead to confusion if you read these names as
"bice" and "wice", and your "b" sounds are similar to "w" sounds, but that
confusion may only happen at social gatherings after a few drinks.
I still think it would be a lot easier if one of them would just
change their name to Joe. In Maaarten's case, this would have the
added advantage of not having his name misspelled all the time.
